WHEW!! I want my own Duskwalker! 😂😭


MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW 


I loved watching Gideon and Aleron's relationship blossom so sweetly there in Tenebris, and their further adventures as they worked to get back topside together. 

But DAYUM did I wanna kick Gideon in the nuts after he lost his memories and then treated Aleron so horribly!! And poor, sweet Aleron was totally lost.... I will admit that watching Gideon fall back in love with Aleron was a sweet, steamy ride! 

I can't wait for more books in this series, not just for the new stories, but also because I want to see how all my fave couples are doing!

although we definitely needed a aleron and gideon book for this series (specifically with them i wouldnt take any other mmcs) i do believe that i read however many pages and almost 7hrs worth of fluff.
now HOLD UP. HOLD THE PHONE! I AM NORMALLY AN OPAL REYNE DEFENDER FIRST AND HUMAN SECOND however- everything but the chacters relationship felt ....weird. the pacing was off despite the potentially for really cool mirrored plot, some throwback characters didn't feel right (cough orpheus and reia cough),  and there was just a distinct lack of world building that mattered for long freaking long it was?
like i definitely still enjoyed my time at the australian duskwalker truthers exhibition, but also i felt like there was nothing to deeper engage with in this bad boy :(

Thoroughly enjoyed. Breath of fresh air from the rest of the series. Would have been 5 stars but was quite long and the
re-falling in love
plot point was  frustrating for me.
