*MILD SPOILER* Part of the book took place in a dream world in Crimson’s mind. Still a lot of danger and action, as per usual, though some of it had a twist that made it a bit more surreal and, let’s say, introspective for the characters. He’s such a jerk! But the authors have done a good job of making him interesting and still making me care about what happens to him. Retribution also had a significant part of the story, being a POV character again. And I loved the comfort and attraction that Jasper felt with both, since they’re both part of Crimson. They still loved each other, but it affected their relationship, they no longer had the same easiness and sweetness together.Ī little less sad, one of my favorite things about this one was getting to meet Zahir and the spider, as their own entities! That was cool. I don’t think Crimson quite understood why Jasper was struggling, he just felt like Jasper was unhappy with him, and I felt for him too. His thoughts and feelings and fears were realistic, and I like when trauma is acknowledged in books, when characters sometimes can’t just shrug things off. Jasper was really struggling with the emotional trauma of everything, and I felt so bad for him. This one seemed so much sadder in tone than the others. This has become one of my favorite series, and it was so easy to sink right back into the lives of these characters I love. *I received an ecopy of this book from the authors.
