So annoyed with Kiva. I don’t understand why she feels so friggin loyal to her family that abandoned her for 10 years and then treated her terribly upon reuniting. ALL THE EVIDENCE shows that Jaren is kind, selfless, loyal, and smart. I’m struggling to get into book two because Kiva’s naive and unfounded loyalty to her family is ridiculous and unbelievable.
