I was very excited when I started reading the book becauseI am a poly reader and I love when more of this kind of books are coming out. What was disappointing was the lack of emotional depth of the characters. I couldn't feel the emotionality and build a picture of everyone involved due to the lack of descriptions, inner monologue, feelings, motivation, personal preferences. Although a big part of the main character is his wolf, they are both living like separate entities. I hoped to see the pack, the members and the dynamics as a part of the world building but it wasn't described at all and seen on page. The way the action unfolds in the book did not allow me to merge with what I was reading and grab my attention. I was expecting more suspense,angst more complexity, more difficulties and a gradual development of the relationship between the three main characters.
It's a well-written book but the story is somehow flat. There is a good foundation for a build up, there are interesting ideas but they need developing and some more work.
I received the book as an ARC and this is my honest review.
