I don't know exactly how to rate this book. It was good as in dynamic characters, an engaging plot, and good writing... I just don't think Motorcycle Club is a genre I'm ever going to really get into. To be fair I knew that before I read this book.
I felt like Sophie was a really believable character, and while I didn't love all her choices, I really believed her as a character, and I really felt for her. I didn't love all the body betrayal stuff on her part, but all in all I respected her and was really rooting for her.
Ruger was definitely more challenging to like, but he was also a believable character. I mean, presumably, this is the culture of Motorcycle Clubs so he felt about as likeable as you could get for a MC in that setting. I also appreciated that he softened some, or at least became more flexible and less domineering/bossy "my way is the only way" over the course of the story. And he did eventually come around.
Overall, I won't be reading anymore from the series. Watching SoA was enough to satisfy my MC genre needs for a while longer.
