Iโve been a fan of Rebecca Yarros writing for awhile now, every book of hers is packed with emotion, heartbreak and love. Great and Precious Things isnโt the exception, although I was expecting a lot more heartbreak (but Iโm sure thatโs just me being a masochist). This book is about love, but no just the romance type, but the love for family, for your people. Itโs about fighting for the ones who canโt make their own choices anymore.
After six years working in the military and going to war, Cam decides to go home after he receives a call from his father. But going back to a town where isnโt wanted because of choices and mistakes he made as a teen isnโt as pleasant. The thing about Cam is that he doesnโt care what everyone else thinks, he just fights for what itโs right, even if he has to go against his own blood, like his brother. But he also has the biggest heart, no matter how much he doesnโt want to see it. When he goes back to his home town, heโs met with Willow, theyโve been friends since they were kids, not only that but theyโve pretty much loved each other for years, but after some mistakes and misunderstandings when they were teens they went they separate ways.
Willow was so untouchable that she didnโt even go on the untouchable list. She went on the unthinkable one.โ
Willow is such a great character, sheโs determined, speaks the truth and goes for what she wants without hesitation. Sheโs straight forward and isnโt afraid to speak her mind.
There is no me without you.โ
There were times I really felt for Cam, specially when he had everything and everyone against him. But in the end he was the perfect hero. Overall the story was good and sometimes emotional and full of love, family, betrayal and healing.
