Ruari is my favorite and everyone else is dumb lol.  A bit sad that the part of his past that comes to light kind of just falls to the back burner or had such a short anti climactic conclusion.  But I guess it really aligns with his personality so I can't be mad about it.  Esme was cool but there were times that she could be annoying.  I was actually disappointed in all the wives in this book.  People do reckless things in the name of caring but it just kind of rubbed me the wrong way.  Content warnings for mention of rape, torture, and kidnapping.
