The adventures of a girl trying to find her wife and having her best friend tagging along. All three are bonded to each other and immortal. And the best friend happens to be the protagonist 😂 Possibly the best premise ever.
The characters were so good and lovable. This is definitely on par with Murderbot, though a different genre. The story is just as intriguing.
The alternating flash back chapters were placed so well. Everytime we got to a new place or chapter character in the present, the past would show us how they came to be.
Also, this is just a found family story at it's heart. Kai and Ziede were my favourite. They worked so well together. They even picked up two other abandoned people to pack bond with! RIP Ramad 🙏🏻 you could've had it all.
This reads like a standalone. Although I realise we didn't get a few things answered but they don't affect the plot.
