  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

2.5

I think the first time I read this, I'd have given it 3.25 / 5 stars. On a reread, I'd say no more than 2.5 / 5.

Listen. I love Dixon's stories. I loved this series. But Zoey deserved more. I'm being so incredibly picky, but I wanted more for her. More getting to know Sentorr in person. More time with her brothers. More choice. It felt so much like they were getting rid of her / they didn't need her and it hurt. Sentorr never offered to leave for her at the beginning.

And I KNOW, reasons were given. But. I wanted more.
