*Spoiler Ahead*
I understand why people are upset about what happened to Grey and Shadow toward the end. But think about if they didn’t get punished and was instead letting off with just some heated argument and quick understanding. First it would be less enjoyable without the emotional rollercoaster. And having his hand injured it makes shadow part of the club now, making that sacrifice is almost like to prospecting, knight even said so. Imagine if there’s no major consequences, the reader wouldn’t really feel like they are still the underdog couple in the club, the whole “us against the world” sentiment, as ridiculous as it is, still have emotional draw for me. Overall I still very much enjoy this book, maybe even better than the other ones. Some of the crazy scenes in there are just the right amount beyond imagination for the me to feel the magic. Highly recommend it.
