Glow

For more of my reviews, check out my blog.

Well, that book was much longer than it needed to be. That's really my only real complaint here – there was a lot of nothing happening towards the beginning. Of course, some of it was actual character growth, but a good chunk of it was just unnecessary. I guess I also wasn't a huge fan of the additional POVs we get in Glow, either. There's something like 3 or 4 new POVs, that just bulk out the book. I'm not sure they were strictly necessary in getting the main story across.

Other than that, though, I'm still really enjoying The Plated Prisoner series. Auren has grown into a powerful fae, and while I love seeing her and Slade together, I also love watching her come into her own power. It's a lot of fun seeing that growth from what we knew of her in the first book. Slade's backstory was INFINITELY needed, and I'm so glad we get so much of it in this book. I hope we see more of Auren's in the last book, but if we don't, we do get a good chunk of it in Glow. (Mostly I'm hoping we somehow learn more about her parents? Please!)

I really want to see our girl have a girl day – I want to see her surrounded by other women, having fun without a man present. Has that ever happened to her? Has she ever solid female companionship? No? Please give that to her? She deserves it.

Oops, one more complaint, mostly about the end of the book. No real spoilers – hasn't Auren suffered enough!?

I am now desperately waiting for the last book, because this one ends on a DOOZY of a reveal. Docking a couple stars due to the length of this book, and the other complaints I mentioned previously. Still definitely going to continue the series, though.
