Holyshit. I missed the whole gang sfm. You guys, I felt like I haven't laughed and giggled this much these last few weeks until this read. The writing was just as flawless as before. The characters, as a while cast and as separate individuals, are even more outstanding each new read. From the last book, I couldn't have imagined a more amazing version of Max but after Revolution, I could readily admit she has gone even crazier this time around. It always blows my mind even after all this time, after reminding myself every single time to not underestimate the series...
Honestly, I don't want to think that the next release would also be the last one...life is really unfair like that.
But anyway, let me swim for a while in my very own self-built pool of in-denial bullshit...sounds icky but I swear it's total bliss for now. I do have a couple more to talk about in this review.
Starting with Beyden. I mean, who would have thought, right? The resident giant teddy bear in the group, and turns out he could muster such assholery that could have trumped Ryker's. I mean, he's not an asshole perse, more exactly like, rather, his circumstances influenced him so. (And yes, I wasn't trying to make an excuse. It's a fact, which you'll get once you finished it.)
I think it wasn't just a lesson for him (i.e. a plot device to develop his character) but more like a lesson for his friends and us readers. Since the very beginning, we can always count on the big guy to be the designated nice guy, the one who is kind and compassionate and warm. And maybe that's why, I, personally, even reading the most cruel of words from his mouth, I just couldn't believe it. Oh, I was angered and hurt, on behalf of the heroine, but as soon as Beyden comes out of his haze, I know for sure he didn't mean any of those. I believe him when he said that not once did he ever think of that on his own. Again, the only explanation for this is in the book. I want to tell to each and every one of you to be rest assured. I promise. Everything else made sense in the end.
Which brings me to my next point: There is no heroine, other than Jazz that is, who is more perfect in every way for Beyden. The one fact that she loved him through his ugliest, that she was there for him throughout the most difficult point of his life...yep, Jazz simply connected to him on every possible way. She quickly became an invaluable member of this lovely family, and for that I was very happy for her and for Beyden.
If there would be a spin-off series about their children, I would like to sign myself up for them beforehand.
PS The whole read was funny af but Ryker fainting is definitely never going to be not funny. The things this series do to me, seriously
