Brighter Than Fear
by Becca Seymour
Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.
The world as I knew it seemed to be arse up, backwards, and inside out.
Not my favorite in the series, but still fun. There was *a lot* of tech and case details in this one, which I normally love, but it kinda just left me confused about the case for a bit, especially in the middle. The beginning and ending was more clear and held my interest.
The medical situation(s) was probably my favorite part as it felt very different, and Rowan and Flynn ended up having a cute relationship. I would’ve loved to see more of them together, but what we got was cute. It felt like a slow burn even though it wasn’t, because the first time they were intimate didn’t quite fit with the story and characters. This was mostly due to what I’ll call a ‘shift haze’, which is also why there’s a warning for dubious consent.
I still want to read the next book, but I was hoping for more in this one.
