Very interesting take indeed
I was actually very surprised at the main love interest, I went into this thinking he would be some kind of werewolf. I was pleasantly surprised when ended up being uniquely different but also very familiar, the story unfolds decently for a war torn and veil torn dystopian world. It was functional and believable, a very unique take on magic and magical beings mixed into the mundane world. The witches power was interesting as well, considering how he didn’t have much power to begin with. Watching it evolve towards the end was nice. I’m also a huge fan of mating bites and blood related bonding rituals, that tickled my fancy. As a psychopath, I also like when characters are written in books as psychopathic as well, even if the actions of said character are a tad stereotypical. I like feeling represented in books, gives me hope that one day, I could be my version of “loved” by my life partner. The violence in this book was pretty tasty, and I liked how the characters weren’t scared to exact revenge or do what needed to be done. That being said, the build up for the climactic confrontation with Ryders grandmother was a let down. I expected more from an alleged powerful witch, she hardly fought back at all and it was over way too quickly for my liking. Overall I liked this book and would recommend it, it would’ve been nice if it was longer though
