Ugh. Riftan is such a well written character. I understand his motives and I don’t think he’s a bad person. But GOD is it infuriating watching our poor Maxi do her best to speak for herself and he just shoots her down and holds her back. I hate him but at the same time I don’t. From his perspective he’s protecting a sheltered, weak woman from the cold harsh world he’s endured. hate that I can’t hate him completely because his intentions are so obviously from a place of love, albeit problematic.
