You know that feeling when a side character steals your attention in book one and you immediately decide:
"Yep. I need their story."
Out of Moves is proof that sometimes getting what you asked for comes with consequences.
Book one convinced me Nolan and Astoria were going to destroy me emotionally.
Book two said:
"Correct…"
But not necessarily in the way I expected.
Astoria was hands down my favorite part of this book.
The woman spends the entire story being doubted, dismissed, blamed, protected when she doesn't want to be protected, and accused of things she literally warned everyone about.
At one point I was ready to start a support group.
The fact that she didn't commit multiple felonies before the halfway mark is a testament to her self-control.
Nolan, however… Sir.
I am trying so hard to be on your side.
I understand you're traumatized.
I understand you're angry.
I understand you're terrified of losing her.
What I do not understand is how your solution to all of those feelings became making Astoria's life significantly worse.
The emotional conflict between these two absolutely carried the story for me. Every time I thought they might finally have a productive conversation, one of them immediately made a terrible decision. (Usually Nolan.)
The mystery surrounding Logan also kept me invested, even if I spent a good portion of the book screaming:
"Can someone please explain what actually happened already?!"
The answers came slowly, the tension stayed high, and while I still have questions, I was definitely more invested in this story than I was in book one.
The real MVP, however? Acelynn.
Every time someone started treating Astoria like a punching bag, Acelynn appeared like an avenging angel of common sense and said exactly what I was thinking.
As she should.
Overall, this was messy, frustrating, emotionally chaotic, and occasionally made me want to throw Nolan directly into traffic.
Naturally, I'll be reading the next book.
