I really appreciated that the author gives trigger warnings in the beginning of this book and one in particular is something that's not my jam at all.  But, I really liked this character in book 1, so I wanted to see what happened next.

That said, this book is 100ish pages longer than the first, and the length still felt too long.  This relationship also develops a lot faster than in book 1, and it felt a little rushed.  

There's quite a bit that I enjoyed, seeing the characters together and continue to grow, but even without the one particular content that I knew I wouldn't like, this Mavka felt so naive and it made me cringe, especially in the beginning, when it seemed like the FMC was almost taking advantage of him.

I don't know. He felt years younger than her even though he's obviously not.  It was a weird dynamic that I didn't love.

Regardless, I'm going to read book 3 cause Kitty was too fascinating even in his small mentions.
