whilst some old questions were answered, so many new ones emerged. we learned a lot about slade's powers but i was confused about
the sex scenes were very...creative! ngl there was a major tone shift whenever they arose. gone was the fantasy feel, and in came the real-world 21st century porn script. still hot though. very funny too.
glow is a book where you have to just along with the plot. i'm so invested in the series at this point.

One of the things I enjoyed most about this book was that we got to learn so much more about Slade and his past. A lot of his past thus far has been left a mystery and I really like that we, and Auren, got to learn so much more about him. It was nice that Auren and Slade both acknowledged that they don’t really know much about each other. They are for the most part (very well acquainted) strangers, especially since Auren was still learning so much about herself and who she is after years of abuse. Auren’s journey of self-discovery and acceptance throughout this book and how it was mirrored by her use and acceptance of her powers was great to finally see after several books of her experiencing a lot of abuse and self-doubt. <i>Glow</i> was very much a transitional book, but even with this obstacle, Raven Kennedy still found a way to provide a compelling narrative that served a purpose to the characters.
I usually am not a huge fan of the random POVs from minor side characters that happen throughout the book. I will be fully engaged in the main storyline until the chapter ends and I am forced into the head of a character that I don’t really care about. Despite my dislike of POV jumping, I really enjoyed the blossoming romance between
Overall, I really enjoyed this sequel and cannot wait to read the next installment.
