Exodus The Ravenhood #2

Kate Stewart2020
"I didn’t heed a single warning. I let my sickness, my love, both rule and ruin me. I played my part, eyes wide open, tempting fate until it delivered. There was never going to be an escape. All of us are to blame for what happened. All of us serving our own sentences. We were careless and reckless, thinking our youth made us indestructible, exempt from our sins, and it cost us all. I’m done pretending I didn’t leave the largest part of me between these hills and valleys, between the sea of trees that hold my secrets. It’s the reason I’m back. To make peace with my fate." -- Amazon.com

Then once Cecelia comes back like 6 years later Sean’s moved on w a wife and kids and Tobias pretends to not want Cecelia so Cecelia leaves and later he comes back for her and they end up together. I felt to much pain for Cecelia I feel so bad for her she didn’t deserve it at all

Another quick and easy read. I didn’t quite get the connection between the FMC and her third lover in this one. Cecelia comes off as very whiny to me, which disconnected me from the story and its characters. Cecelia’s jumps from one moral standing to the next, she’s very inconsistent and I couldn’t understand her as a character. All the men in the book end up sounding the same as well, they act (and react) the same to her and everything else. A bit more diversity and thoughtfulness to the story line could have made this a really good book imo. Spice is off the charts again if that’s what you’re into. I was just expecting more considering the prologue from Flock. Still, nothing feels answered from when I started the first book.

Wow. Wow. This book ruined me in the best way. It made me grieve a man that I’ve literally never even met in real life. The main characters pain is felt through the writing. Her grief for Dom and the life she thought she was going to have is tangible. This is the second time I’ve read this book. And I decided to listen to the audiobook. And I loved it even more, and I didn’t even know that was possible. Hearing the pain in each characters voice really did me in emotionally.

Someone please explain to me what this book is about… I read 70% because I thought okay the first one is terrible but I can push thru. I stopped and am unable to waste my time any longer. We read this in our book club and ultimately decided we couldn’t finish it because it was that stupid.

This book emotionally destroyed me start to finish in the more beautiful, heartbreaking, insane way. I have never felt so emotionally connected to a story or characters. I have never read about so many types of love, each unique in their own way. This story and the writing are so beautiful.

Talk about a toxic relationship... This one felt different from the 1st one and I enjoyed it I wasn't expecting the love interest to be someone else, being that the 1st book was about a Polyamorous relationship I figured it would be about one of the two or even the both of them. Tobias is a very much morally grey character, specially in the beginning. But we get to know him during the story which makes me sort of like him. now our heroine Cecelia, she's definitely different in this book, particularly on the second part of the book which happens in a different period of time. It's honestly so sad to see how "alone" this character is, everyone in her life has disappointed and lied to her. She's just broken and to read about her hopes and in a way dreams just being shattered right and left was definitely heartbroken. I didn't like the ending, it felt sort of rushed, and I was sort of confused with the epilogue. I know there's technically a 3rd book, but since this is titled has a Duology I just think the ending could've been better.

this book was fucking incredible. i won’t lie, i started the book series at 3 in the morning, just looking for a good old reverse harem story but here, this time at 2 in the morning crying over this book and so proud of cecilia.  this book was just so amazing, probably my favourite that i think i’ve ever read, it made me laugh and cry (so much), and reflect on my own life and wow. it was just wow

I’m keeping my love story, not because it included both martyr and sacrifice, or because it’s the story I wanted, it’s because I would never rewrite it. And I would live it all over again just for the chance to sing with him.

I've come to realize I'm broken that way. I lived too much. I experienced too much when I was too young. It was intense, and it made me … think differently, crave life differently.
