I really enjoyed this book! It kind of gave me slight Shatter Me vibes just with the Gifted & Resistance side of things which i loved! Even though Gryphon was an ass at the start, in the last quarter of the book he really started to redeem himself and became swoon-worthy! When he was in Olis dorm and bought her supplies & an eftpos cardš§āāļøš§āāļøš¦š¦
I didnāt like how self-centred most of the bonds were. like why couldnāt they have taken the time to get to know Oli and understand why she ran away?? Atlas did that with no problem, so why couldnāt the others?
The ending was a bit too fast and even thought itās said to be left on a cliffhanger, itās not the best cliffhanger iāve read. i think there could have been more drama added, even if it was just an extra chapter. I also wish we got more background of Oli, and an explanation on how the Bonds work and some more info on the Resistance ect..
Oli is an absolute witty, strong, sarcastic boss bitch! she slayed the TT basement course, literally wiped the floor with those bitchesš i loved her so much! i do have one thing i didnt like about her and that was how much she said āfreakingā. i swear it was said at least once on every page :| like girl, just swear, weāre all adults hereš¤Ø but there were also parts where the āfreakingā wasnāt even necessary so that annoyed me a lot!
Overall i really enjoyed the book, i would have finished it a few days earlier but i was waiting for queen ashley to catch upšÆāāļø but i ended up finishing it without her anyway LOL
