The fantasy concept of Bonds is interesting but poorly explained. In particular, there’s a lot of weird stuff about consent that is really poorly addressed. I think that the characters are good but the main character is constantly engaged in information withholding which drives me nuts when I know that talking to someone would likely solve her problems! Also, this book has some sexual tension but there is no actual payoff which was confusing based off the recommendations I received. It’s an engaging read, but I feel like it needs refinement. Also, it’s way too long!
