in my mind, the last chapter simply does not exist. for my own sanity, i shall pretend like i didn’t read it and i will only accept what happens once i carry on with the next book😌
NOPE. NO THANK YOU. YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH THOSE TWO SENTENCES HAVE TORN ME APART. I’M ORGANISING MY OWN FUNERAL AS I SPEAK.
ughhhh these books. i keep thinking that at some point one of them is gonna disappoint but they never do. i think bc J. Bree has done such an incredible job at getting us to love and root for these characters, any issues with the books don’t even matter bc i’m just so invested in reading about these characters… i think at this point i’d read 100 pages about them just eating dinner🤷♀️
i actually love that i can’t just tell where each book is gonna go, especially knowing each one is gonna end on a cliffhanger. i mean, first Gabe’s big transformation? and then what happened in the last chapter? emotional whiplash for sure!
speaking of whiplash… going from a battle to an orgy certainly wasn’t in my expectations but good freaking lord, i need jesus. i would’ve liked all five of them to be participating, and certainly more group interaction but oh christ i very much enjoyed that👀
the list has changed a lot with this book. i adore each and every single one of Oli’s Bonds, but i keep forcing myself to rank them otherwise i’d never choose a favourite. so here it is after book 4:
1) Gryphon (will any of the others be able to move Gryph and his dirty mouth from the top spot? unlikely)
2) Gabe (HELLO?????!??!!? A MOTHERFUCKING DRAGON!??!???!??!!!?!!!)
3) North (i just love that he knows exactly what Oli needs and would literally die for her ugh)
4) Nox (we got CRUMBS from him and yet i’m living for them)
5) Atlas (don’t. someone’s gotta be at the bottom and it’s killing me to put him there😩)
