Thank you Elayna for the delight of being able to read this early 💚
Some time after "A Curse of Stars and Storms" and this I discovered I'm not a third-person POV reader. As such, there were a few spots where the wording, and / or words themselves, ripped me out of the story, so I give it 4.5 ⭐ and 3.5 🌶️
“There are so many clouds, Nik. So much darkness.”
I love River's growth, so much, but wish there was more of her sitting in the aftermath, being at rock bottom clawing her way out of it. I felt her progression was maybe a bit too fast. Their relationship is so sweet, and I absolutely love how Ryker reacted 😂
Uggh Nikhail. He's perfect.
"I failed you, River. I'm so sorry."
And Ryker.
“River, I’m so fucking sorry.” Sorrow and regret were painted on his face.
Gods above Elayna, the way you write these guys realizing and apologizing for their mistakes is just 🤌🏻
Other males say "I love you," but Nikhail says:
“If you break, I will be there. If you shatter, I will pick up the pieces and glue every one back together. I will not let this life destroy you, River.”
