The first book was rough to read with all the bullying. Don't get me wrong this is one of my favorite series but I am glad they wrote this book to get a different perspective

Lance Orion or I don’t want it!!!!! This book was worth it just for his chapters, so, so, good!
I guess the other heirs POVs are supposed to make you sympathetic to their part but it didn’t do anything but reinforce what I already thought about them.

UPDATE: RE READ 11/22
Probably one if my favorite books in the series!
By the way, DO NOT sleep on the audiobooks for this series. They are so damn good, especially if you are a Lance lover! His narration is perfection!!!!!

Where do I start… I liked it but I also hated it. Orions Chapters, amazing! Loved them, loved him! Caleb’s chapters, loved them. Even Maxs wasn’t to bad. Seth’s bugged me but I think that’s just Seth’s character rubbing off on me.
But Darius… I have never lost so much respect for a character over a book so quick. The excuses and personality just was bland, boring and basic.
And why was everyone so horny?!
It was cool seeing the other side and seeing those POVs in the opposite side even those couple of bonus chapters that were just the boys, they were cool.
I feel like this also kinda spoils a big key point in the future books, an obvious one but I feel like this concretes in that obviousness.
I don’t think I re-read this when it comes to my ZA binges I tend to do but I don’t regret reading it either.
