If you have read my review for A Light in the Flame you know that sex taking over the plot in a series that I otherwise adore was a real repellent for me. What I mean is that the graphic sex NEVER overpowered the story! And it’s a GIANT PLUS for me! And that made it much more believable to me.Īlso, if there are very very hot sex scenes, they are few thank god! Rather it builds up slowly and organically with the wellbeing of their bonded at the center of it. What made it work for me is that every man had to work to give room to the others and that didn’t happen instantly. Well I guess Bonds that Tie is the infamous exception to the rule for me. Give me a possessive and protective alpha or cinnamon roll hero any day! This is a reverse harem urban fantasy series and I’d like to begin with: I don’t like reverse harem! It's not hard to guess why she ran, and I suspected what her gift was for the most part, but doesn't ruin the book for me.I rated each book 4,5 stars so the whole series gets a 4,5 stars rating I think my only complaint was having to wait to find out why Oli ran from her bonds, or what her gifts are.
I enjoyed Oli, and her bonds (except for Nox, and I will get to that). And the whole reverse harem dynamic is normal for gifted society, so its not taboo in this series. Blood tests point you in the direction of your bonds. How gifted people finds their bonds (or mates), is not something stumbled upon, but scientific. For an urban fantasy, set in our world, the "magic" system and politics felt unique. Not wanting to miss out just because I dragged my feet on reading them, I quickly downloaded them to my kindle, and let me tell you: this book didn't disappoint. I have seen this series recommended a lot on #booktok and various facebook groups, but what really pushed me to read it right away was the hint that Bookish Box was doing luxe editions of the series.
