[ETA, a few days later: Rating lowered from 4.25 to 4 stars. No, I can’t make up my mind. Move along.]

The theme with Katee Robert books, for me, seems to be that I love the women she writes, but the men are hit or miss. So, of course, I loved Ursa and Zuri, but in this case, I wasn’t as much a fan of Alaric. Though I liked him well enough by the end of the book, he rubbed me the wrong way for most of it.

Despite that, I still thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It’s the first book I’ve read with a FFM throuple instead of a FMM, and I loved that. Bring on the sapphics.

I definitely didn’t expect to love Ursa as much as I did. She’s complex and morally grey and also hot, even though I’m pretty sure she’s like 25 years older than me. I did like Zuri’s story and character arc, but I think Ursa’s was the most well-written.

If I had one complaint (aside from my opinion of Alaric), it would be that the ending felt a little rushed. The final conflict almost felt like an afterthought, added so close to the end of the book and resolved so quickly.
