KOA but make it urban - long, thick, slow-medium pace until the last 100 pages. Wanted to DNF due to emotional turmoil but un-DNFed.

I really liked this book even though it took half of my lifetime to read. I really enjoy how this book differs than the beginnings of her other two series in the sense that this one is so long so she can pace it differently. This one hits differently than the other ones. Can’t really explain why - just a vibe.

There is ofc more to say but none of it really unique. I did know a lot of spoilers going into this one but a few things did wreck me AKA all of the deaths.

Ok when I understood the obsession with Hunt - “I’ve got you," he murmured. "Sweetheart, I've got you.”
