Oh. My. Goddess. Whatjusthappened. I’m OBSESSED.
Bound was much more intense than I had imagined and I cannot get enough of this story! Gliana is such a strong but also soft character. Even with the horrible things she has had to endure for her entire life, she still finds beauty in the world and strives to keep peace with those around her. She’s so intriguing and I cannot wait to watch her continue to grow in the second half of this duet!
The men! They are so different and well played. It was entirely too easy to fall head over heels for these characters. From the broken and gruff Khan, with a tragic backstory and ruthless nature. To the softhearted and adventurous Raksha who is endlessly loyal. And Barlo- the gentle giant whose devotion to his Ana’s safety is absolutely swoon worthy!
This reimagining of the Jungle Book has a dark and twisted side that pairs so very well with the dee emotional drive that the characters experience. I really cannot compliment the author enough and I’m patiently awaiting the next part of this story!
