💕 A sweet version that encapsulates all the enchantment of the original story. For anyone who is not a fan of the spice, the Daylight Edition just goes to show you the depth that this story has on its own.
The immense gap between Ollie and Gabe at the start of the book. Ollie’s stiffness and inability to connect with Gabe, despite his growing love for the boy who was destined to be his. Ollie feels the bond, and he’s done everything he can to protect Gabe until the time was right for him to reveal himself. And now that it has, he can’t find a way to make that connection. I love it. The rejection, as he feels Gabe slipping away before he even gets a chance.
Gabe’s pain and loneliness. His lack of a path and a vision for his future. Everything he’s known has been torn from him. His path was never clear, so he floats around with nothing that truly makes him happy. A lost soul. His anger when he’s forcefully removed from his life is epic. His despair at being trapped. When he lands in the demon realm of Sefaera, we see how he slowly grows to love this new place, the people, and the one who is willing to sacrifice it all for him.
This book takes you to a new world, through the suffering and the dangers that lurk behind each corner. To new friendships and a new purpose. To not just accepting the soulmate bond but to choosing it before all else.

Pledge
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Imagine having to convince your soulmate, who barely knows you and thinks you're creepy that there is an unbreakable bond between you. Then, imagine trying to accomplishing that same thing after you tear that person away from everything they’ve ever known by forcefully taking them to another realm.
That’s what Ollie did to Gabe, not thinking of the consequences to them or their future relationship. Were Ollie’s tactics intentionally malicious? Not at all, but unfortunately, Gabe thought they were.
Thus begins Ollie’s education in sensitivity, cause and effect. Even though they share a sacred bond, feeling one another’s pain, emotions and thoughts, Ollie still needed to understand his actions could potentially break Gabe. After a come to Jesus talk from his sister and feeling Gabe’s anxiety, Ollie began to realize what he had done.
For Gabe, he needed to feel safe, and for him, he believed safety meant going back to his old life. A life of privilege but also of loss, confused self identification and unrecognized loneliness.
Pledge is a beautifully written MM fantasy sprinkled with humor, love, and many life lessons. It’s a book about trust, understanding, and how a committed relationship can connect a couple on a spiritual level.
The mental health rep is written expertly and depicted accurately, which is not always the case in most books.
At first, I didn’t like Gabe but as his character developed and he learned to love himself, I loved him too.
Ollie … I liked him from the beginning but even more so at the end.
I’m looking forward to Paragon and Gabe and Ollie’s continuing story.
