I’m kind of biased, because I love anxiety books, but I really liked this one. It had the magic from the earlier books in the series. I’m so glad Ms. Dixon gave Ariana a story.
Ariana is judged by the others (especially the other humans). I never was bothered by her in earlier books or this one. But I also understood Asha as a character more than the others perceived her. Ariana’s reaction is very natural to me. Now, I do have anxiety, so maybe I’m blinded by empathy, but I got her. And I’m so glad Ms. Dixon addressed medication and that anxiety is a constant struggle.
Zolaya may be a new favorite. He is just so nice and understanding. We stan a supportive partner in this household.
Normally, I’m not a huge fan of flashback stories, but this one worked. Maybe that’s because Ms. Dixon wrote a decent amount in the present day. I especially liked their son. He was adorable. I loved his interactions with Ariana. And now I require books about the kids. That better happen.
Thanks for watching!
