In fact most of this book is handled so naturally that I mostly forget the ages of the characters. I was really worried about how this harem was developing and said as much in the Stolen Crush review but so pleased to say the author has craftily considered and even openly monologued many natural concerns through her characters but once again has handled it organically. I am loving mostly everything about this series! It's so intriguing and nothing like what we've seen in the RH world so far. This is gearing up for one hell of an ending and hands down my favourite series from this author! And most importantly what roles are everyone playing. I just can't seem to work out how this is going to end and how woven the sub plot is. I know there was a lot to unpack but the treatment of some over others didn't sit right with me or what I know of the characters motives. The only aspect that gives me pause is how the relationships were handled at the end of the book, without giving too much away - hated how the feelings of some were considered to be less, secondary and ultimately sacrificial in comparison.
