But For The Mountains (Embers in Wait, #1)

(copied from my review on NetGalley. thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-book in exchange for an honest review)
Arden is a traumatized character who's learning her own strength. I love a strong female lead and Arden was everything I hoped for. She is a survivor whos story is simply inspirational. I especially loved the part where the phrase "But for the Mountains" gets defined. Without spoiling anything, "but for the mountains" is my new favorite motivational phrase and I want it on a sticker.
BECK!!! He deserves his own section in this review. I am in love with him. He is everything. As simple as that. I could not get into Declan as he just wouldn't fight or protect Arden the way she needed him to. Beck was there to protect AND build her up. Okay I'm stopping this little bit about the guys because I feel like I could write an essay on these two men.
I saw this as a darker, more exciting version of The Selection. I stayed up until 3am to finish this last night because I was so hooked. The ending was perfect but I need more!!! Will be recommending this one to others in the future!
CONTENT WARNINGS! Should have a page in front dedicated to content warnings due to HEAVY subject matter.
