Still annoyed at the overuse of specifics in phrasings - "bond" being just one. Oli is still written, annoyingly young. I realize she is only 19 but in the first book she's written as, a direct quote, a "mature nineteen". There's a good chunk of time that she acts kind of entitled, which I think is fully on the author for not characterizing her well enough because I don't think Oleander the actual character would act that way.
But this one starts to actually get a little interesting plot wise. Blood Bonds had me thinking "what's really going on here?" Some of the other bonds get a little more interesting and more character development happening.
Cliffhangers have nothing on me I already have Forced Bonds on deck!!
