My Rate: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 

The writing was amazing, the action plot was thrilling and there are no dull moments in this book, enjoyed it really much.

Equality rate: ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 

In comparison with the first book, this one was WAY better, in terms of consent and “open communication”. The dynamics were not so different from book one, but there is one tiny detail: SHE CONSENTED TO IT!!!!!

It made a huge difference for me. Comparing their relationship while they were all lying to her, with when she is aware of the situation and SHE DECIDES she wants it.

Also, there’s no Dub Con here, everything (for the most part) was fully consented and I appreciate that.

Also, we saw different sides from the male characters that we hadn’t before, and in my head, they are not such assholes anymore.

So in the end, it is still a kinda low rate for equality, but it was enough for me to read it and enjoy it a lot.

Adjectives and general thoughts: Still very interesting, amazing writing, but the consent is better here, so I really truly enjoyed it

Well, that is all for today, I hope you like this post, hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. Feel free to leave your opinion about it in the comments and I will see you next time! 

Bye sassy people! 

• I know that some comments I make about decent guys on my posts are the bare minimum a guy should do, so no, they don’t deserve to be treated like gods for doing the minimum, but at the same time, I’ve read a lot of sexist books and I appreciate authors who make characters that can serve as role models and examples of how a decent guy acts and what a loving and respectful relationship looks like. I believe we should always encourage these authors and bring attention to the ones that still write sexist characters and stories. 
• I make a lot of comments about sexism and healthy role models in books, but a lot of times these characteristics don’t make the book a bad book and definitely don’t make the author a bad author. Please never shame these authors and these books for these comments, I simply feel that we need to have awareness of the less than ideal situations some books bring us, and not use the romanticized problem as examples of what a relationship should be. Most of these authors are still amazing, and the content they write doesn’t reflect directly with their personal views and opinions. Always make sure to respect and be kind to everyone, even while criticizing their content.
