This series is a league of its own. I love Kennedy’s writing style & world building. She’s just descriptive enough to not droll on with certain details, she really paints a picture with her with her words along the way. 

Plot line, immaculate, character development, immaculate, a series that will make you laugh, cry, blush, empathize… you name it, this series will have you feeling it at some point. 

I’ll leave spoilers out but a few things:

It just keeps getting better, every book. I don’t know how she does it. Gleam has a really special spot in my heart, but I loved the multiple perspectives throughout Glow. (Even when I wanted more auren and slade, only flipping the next chapter to be a kaila or malina bit 😂)

Key tropes throughout the series: Enemies to Lovers, Slow Burn (Although damn we heated up in this one), Touch her and you die, Dark Magic, Fae & Folklore Retelling. 

These have quickly become a new favorite of mine, counting the days until June for Gold’s release 🥹🥰😍
