I like how unique and fleshed out the world is but this book is a lot of running from A to B without stopping to ask any real questions or make any deductions. Like why can’t Darien track down the bunny that gave him the job in the first place and who does the bunny work for and why aren’t we using this as a lead?? Just very roundabout ways to create obfuscation that isn’t necessary.

Was not super vibing at the beginning but I think I’m starting to get the hype. I find myself not completely understanding Loren’s actions or motives.

I also have no idea why Loren and Darien like each other other than the fact that they’re both hot?? They both fall flat to me as characters which is shocking for an almost 800 page book. I feel like chapter one Loren was the most emphatic and honest portrayal of her character and we don’t get any of that angst and fear after that chapter. I’m still unsure as to why Darien decided to help her in the first place instead of turning her in?? Just because she’s human. Or because he killed people who were after her. Weird motives for the deadliest and most dangerous person in the circles. I don’t know. Something about the pacing is off.

I do really enjoy the Devils though and their relationships. Very wholesome and sweet. I like that they keep collecting strays during this mission. Overall, I’m entertained but I’m certainly not as impressed as I thought I would be. Who knows, maybe that’ll change?
EDIT: We are looking into the Bunny as a lead and Darien is helping her because she reminds him of his mom…a helpless human. Cool cool
