Thoughts for my re-read review:

* This is probably more of a four star, 'cause it ain't a perfect read, but I still love this world and characters so much I don't give a damn lol

*I maintain my original opinion that someone who hasn't read the short story "Alpha and Omega" (that is featured in this edition) would be SOOO lost when they start this novel, because it literally starts a few hours later. It's not impossible to read without, but it does feel like *something* is missing.

*Charles is adorable. It makes me sad so very few people get to see that. Also, he is *clearly* the better brother. Samual who??

* Anna is so strong and fierce and she deserves all the happiness in the world. To survive what she has and still have so much heart left to give to others is astounding.

* Bran is low key one of my favs. Although, seriously dude, such a bad foundation for a relationship, and so unfair to Leah. Yeah, she's all those things you think, but she has a heart and that heart is in love with you and you are hurting her time and time again. Since we know what healthy mates look like (Anna & Charles, Mercy & I won't spoil) it really grates.

* I feel like some parts of the story are not set up so well, especially the Berserker part. The butterfly bit we got alluded to in the story before, but the Berserker came out of nowhere. Certainly a compelling part of the story, but I felt like it would have been nice if we had some seemingly unimportant comment on the matter long before and then BAM it became relevant. Cause I love when books do that.
