I really enjoyed this collection.  There were some that really stood out, and while I originally borrowed this from the library I'm looking to add it to my personal collection at home.

I was really looking forward to Maitland and Maeve's story.  It was disappointing to see that they got a novella rather than a full story, but I typically enjoy a novella anyways.  In this instance, the topics/plotlines were tied to grief and making their story a novella, I feel, didn't do it justice.  This could have been an incredible slow burn but instead it was frustrating.  There wasn't any real character development, and often the characters would say one thing and then do or claim something different in the next, without any real progression or growth.  I would have preferred to wait for another installment in the series and have the stories really flushed out rather than feel like I read something rushed and thrown together.  I want to love these new characters and sometimes I really do, but the series as a whole leans heavily on nostalgia from characters in the original series and it's just not working for me.

While I’m sure this is a great comic it also reminded me why I don’t read horror. But I guess the queasy nauseous feeling I got reading this is an indicator that this was a good horror story. The artwork was also incredibly creepy and will probably give me nightmares. 

This is an extensive collection of poems, but I wish there was more information about why these poems were chosen.  It also wasn't very clear which poem was from which previous collection, or which was new.  Overall, I would have enjoyed the collection with some additional context or insight.

I was really looking forward to Kerr and Rose's story, and it did not disappoint.  I had a feeling Kerr would be my favorite of all the brothers, and he was perfect, but in a nuanced way.  He had moments that were out of character but they were acknowledged and addressed, adding dimension to the "dependable" brother.  And Rose also showed vulnerabilities, after having to act like the strong female lead for much of the beginning of the book.  I can't wait for the final installment but I think this one might have been one of my favorites.  I wouldn't quite call this enemies to lovers, because Kerr never feels that way, but there is similar tension on one side for sure.

I was worried because the last few books in this series was a bit disappointing, and I expected this to be a cringey enemies to lovers story but had to finish because it was the last in the series. It was actually really more of a sweet opposites attract story and I enjoyed it! The epilogue was a bit weird considering there was nothing paranormal in any of the books so far, so adding that in the final bit of the series felt out of place. 

I have been thinking about Kashmir a lot and wanting to learn more about it.  This collection was a great way to start exploring.  There were so many poems that resonated with so much of the current mainstream news cycle as well.

I will usually enjoy a quick novella but not this one.  Emma was incredibly likeable.  None of the conflicts felt fully flushed out, they just seemed to get sprinkled in.  Parts of the book also felt very similar to the author's most recent release, The Bear, so even parts of the plot felt a bit repetitive.  I'm not sure why some of the other couples were sprinkled in if we either aren't going to get their story or if they were suddenly no longer a couple.  I think more than anything the number of edits needed was the final straw for me.

This was an enjoyable read.  While there wasn't much of a mystery, I think that actually helped in making the book more relaxing.  Both of the MCs were likeable, and their romance was sweet.  The themes of grief, were there but I wish they had been explored more rather than kind of skipped over, partly by how the story jumps forward.  Overall I liked it, and am excited for the next Clan Ross series, and especially Munro's story.  I do wish the author would get a better editor.  I usually do not lower ratings over a few errors, but it's just too frequent for me to look past.  Towards the end there was just a random string of numbers at the end of a word.

I was really interested in this series but I struggled with this past volume. I think the bouncing back and forth between time was difficult for me to follow and then it seemed as if the issue suddenly resolved itself and then it just slipped 10-15 years ahead. The first two volumes really explored the way emotions like hate and grief can effect us and then the conclusion felt very rushed in comparison.
