Bonds of Justice

Sadly, this is another couple I just didn't particularly connect with. I like Max and Sophia as characters on their own, but together they just didn't really do anything for me. My opinion is also affected by the fact that this book has one of the most egregious cases of insta-love out of the entire series. I've learned to sort of wave it away after reading so many books in this world but I'm almost certain this book takes place over the course of MAYBE 2 weeks. And they're talking about marriage by the end of it. I just feel like it's not too hard to put in a time skip or two. Even a few months would've made this more realistic; I wouldn't even care if the time skips were badly done. It would've been SOMETHING.

However, the lore is what saved me from rating this lower. Both getting more details on the J-Psy and spending more time than normal with Council and seeing the deepening schism between them was fascinating. We're really starting to pick up steam towards Trinity now and I can't wait to see how it all goes down.
