4.0

Favorite book in the series so far!! I feel like we got the most growth from all of the characters in this book. 

I am obsessed with Oli’s dynamic with each of her bonds. I was SO HAPPY that Gabe really started coming into his own as well. I hope we see more of him because I feel like he’s the one bond that gets neglected a little bit compared to the others. Although I’ve been feeling like Atlas has been forgotten about in this one a little. 

We’re building up to something with Nox too and I’m so excited! 

Finally, there is someone bigger and badder than Silas Davies behind the Resistance. Someone with the power to inflict pain and probably has void eyes. 

Also that ending! 

Current Bond Ranking (how can I choose?!): 

1. Gryphon 
2. North
3. Gabe 
4. Atlas 
5. Nox 

This is so hard to do now. I think Gryphon has been the most consistent, always in my top two! Atlas was holding the ranks for so long, but he just hasn’t been getting enough page time these days. 

I also have a feeling that Nox could soar ahead in book 5.
