In the second book, unlike the first, the main emphasis is on getting to know the characters and showing a lot of moments from their past, which were extremely important for turning them into the people who are in the present.
On the other hand, the dynamics are almost at all lost. The action is centered at the beginning of the book, and then a large part of it revolves around the conversations between the characters, in which they tell their stories. I think this could have been much sparser between the pages and not go into such a narrative mode, because there was a moment I was tired of just listening to conversations. The approach here could have been different, but the opportunity has been missed. At least it's good that there were occasional scenes with memories so that there is some balance and the story moves a little. It is only towards the end that there begins to be more dynamic again and more things happen, mainly in the relationship between the four characters, as it develops quite a bit in this book. However, this does not change the fact that the middle of the book, at least in my eyes, had a too much of a filling of information.
✨"How's it look?" I asked with a resigned sigh.
Christian's eyes locked onto mine, intense and unwavering. "Kitten. you look like my future," he said, his voice low and full of promise.✨
The other thing that was also too much for me was Scarlet's ambivalence towards the brothers and what to do. It's understandable that she's confused, given everything that's happened to her, and it's normal to wonder if she's gone crazy to get attached to them, but after a certain point, all these thoughts start to sound like ridiculous, as it is repeated the same thing throughout the whole book, and quite often at that if I might add. It certainly became more irritating than making you get into her situation and sympathize with her.
The ending is certainly quite surprising. I admit that I did not even suspect what would happen and because of this I was extremely interested in how things would develop there and whether the four of them would have a future together.
