The Warrior by Elin Peer

We waited so long for this reunion! I was pretty disappointed with the reunion in the previous book, but I’m glad it was fleshed out more in this one.
A lot of people are really upset with Laura turning submissive again after she’s reunited with Magni. But this is 100% realistic! As much as she might want to change, it’s not going to happen so suddenly. People don’t change that fast. She’s lived her entire 20 years with always being the submissive good girl. But she DOES learn to stand up for herself - and Magni learns to let her. (Also being submissive sexually doesn’t equal being a submissive person in general. It’s fine if she wants to keep that dynamic the way that it is!)
I really enjoyed this book because of the growth that we see from both characters. They both show love in such different ways, which is such a common issue in couples! Magni thinks he’s showering Laura with love, but she doesn’t view his protectiveness that way. If only they could both take the 5 Love Languages quiz! But they do get there eventually.
