Very gross and descriptive writing, the imagery of eating maggot infested meat and crushing the maggots like jelly between your teeth almost made me vomit.
The ending was abrupt and kind of disappointing, I wished for a more planned out and better end but overall it was okay.
Bonus points for such an amazing book cover.
I loved the way that Octavia found her back bone after recognising that she had become a doormat, that's very rare in these books. I also surprisingly loved Sandro, there were times where he did something that frustrated me but they were minuscule things that could be easily overlooked, he was overall very good to Octavia and I loved the romance between them.
What an incredibly gripping book, I was far too engrossed in the story and what the outcome would be and how things were going to play out that I literally couldn't put it down. It was something I've personally never seen done before and enjoyed that there was genuine research done to convey the Native's stories appropriately.
I also loved Faye and Felix's relationship, the devotion he had for her, and how he stayed by her side no matter how crazy the situation got and was trying his best to help her, it was very sweet.
A sweet and satisfying end to an amazing series! I've been obsessed with The Bonds That Tie from the very first book and have been eagerly devouring each release since and I can't believe it's really over!
The entire plot was unique and something I haven't seen done before. The action during the whole series has kept me on my toes, it has been gripping and truly entertaining to read. The romance between Oli and her bonded group has been incredibly sweet. I loved reading each of their individual moments with Oli and their first bonding's to each other, especially Nox's, and how they all learnt to get along with one another and their god bonds.
I've thoroughly enjoyed this series since the very beginning and I think that the way J. Bree executed it was great. I'm genuinely a little sad that it's over and that we'll have to say goodbye to Oli and her boys but I can't wait to read what's to come next from J! I'm lowkey hoping that some time we get to delve into Sage or Sawyer's story.
A quick and easy read that left me entertained. I surprisingly really liked Chase, he seemed sweet, it was a shame that he got barely any screen time.
My biggest complaint is that so much of this book is just Quinn's inner monologue repeating the same things that were said 3 paragraphs ago, which was also said 2 pages ago, which was also said 4 chapters ago, it got annoying very quickly and I wish we could've had less of Quinn's thoughts and more character build up for Chase.
Ainslie wrote so wonderfully, I was sucked into the story right from the beginning. Abby, and even Ralph, were written so well! I was incredibly invested in how the story was going to play out and I absolutely loved experiencing and being in Abby's head during her slow descent into madness.
That ending. Phew.
It's true when they say don't judge a book by its cover. When I was suggested Bound to the Battle God, I was very skeptical and I debated on whether or not I would enjoy it but I'm glad I took a chance because I genuinely can't remember the last time I had this much fun reading a book.
Faith's sense of humour was amazing, it was natural and not at all cringey, she left me genuinely amused by her antics, I believe she was a very solid character and I loved her. Aron was amazing also, he was arrogance personified and you could definitely tell but he also, like faith, had a wicked sense of humour that amused me. Faith and Aron's care for each other was sweet and the chemistry between them was cackling.
The universe that Ruby created in this story was amazing, I was throughly entertained by both the action and the romance. I loved the entire concept, it was something I've never seen before and I think Ruby executed it very well. I plan to delve into this series and read about the other gods stories.
One of my biggest pet peeves in books is when the author tells you rather than shows you what's going on. There were so many time skips and mentions of moments between Banks and Noura that we didn't get to experience, especially during his “grovel” (if you can even call it that), and because of that I feel as if Banks' sudden change of attitude towards Noura and his plan to win her back was unbelievable and didn't redeem him at all.
I've tried to read this series many times and they just aren't for me. I lost interest very quickly.
I didn't like the way it was written.
Wasn't feeling it.
I got bored.
I got bored.
Couldn't get into it.
Got bored.
Just not for me.
Actually terrible.
Hard to read, I wish I could've enjoyed it.
Lost interest, hard to read.
Written so terribly, it was unbearable and I was confused the whole time.
FMC came across as annoying and immature and I couldn't push through it.
Really slow beginning, I lost interest.
