More time as a functional pack, that’s what was missing for me with this one. That and less of the miscommunication/Mikael feeling unworthy but not. saying. anything. about. it. There was so much good here, but I was still left wanting so much more.

This is a great omegaverse & hockey combination. Just know that (content warning) grief plays a large role in the later story. I thought it was handled well, but I still wanted to mention it.

Listening to this was somehow both an atonement for previous sins and the creation of new ones

Mehhhhh, but I’m having a hard time putting my finger on why. This might have just been too heavily Omegaverse for me (not generally my thing), and the instalove was REALLY insta. A few too many immediate comparisons to Emily Rath’s Jacksonville Rays (and they came out at about the same time, so now I’m wondering if they were both inspired by another why choose + Finnish hockey player, lol!) And the self-sabotaging female lead also just seemed… whiny. Like in addition to the ACTUAL whining, which I guess is an Omegaverse thing. Also SPOILERS, but whatever doctor was like, “her mom just died and her alphas aren’t showing up, let’s put her on this medication that may VERY WELL induce depression” is just a fucking idiot. It was written well enough, but the narrative dragged, the timeline dragged, and I just wasn’t that invested. I’ll probably give the next one (set up in this one) a shot, but
