I have heard many many things about ”Broken Bonds” within the past year & I am so excited to be beginning this journey! :)
I want to start off by saying that I adore the premise of this novel — it’s very original + interesting!
While the characters are also intriguing — I can’t wait to delve deeper into their personalities — there were times where they came across as being a bit juvenile? I wish there was better communication amongst all of the characters & not an absurd amount of mentions about things that Oli could never even think to share with her bonds (or the audience, for that matter).

I am excited to continue the rest of the series & see how all of the relationships progress, though! ♡

The writing felt repetitive and a little bland at times. I am curious about the next book though so I’m looking forward to it
