Okay, I'll just say it....ALDKFJALKDJFOIFAHF! When I started with HOEAB, I was so confused I couldn't understand the hype, since SJM introduced 20 characters, 10 species and an entire unique government system in the first 100 pages. Like...#mindblownemoji But it didn't take long for me to be hook in the way that only SJM can, and HOSAB was just as addictive. The unique way that SJM is able to weave so much into the story, multiple plot threads twisting and pulling while still keeping your attention is unparalleled. Not to mention the plethora of swoonworthy males that leave you swerving into lanes left and right. At the start, you are cautiously optimistic that Hunt and Bryce will be able to find some measure of happiness. After the vents of HOEAB, they certainly earned it. But of course, it wouldn't be an SJM novel if the HEA was tied up in a nice little bow. The thunderbird story line felt unnecessary, however, as in the end it didn't accomplish anything. It gave forward motion for the first half of the novel, but no real closure or epic connection like everything else. I suppose it may come in HOFAS, but we have to wait until January 30 to find out. There were several gasp worthy moments that were brilliantly executed, just as there were some cringeworthy cliches, but I still loved every minute. And those last few chapters left me in a panic, screaming, crying, and wishing I had the book in my hand (I listened via Audible) so I could throw it across the room. I mean, HUNT???? Seriously? Ruhn and *spoiler*? But the part that pitched me right over the edge was the final chapter (before the epilogue), tying together another SJM world in such a fun way I can't wait to see how it all plays out. January 30th can't come fast enough!
