I don’t think I can continue to Book 5 — it’s just too much at this point, and I have a strong feeling it’s heading in the wrong direction. Book 1 remains my favorite because I felt pure, powerful love there. When Meek and Mo were together, my heart would literally beat out of my chest from the emotions between them. Their connection was raw and undeniable.
But as I got into Books 2, 3, and 4, her love life started to feel different when messiah came back— more like chaos than romance. All I’ve been feeling is anxiety. The love between Morgan and Messiah feels they’re holding on because of their shared past, not because they truly belong together now. It’s painful to watch them cling to each other while slowly tearing themselves apart.
I really didn’t like how Morgan seemed to be forcing the kids to love Messiah. Her relationship with him feels more like an obligation than experiencing love — like she’s staying with him because he’s the father of her children, her teenage love, and someone she’s familiar with. But that’s just comfort, and it’s destroying her.
When Messiah was in therapy, it felt like he was trying to convince himself (and the therapist) that he loves Morgan more than Bleu. Even the therapist could see that he views Morgan more like a possession than a partner. I didn’t like Messiah’s character from the beginning, but what really made me HATE him was his reaction to the loss of the babies. When Morgan told him she lost one of the triplets, he sobbed. But when Bleu revealed she lost her baby too — his son — his reaction was nowhere near the same. How can you be so emotional over one child and not have the same feelings about the other? That was the moment I truly lost all respect for him.
At this point, I just want Morgan to come to her senses. She’s acting naive and immature. I don’t see a queen or even a princess — I see a brat. Meanwhile, I’m glad Ahmeek is starting to pull away. He’s protecting his heart, even though he still loves Morgan deeply. The sad part is, he still loves Messiah too — despite everything. And Messiah clearly doesn’t return that love in the same way.
I’m honestly afraid to read Book 5, because I feel like it’s going to end in disaster if Morgan chooses Messiah. Even with all the therapy and “growth,” Messiah still isn’t it. He’s not the one.
