gimmiiie's review against another edition

I almost DNF'd this book a lot sooner. I put it down for awhile before giving it another shot in hopes. 

And I  had so much hope for

Fallon to put Lore in his place for his controlling, possessive ways. I kept hoping until the public bath scene where he basically said he can touch her w/o consent as they're mates. Like nope. People in relationships can still say no. They have their own autonomy.

. The world building is neat but because of the above I just can't.
