great plot
Great plot, but it just didn’t have enough substance for me. I really wanted to see the parents woven into the story more Amara’s mother barely got a mention, and Cassin’s father, while present, only ever showed up in a business context. I wanted more of their relationship, especially since Cassin’s mother had already passed.
And a few things never got answered that I was hoping for: What ended up happening with Raylin’s sentence? Did Cassin and Amara end up having a boy or a girl? Those felt like threads the author set up but just left hanging.
