GLOW

SPOILERS

You’ve been warned. Sorry this is so long, but the book was 700 pages so 🤷‍♀️

.

Starting from Kaila’s pov. Really? After that ending? Here we go.

Poor Slade :(

Okay so Slade and Ryatt’s dad is a dick. Going back for one last group of Oreans when they don’t even like them and then choosing an Orean to be his wife. I feel like he used her for breeding but I’m also confused as to why if they look down on Oreans so much. He started in Annwyn and was born after the bridge was destroyed so how did he and his brother get to Orea?

Why does Slade age 8 keep scratching at his arms??? Is his power starting to emerge??

The answer is yes. His power was starting to emerge. Safe to say Slade has a protective nature. His poor mama 😭😭😭

Slade: “Wake up and argue with me, Goldfinch” Awww ❤️❤️❤️ My heart. This reminds me of a line from the book/movie The Choice. I love it!

Awww Judd brought Hojat. 😊😊

LOL, Os and Rissa. This is going to be so good. I wonder how long before they’re making out.

Yay, she’s awake!!! 🥳🥳🥳

God, every time he calls her baby it hits my heart hard, and for some reason makes me think of the movie The Choice

I want them to talk so bad, but she should be able to live in avoid it land for a little while, before she goes digging through all that pain again.

LOL she can’t cook. 🤣🤣🤣

Awww Digby. Of course he’d be the one she couldn’t lie to about being fine.

Oh my god, I hope bringing Poppy with her was worth it, because she’s kind of being a bitch to Rissa. I’m loving Rissa and Os though. He put their tents next to each other 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️

Awww Digby stayed just for her! This book is putting my heart through the ringer.

Slade: “Absolutely fucking not” 😍😍😍

So she’s been able to choose solid gold or flowy gold. I’m starting to wonder if not being able to use it at night is a subconscious choice that she’s unaware of. - I was half right. She can’t gild new things, but she can manipulate what she’s already gilded. Can she remove it at night though? 🤔🤔🤔

Why is Malina so special? I’m still so unclear on her story, but I’m also very curious to figure it out. Why her? She already had a kingdom, but no magic so how can she be the one destined to save Seventh Kingdom? - After finishing the book, now I know. I don’t want to call her a dumbs because I feel a little sorry for her but maybe naive is a better description.

Did Slade somehow tear open a new bridge between worlds? Is that why they call him Rip? Is that how they got there? How he finally got his mother and brother away from their father? Why does Ryatt not want him there? - Okay so confirmed he ripped open a doorway and that’s how they got there, but no one has come through since and no has gone back. 🤔🤔🤔

Damn. The second Elore said 11 years I was like Ryatt isn’t Stanton’s son, he’s Jaks’ and I was right.

Digby: “Don’t speak about my lady in that tone.” Oh damn! Look at Digby channeling Azriel. This line makes me so giddy 😊😊😊💕💕💕

Yay!!! She can control the gold!!!

Okay, I’m on Chapter 44 from Queen Malina’s POV and she’s describing the castle and how she never sees anyone else, but there’s always food, water for a bath, and her bed is always made. This is giving me major she was lured there so she could be sacrificed vibes. I’m hoping that’s not the case, but that’s what I’m feeling. Lets go find out.

Okay, I don’t know exactly how the magic of this world works. What the twins are saying seems possible, but anytime there’s a blood sacrifice and someone says ‘Don’t worry, it’s only a few drops of blood.’ I go on high alert and get super suspicious. Like it feels too much like a coincidence that to restore Seventh Kingdom they need a few drops of blood from a pure Orean royal. Let’s find out if I’m right.

Now the assassin who is supposed to kill her is warning her that things in the castle aren’t right. I’m curious why he doesn’t just kill her. I mean that’s what he’s there for. Why not get it over with? And what are the twins and Pruinn really trying to do? Are they trying to return Seventh Kingdom to glory? Are they trying to reopen the bridge to Annwyn?

They keep saying she’s smart, but every time she’s on the path to getting what she wants it’s like she’s got blinders on to anything that will take that away. I want to feel bad for her, but she’s so focused on getting “what she deserves” that she believes what she’s being told without question.

Oh my goodness. All this talk of tight pants has me thinking about Firefly when Kaylee calls Mal Cap’n Tight Pants 🤣🤣🤣 If you know, you know. 😉

He pinched her ass!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I feel like Queen Kaila and Manu are using the Conflux as an excuse to get Auren and either imprison her or kill her so she can’t “steal” anyone else’s power. I also feel like it’s an excuse to try and get rid of Slade too.

Lol Argo likes cookies, and he let her pet him! 😊❤️

NOOOOO!!!! RISSAAAAAAAA!!!! How are she and Os supposed to get together if she’s DEAD?! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Manu you fucking asshole. I liked you so much to begin with, but now you have to go on the shit list. You also just made the biggest mistake of your life.

Damn! Os took off so fast. Poor Os 😭

Okay, so Rissa is only mostly dead. Way to bury the lead Hojat.

The guard killed her and then slit his throat. That’s the lamest theory. If that was his plan why was he so far away from her?

I really hope Rissa makes it.

Oh, he’s pissed. They’re in so much trouble.

This Second Kingdom Queen is a bit cray cray in my opinion. 😳😳

Poor Slade 😭😭

NOOOOO!!! ARGOOOOOOO!!!! I hope Slade doesn’t rot him or leave him there 😭😭😭

Ummm excuse me? Queen bitch can do what now? She can change what people said with her power? That’s bullshit.

OH MY FUCKING GOD

That was a roller coaster there at the end. I really thought she was going to die. Then I thought Slade was going to get her out. Then he couldn’t get through the shield and I thought he was going to have to watch her die. Then he ripped open the world again and they had to say goodbye for now. Then Slade and Ryatt went to Deadwell only to find out that the people and rip are gone. HOLY FUCK 😳😳😳🤯🤯🤯😵😵😵💀💀💀

Then we’ve got Malina so rapped up in herself that she helps these guys restore the bridge between realms which is good and bad. Bad because it sounds like the Fae want to conquer Orea. Why? Weren’t they the ones who destroyed the bridge in the first place? Good because it means Auren could find her way back or Slade could find his way to her in Annwyn.

You know what we DON’T know though? IF RISSA MADE IT THROUGH SURGERY!! 😡😡😡😭😭😭

I thought this was the last book, but APPARENTLY NOT. I guess there’s supposed to be one or two more books. I don’t know if my heart and feels can take two more books. This one was a lot.
