I mostly enjoyed this book. I wish that there was lesss retelling of the events that happen in DOTC books and more of park cats and life in the park and I wish that we got more from Riverstar in general but I liked the book I guess.
The pacing wasn't the best and I didn't enjoy the romance between Finch and Riverstar. It felt rushed and forced and I hated that she had to give up everything - her kits and her father just so she could be with Riverstar. Why did Riverstar need a romance plot/mate and kits again?
I did love that he has a platonic friendship with Night and that Night states that she doesn't want another mate or kits since her old mate and kits died - and that the book sticks up with it.
Ending Slash for good felt satisfying. I loved reading his death and I loved Finch for epically killing him off for good. I also didn't mind Skystar being a secondary villain in this one.
I feel like the book tried to cram too many plot lines and ideas into the story and none of it had a chance to develop fully. It had a lot more potential but at the same time, it wasn't as bad as I feared it would be.
