“I would take your heart between my ribs and guard it like my own. Is there any way I can make you believe it?”

For fans of:
  • Queer romance with a dash of magic
  • Arguing for arguments sake 
  • Found family 

What a perfect end to this wonderful series. After finishing ‘A Restless Truth’, I was excited to learn that the final book would follow Jack and Alan. Especially after Alan wormed his way into my heart throughout the course of the second book. And I was not disappointed. 

I adored this book, it really brought me the same joy that I felt when reading the first book back in 2022. Alan and Jack were so perfectly matched for each other romantically, sexually, and in personality. Their arguments, squabbles, and need to pick fights with each other leading to many a wonderful scene.

I also loved the way that the characters and couples from throughout the series (I was very happy to have Robin and Edwin back on the page) came together at last to resolve the overarching conflict. A messy, queer found family trying to save magic while also trying to navigate their own issues and relationships. It just filled me with joy.

I love this series, and this finale was as strong, if not stronger than its beginning.
