Mena and Liam
Oh lordy how Mena's trauma is handled is so gorg!
Two spicy scenes and it's a slow burn - no sex until about 80% in but some heavy make outs beforehand, one of which she withdraws her consent from so they stop.
Liam is ????? Idk like he is so hot and all but also such a tool for colonisation. How do I feel about this lol I have no idea. I adored how much he loved his children. I love reading teenagers - so grumpy and complex.
The TWs - make sure you check them.
Interestingly infertility is mentioned a lot. Mena is "barren" and not even on the epilogue is she pregnant or do they have another child. I'm so used to books having infertile women as a theme and then having them be pregnant in the epilogue.
