I love these types of duologies. Where you get different sides to a story. Not the total rehash but an actual look from the other perspective with other events you didn’t see. And this story built on that and moved the story forward.
Luke was a dick in the first book and with this book, I got to see his perspective. He was still a dick but I came to respect him and how he became who he was.
There are some plot holes and a few convenient solutions but I loved Ava and the babies and Luke too.
