Ever the Hunted

Hey Tim,

It's Dew. What's up with you man? Haven't seen you in ages. Hope you're doing well. Call me back so I know you're not dead. Ha. That's a reference to a video game. I don't know what video game, only that they played it on Late Night With Cry and Russ on Twitch. A lovely group of gentlemen, if I do say so myself. Also, I have a paper to write, but I have no clue what it's about so. . . books.

I finished Ever the Hunted by Erin Summerill this morning. It's about a girl named Britta Flannery searching for justice for her father. Circumstances of her birth have made her an outcast to society and the only people she cared about left. Cohen, her friend and father's apprentice, broke her heart when he left after promising to come back. He never did. Her father was murdered two months ago. A brush with the law gives her the chance to find the killer, except the killer is Cohen. Oh, what will happen next?

I liked this book. Britta is both dry and awkward and just wants stability and to be loved. It's a little too real. Of course, I had a few issues. Cohen for example. His whole character irked me. With his track record, you'd think he'd listen to someone? Especially when that someone is clearly better than you. But you don't, because you're dumb. And then he's just. . . ugh. I have so many feelings, but I started reading the next book before I started writing this and I'm listening to Gladys Knight slay my whole life and so I can't focus. I do think it's rude that Erin would give my girl Britta someone and then snatch them away. That's rude and ungrateful. Also, someone on Goodreads asked if there were any LGBTQ characters and/or themes in this book and Erin said a character was set up to be so. So. I was trying to identify the gay the whole time. My guess is that it's either the king or Leif. Oh! I kind of wanted Leif and Britta to be together. I thought it would be good. He's kind of complicit, but I think he's cute. Or maybe Jacinda? She could be gay. Hm. I have things to think about. Now nostalgia is about to take me away, so let me sign off.

I liked this book. Captain Omar is going to be the death of me, but alas, it must be so. If you like magic, woods living, and whodunit's go read this book. Kay bye. I can't live, can't breathe without air.

Ship: Britta and Leif tbh

Snake: Tomas, Omar

Cool: Enat, Jacinda

7/10
