the connection feels really empty/ false. would have liked more of a slow build. I really enjoyed the spider mate trilogy because the realtionship despite being alien seemed so real. while the Sophie’s story is raw and real, I disliked how the realtionship she had with the forest spirit. ot fel very empty, and primal in a bad way. I’m all for fans and mystery, but the forest spirit seems to lack depth. honestly couldn’t get through the whole book because I felt so bired/ unmotivated for their realtihionship
