Bonds of Justice still isn’t quite my favourite Psy-Changeling story – maybe because there are not Changelings in it, maybe it’s just the characters. Regardless, this might not be my favourite book in one of my favourite series, but I still kind of love it. I mean, Max and Sophia are a really lovely couple, and I love that they both work in the justice system. This is a great paranormal romance which, at its core is all about justice and fairness. One which, whilst not having a special space in my heart, is still one I really loved rereading.

One of the aspects of Sophia that I really enjoy is that she doesn’t really try and pretend to be purely Silent. I mean, in public and in interactions that could get her “rehabilitated”, she toes the line. But, there is no need for Max to try and get below the surface to her emotions. Rather, Sophia looks at the world of hurt she might be facing and just… embraces it. I love that she chooses to embrace her humanity again and again. It means that the emotional connection between Sophia and Max is almost instantaneous, and it’s the physicality that takes time to build.

Max was a really good secondary character in Talin’s story, Mine to Possess, but surprisingly, I didn’t find him as much of a draw card as I was expecting. Admittedly, this being a reread, I already knew that I felt that way about this book, so I went into it with lower expectations. That’s not to say that this book still isn’t better than most of the stories that grace my shelves, but it is still not the Psy-Changeling story that I find impossible to put down.

My favourite part of this whole book is honestly the secondary plot line. Whilst I enjoy Max and Sophia, it is their quest for justice and the truth that I absolutely adore. Particularly since I really enjoyed the myriad of ways in which Nikkita is capable to derailing their investigations. Plus, I just really enjoyed getting to know Sascha’s mother a little bit better and seriously wondering at her convoluted motivations for literally everything she does…
