Two Who Live On

Since I read this ARC last year, it made it to my top books of 2023. I loved that this book highlighted how Dorian and Milo's relationship has grown since Dorian's decision to embrace a future with MIlo at the end of Three Meant to Be. I liked Dorian's expanding power and how his magic linked to Milo's, and we were able to get more insight into what Milo does as an enchanter. Dorian's homeroom coven brings a bit of comedy into the book, which balances out the darkness of the case that Milo is investigating.

This book directly addresses what happened to Finn and delves into how Dorian and Finn met Milo. This book develops the world more, and we learn more about wisps, fiends, demonic energy, and demons. I also liked the showcase competition for the students because I loved the journey of Dorian's students.

I was happy that Dorian took the step to kiss Milo at a large public event to show Milo that he did not want to hide their relationship.

I'm anxiously waiting for book 3 because of the cliffhanger ending. It's an interesting plot twist is all I can say.

Thank you to MN Bennet for the ARC copy, and this is my honest review.
