What a wonderful installment in this feel-good, light-hearted, magic-packed series. "Harbor" was precisely what I needed!

I've always been a huge fan of redemption arcs, and Tybalt was always the kind of character that absolutely deserved one: you could already see he was hiding depth and a vulnerable heart behind his flirty, no-thoughts-just-sex façade.
I loved him, and Orestes, so much! Orestes is a huge (literally!) sweetheart, a gentle giant with an equally vulnerable side and so much gentleness and kindness and strength he made me want to weep. Tybalt was the perfect counterpart to Orestes: he's flirty and quick-witted, quietly clever with hidden strength and resilience. He was absolutely lovely, and I loved seeing him slowly regain his confidence thanks to Orestes's brand of care and love.
The plot was fabulous, the side characters equally so (are we getting Mercutio's story? I HOPE SO) and I adored the world-building as usual.
The only thing that was missing was a chance for Paris and the others to meet up with this new and improved version of Tybalt. I would have loved to see them together on scene once again.

I wholly recommend this series!

TWs/CWs: death of a parent, grief, child abuse and emotional abuse, child mistreatment, homophobia.


Many thanks to the authors for the ARC. This is my honest review.
