Let me first give this woman a standing (slow-clap) ovation.

I don't care that some people call this a filler book or something like that. This is not an ending book and it deals with trauma and consequences. To make that work you have to address every aspect or don't use it at all to make the book dark, just to fit in some trend. Don't bother with it at all, or you will do injustice towards those who had real trauma.

Once again the found family is so much stronger than a family gained by birth and that shows the true power within them and the power that shines from you.

Then the maturity of the characters, over the roof.

You have trauma, it feels real
You are a villain, you are real.
You love, you love for real.

No matter if it is good or bad it feels real. No matter Fae or Human, it feels real.
Miscommunication we don't need you here, Ty, Goodbye.

And the side characters... there are no side characters! Everyone is important, everyone is a main character within their story in the book and this is proven with just a few chapters of Osrik and Rissa... OMG!!!
