not as strong as glint, or gleam, however i still had a fun time reading. the plot was very slow and huge portion of glow could be considered filler. but i think that we're provided with a very in-depth character study for slade, who i've been desperate to know more about, and auren.

whilst some old questions were answered, so many new ones emerged. we learned a lot about slade's powers but i was confused about
about the actual magic and physics lore of orea, bc it seems very sudden that slade can now rip holes in dimensions across time/from orea to annwyn. now that the bridge is restored, i'm predicting his father will reappear in gold???


the sex scenes were very...creative! ngl there was a major tone shift whenever they arose. gone was the fantasy feel, and in came the real-world 21st century porn script. still hot though. very funny too.
although, i'm not sure if the dom/sub, rough sex undertones really work in a narrative that highlights auren's recovery from an abusive relationship idk. food for thought


glow is a book where you have to just along with the plot. i'm so invested in the series at this point.
