I'm finally around to writing this review, and it's been a while, so I'm going off notes here, so...
I loved this book, but it's my least favourite from what Gibson has released so far. I found myself truly captivated by the plot from the get-go. With talks of occultism, rivalry, tension, and all that slow burning, it seemed like it was going to be a win. But. I found the plot to take more focus on the relationships rather than the demonic plotline that was going on, which isn't bad, it was still done beautifully, I just found myself wanting more from that other plotline, so maybe this could have been a longer book to explore that more? This is a series, so it might explore that more. I don't know, I'm not an author, just a lowley reader.
All of the characters had arcs crafted brilliantly both on their own, and when meshed together (which was so smooth, it was satisfying AF to read).
I adored the world building, and some of these spaces in which scenes took place made me yearn to be there!
All in all, though, just such a great read that shines a light on polyamourous relationships that I haven't seen before, and has you remembering the importance of communication, being open, and trustworthy.
