Reckless by Lauren Roberts

4.5

4.5 ★ UNPOPULAR OPINION IK but i loved this book even more than the first one. i had issues with powerless’ plot and writing style even though i loved the characters. but in this book although everyone said nothing happened in it (which technically true it’s a lot of just traveling and talking) the CHARACTER GROWTH was fantastic. not the best i’ve ever read mind you, which is why it’s 4.5 not 5, but still absolutely fantastic. the plot twists revealed about kai and paedyn’s pasts were so interesting and added so much, i realllyyy loved when they talked about morals and souls and grief and being monsters bc they’re both so traumatized and tortured that being able to heal with each other is a beautiful thing. i didn’t annotate this book but i sooo wish i did there are so many beautiful lines in this, especially from kai my lover boy. did in fact shed tears at that ending. i guessed it earlier in the book but i was hoping i was wrong … turns out i was right and so que the sobbing. so glad i enjoyed this book more than the first one and the novella, it gives me hope for the rest of the series.
