Burdened Bonds (The Arrow Hart Academy #4) by Hannah Haze

Burdened Bonds by Hannah Haze
My Rating: ★★★

After barely escaping the attack that destroyed the academy, Rhianna finds herself on the run with Renzo. He’s not someone she would normally choose for herself, but she’s starting to see why fate has thrown them together. Rhi doesn’t have much time to dwell on it though. There’s someone extremely powerful and evil who has put a price on her head, and he’s just taken over as chancellor by force. To top things off, she doesn’t know if Tristan is dead or alive, and Spencer is missing all together. How will she get through this?

While I’ve been enjoying this series, I was a bit disappointed with the previous book. Luckily, this installment has restored my faith in the series. I really enjoyed following all of the characters, especially Rhi and Renzo. He’s the only one of Rhi’s mates that we’ve spent very little time with, so it was great to finally learn more about him while they were doing their best to get somewhere safe.

However, it did still have some issues. The interactions between some of the characters was super clunky in Stone and Azlan’s chapters during the search for Rhi. It also seemed like various characters lost every last brain cell at times. The lack of communication was also a problem. I’m not sure why the story keeps making a point for there to be no secrets only to hold off sharing some major information that would help them decide what to do.

All in all, I enjoyed reading this, but I did occasionally pause to side eye the lack of communication and lack of brain cells on and off. The good news is that I’m about to start the final book, so everything will be out in the open… I think. Anything can happen!
