North and Shaw are baccckkkkkkk!!! Omg, I can't believe how much I've missed them. I practically highlighted this entire book. It was a little excessive. (But honestly... was it? Was it really?)

Seeing how much these two have changed but stayed the same since their arcs was amazing. And the growth they both have just over the course of this book is beautiful. GA is the master of allowing characters to grow while still maintaining their sense of self, and he pulls out all those stops with North and Shaw, particularly North.

While this is, as always, told from both North and Shaw's POV, this is definitely a North-centric story. He brute-forces his way through every interaction, blowing things up in his path, per usual. Everything comes to a head in this book, which may force our favorite loveable bully to do some introspection.

Seeing our boys interacting with the other characters was an absolute gift, as always. I adore seeing these characters learning new things about each other in this series. North and Emery pretending not to be friends are always some of my favorite scenes. And in this series, we've been blessed with North and Auggie and we thankfully get to see more of that. Also, some surprising interactions I wasn't expecting but honestly make complete sense when you really think about them.

I can't believe there's only one more full-length book left in this series after this. While I long to see how this all gets wrapped up, I'm already sad to see it end.

Highly recommend. Can't wait for The Evening Wolves!
