This is a story about a family.
One of the more beautiful stories of found family and acceptance. Story of finding your place in the world and being surrounded by comfort, understanding, support, and love. Charlot's journey is ongoing and her discovery road of finding herself, or better yet, accepting her new self, is paved with challenges every step of the way. We see her as a growing person and as someone who, to every problem doesn't stop till she finds an answer. Her self-esteem is rising and she is no longer a scared young woman but a strong individual ready to take the world.
This is the part that I really enjoyed and that had the vibe of the previous book where we see her transformation from a human to a werewolf and the depth of the process of going through it.
The found family is what I loved about the story but I did have a bit of a letdown regarding the world-building and the plot itself.We were introduced to the rogues, which were the reason for Charlotte`s situation, but there was just a brief mention of them and I was expecting to see the encounter with them but nothing happened . It seems as if the balance of the plot was a bit off. The story was heavily set on the found family moment. In some parts of the story, it felt really heavy. In the first book, we had few main characters and it was easy to focus on the development of the transformation which was so interesting. Keeping with the development vibe and bringing a lot of new characters felt rushed as it was important to get all the new characters in and preparing them for the next book. It felt a bit overwhelming because we got to jump from one character to another.
Overall I did enjoy the book and will be reading the next one since the story had just begun.
I received an eARC from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion,
