There were new POVs I did not expect but I enjoyed and they were appropriately sprinkled around the book but they don't overwhelm the POV chapters of Auren and Slade, those extra POVs are integral to the plot and there's a new romance on the horizon. Auren must face the consequences of murdering a King. A King with a golden touch is found dead leaving a Kingless kingdom and the Rot King stole away his gold-touched favored whose hands are drenched in royal blood.

Many revelations and secrets begin to surface. The game has changed and many wicked plans are at play.

GLOW resumes right from the explosive ending of Gleam and begins in a shroud of extreme dread within the first quarter of the book that will keep a tight hold on your heart. Raven continues to craft such an exceptional story that skillfully navigates through healing, trauma, depression and empowerment while gifting us with such a beautiful romance and an intriguing political overarching plot. GLOW was nothing short of devastatingly emotional, powerfully evocative and exquisitely filthy. I don't think I have the right words to convey the magnitude of the emotional suffering and joy this book had caused me and I wouldn't have had it in any other way.
