For me, of the three books, I rate them in favor from Oz to Gideon to Milo. For narration, they are equally well done. The final chapter is an extended epilogue that looks 7 years into the future, and anchors the already firm HEA.

Gideon is a compelling character who is naturally churlish, but this is exacerbated by a sort of cornered animal emotional context. Spoiler: Yes, he apologizes to Milo. Eli is strong enough and smart enough to be his match, and the kind of good that brings light to others.

A character from another one of her series makes a cameo and that’s fun for long time readers.

Joel Leslie delivers his usual strong performance, managing the multiple accents required by this series with ease.
