I am so glad that we were able to see some of Oli’s bonds develop in this novel! It was so refreshing to see that some progress was made! :) 

While I was happy with most of the relationship aspects of ”Savage Bonds“, there were parts that I felt could’ve been done a bit better. 
There were some plot points that I believe were executed quite poorly & could’ve used some more foreshadowing / discussion…

For instance — the strange man that Oli starts thinking of that’s associated with the Resistance? Where was the buildup for that in the first novel? I would have loved to see that miniature plot point grow naturally as the story progressed, but instead his entrance into the plot felt so sudden and a bewildering?

TLDR: I hope that we receive more answers + world building + significant relationship development + better communication in the next one!

Brutus + August are the best characters in this series. ♡
