3.75

Although the start and middle of this book is just as good as it's predecessors, there's something about the latter half that was a bit of a let down.

I loved the backstory to Gloam; finding out, piece by piece, that he's a caring being who can't the situation he's in. It was Adam that I found a little too much.

Additionally, the epilogue for this one felt quite detached from the romance, and Gloam's retelling of his past would have fit better into one of the dialogues, such as when he was explaining things to Aury.

Despite all of this, it was still an adorable read (or reread in my case), and a solid 3.75/5.
