I jumped the gun and stamped your card without waiting for the required request to be made on both the captains log AND the stamp request pages. In future, no stamp will be received unless done properly. Thanks.

My Review:
“... he’s a stubborn, close-lipped information hoarder who enjoys blind-siding me with life-altering fuckery.”This sums up Abernathy to.a.tee. It's becoming increasingly frustrating as the series progresses, for both me and Hanna. WHY is she always learning about everything from others? Just how long can/will he keep up the "I didn't tell you to protect you" or "I was trying to give you time to acclimate" reasoning for keeping her in the dark? It's repeatedly made clear to him that she needs to know. Trouble ensues and many times could've been avoided or impact lessened if he'd.just.TELL.HER! I cannot adequately express how frustrating he is to me at this point. But, hopefully some of what I was able to relay explains it enough.
Since finishing this installment, I've read all published to this point and yet he has done nothing to redeem himself in my blurred reader's eyes. Instead, he's reached "I wanna throat punch you" levels. 🤬
Why, then, do I keep reading? The little teaser endings, initially, led me to jump immediately into the next book to find out how the revelation or issue was received and handled. Later, it was the side characters, TBH. They are great! In many instances, they steal the show and grab hold of your heart.
It's been three months since Hanna and Abernathy's mating. Do ya think that, now that Hanna's his, he's decided to reveal all that he "couldn't" tell her before her decision was made? 1 guess is all you'd need -- NOPE! There are a number of instances where simply talking to her would've helped her and others.
That's enough of Abernathy's BS, onto better others. There's Morrison, poor Morrison, who's revealed to be (view spoiler). And, Hayden the dragon, who has a big heart and enviable peace within it. 🥰 The absolute funniest babysitting scene I've ever read! 🤣
If this was simply the Hanna and Mark show, honestly I think I'd have left the series by now. But, at this point, I'm fully invested, hoping (though I have no idea why, at this point) that Mark will pull his thick head outta his furry ass and wanting to know what will happen with/to the side characters I have become attached.
