listen. This is one of SJMs BEST developed arcs in plot, character, and organization. Everything was chefs kiss. I mean. 

IT WAS. SHE IS. THE MOMENT. two things…if you found yourself oddly attracted to the fox in zootopia, I would like to humbly acknowledge that we were correct to feel such things for an animated beast, because HUNT ATHALAR IS HIM. Anyways.

I felt the crux of every friendship in the novel. The beauty of loyalty can shine when well written and I found myself shedding a few tears at a time from the pure display of friendship and love that exists in found family. I also just DEEPLY love Bryce and her character develops so wonderfully throughout this book. Like I went from appreciating her to LOVING her and she’s true to her nature from the first page to the last. Loyalty to her people and herself.

Ugh - I’m scared. I just want this book to be a stand alone and move on with my life. I’ve got my HEA and I’m fine. But alas, I will be returning to the second book and third in the coming weeks.
