What. The. Heck. Just. Happened.
I am utterly speechless at the conclusion of this book. So much has happened in the last 100 pages and I don't know how to feel.
This is the longest one so far in the series, and there was a few parts that I struggled to get through and I really had to push myself to keep reading through the slow bits, but that conclusion made the book for me. I am glad that there is more spice now, and that we get to see more of our lovely couple together and happy for a change. Until everything starts to go to sh*t. I literally cannot wait to finish this series, and I'm so glad that I decided to start it a few months before the last book is released. (07/2024)

I cannot even fathom finishing this, especially with the random inclusions of Rissa and whoever that dude is cause that could be a whole novella but the three chapters is just Auren and Slade 2.0.
Also, the disrespect towards sex workers is a no go because we love sex workers on this page xoxo

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.

man this book is did an excellent job of working through characters’ trauma, doing more digging into who they are, and overall healing for Auren after all she’s been through.
There was a lot of shit that didn’t need to be in this book, the Osrik and Rissa stuff was such a waste of time (if you’re gonna do them, do them right? Don’t just do two chapters and expect me to give a shit about them when we could be spending more time with Auren and Slade? Stupid), and I find this author likes to be veeeerryy wordy and flowery, taking multiple paragraphs to make the same point in different metaphorical ways which also wastes my damn time. Also the pacing felt very all over the place, and that made pushing through this brick of a book a bit of a challenge.
that being said, the plot was enjoyable and exciting, the smut is absolutely filthy in the best way, and I still love my babies Auren and Slade.
