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 :(

A breath of fresh air after Ingram and Emerie's very intense book. It took me so long to go through the last Duskwalker Bride book but this took hardly any time at all. did I wish it was a little shorter, hell yeah, but I also adore this series and really grew to love Aleron. Reading his story reminded me of how I felt reading Magnar and Delora's story.

I really loved this couple! Honestly I thought their time in void-dad’s stomach was interesting, but the real story begins when they return to not Australia. I personally loved the

forgotten memories

trope because I think it made a lot of sense and fit well. I think they’re relationship is even stronger than it was before the

memory loss

. Aleron is so sweet and patient.

This is definitely a more couple-focused compared to the previous installments, which add a lot more building. I was hoping to found out the status of the demon king.

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.
