Finally, a gay romance. I was waiting for this.
I think Aleron might actually be the biggest sweetheart of them all. He's very playful and almost child-like. I love that it showcases a Mavka who is not as developed and needs to learn more about the world and even themselves. For everyone before, it felt that even if they weren't as developed before, at the beginning of their story they would suddenly get an influx of intelligence and humanity.
The story seems to move both fast and slow at the same time. When you get at around half the book, they're already together, and you feel like it's gone too fast and what else is there to happen in the other half. Without spoiling too much, there is a twist and Aleron needs to win Gideon back, using everything Gideon thought him at the beginning, in Tenebris.
They both help each other and learn together, as well as heal each other. It's actually surprisingly sweet, and there are a lot of heartfelt and funny moments. I love how Gideon taught Aleron what sarcasm is, and honestly, when Aleron does it, he's way funnier. They are a good match.
