Twisted Fates by Danielle Rollins

Disappointed with the romance. Given the ending of the last book and the immediate events at the beginning of this one, we don't grow Dorothy and Ash's relationship any more, we just keep pretending that they're already in love (even though at one point very early on here, Ash says/thinks he's not in love with her, not yet) and that it's a sweeping soulmate sort of love. I don't buy it. It wasn't set up well enough in the first book if that's how you're gonna play it in this one, since you don't expand on it like at all.
Didn't love how Dorothy's character's growth/changes. I get that it was all leading up to helping the people and saving them, but the manner of going about it was so odd and bizarre. Also, given that she had to have come up with the Quinn Fox persona and everything at some point made it even stranger. And it was upsetting that ANYONE ever would work with/tolerate that shit bag Mac Murphy. Just end him.
It pissed me off that they never actually helped the girls enslaved under Mac. That really cost some of the characters a lot of respect I might have otherwise had for them. And if I don't respect a character, chances are I also don't like them very much.
I really like Roman, for the most part.
All in all, a pretty crappy middle book that lost some points for stupid character stuff, but I'm sticking around because time travel and I want to see how it all shakes out.
