Another excellent book by A.E Bennett! It was a joy to spend more time with Octavia and Gerald - two of my favourite characters from the main Serrulata Saga series - and get more of a glimpse into their early relationship. I can never get enough of Gerald Verte. A kind, considerate gentleman who rails against society’s expectations despite being an outcast himself, who treats his partner like a goddess, and who’s a dynamo in bed - what could be better?
I love the world that Bennett has created with these books, and being back in The Realm felt like slipping on a favourite pair of shoes again. I could read a hundred stories in this setting.
My only criticism is that I wish the time skip towards the end was shorter so I could see more of what happened during that time, as it felt a bit too quick for me, but that might just be me being greedy for more Gerald and Octavia!
