IT felt like two books in one, because we get to see Gideon falling in love with Aleron twice. Poor Aleron suffered a lot though, but Gideon did grovel, and did things to make up for all the hurt he caused. I loved Aleron, his innocence and enthusiasm. I liked that Gideon never made him feel less because he didn’t understand things, and defended him when others made him feel bad.

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 :(
