⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 stars.
Beware of spoilers
Seeing the gods' past lives made me so sad, I cried 😭. It was so heartbreaking that they lived a thousand lives and never got their happy ending. They watched each other die and didn’t want to live anymore or they knew they wouldn’t make it and decided to all die fighting and most of the times not everyone got reincarnated or if they did the timing was off 🥲. Now the gods crazy and possessive behaviors make sense 🥺, and it made me root for them 100x more. And y’all, why did Vivian die?!?!?! I fully SOBBED. Like why?!?! What purpose did it serve??? And then Unsers reaction 😭😭. It triggered him to go off 😭😭. But despite that, I’m happy Oli and her bonded finally got their happy ending. Although I wish we would get a novella of their lives like 5 or 10 years later and we would see Sage and her bonded too.
Favorite quotes/scenes:
“The Eternal. Without question, she is eternally and completely mine. The center of our Bonded Group, eternally the one thing that we can all agree on and come together for, all of us working together to keep her safe.”
“One look at her and I was a changed man. One look at her and I knew that I would do whatever it takes to protect her and give her the life that she deserves, one in which she would never feel that sort of pain ever again, and certainly not at the hands of my family.” (Atlas)
“Seeing them all here together is everything I have always hoped it would be. A hundred lifetimes with these men wouldn't be enough. A thousand lifetimes with all of them together would only be the beginning of what I need from them.” (Oli’s bond)
“The soul bonding had solidified my obsession with her and though I know my own past actions with her had been poisoned by my past, now all I can see is the perfection of her, all of the ways that this woman owns me and the ways that I own her as well.” (Nox)
“The girl in my arms who I was so sure would be the catalyst for our destruction has become anything but that. She's the reason we're all pulling together, the reason we all want more for ourselves and the community. Simply by existing, she has made everything better.” (Nox)
“My Bonded needs a better life, a better world. I’m going to make that for her, no matter the cost.” (North)
“I could hate this god for killing me, for being the one to spark the soul-bond that I share with my Bonded, but there's a part of me that will always be grateful for my death. I wouldn't have found Oleander in the darkness of my mind without it.” (Nox)
“I found my home. I've fought for it, I've bled for it, and now I get to enjoy it. My Bonded and I deserve it.” (Oli)
