Reviews with content warning for Death - Savage Bonds

I really enjoyed this next chapter in the series. We get to know more about Oli’s gift and see how her relationships with her bonds start to change and we get to meet Brutus! That’s all I can say about him. We learn a bit more about her bonds too. I like the pace of the reveals and the spice. I will say there still is a bit of filler that could have be cut down, but I am too invested in the characters and storyline for this to be an issue.
Definitely a step up from Book 1 and a worthy sequel.

I find that I am obsessed with these books and yet utterly annoyed by them. Part of them is because of a major development between Oli and her bonds and the other is Oli’s personality. She’s so presumptuous (although she does acknowledge that she may have done that about North) and just bitchy about things that if she took a moment to be logical and fair she wouldn’t be in these situations. I also hate that the relationships have changed the way they did. I love Gabe! He is my favorite with Atlas close behind. North actually developed higher up and then gryphon and Nox remaining at the bottom.

Spoiler

This is why I’m annoyed at the Gryphon bonding. I get that it was a situation out of either of their controls but seriously? It really should’ve been Atlas or Gabe first.

There were definitely funny moments and interesting plot developments. We’ll see where this goes from here.

Spoiler

I better get my justice for Gabe and Atlas. Those two deserve it. They actually developed a relationship with Oli outside of “being bonded”. Like they’re legitimately her friends too.
