I loved Thade and his 4 children Xerrn, Krezz, Flatt, & Yulna in this story and enjoyed seeing how all of them bonded with Alana throughout the story. The relationships between Alana and the 4 children were all so sweet and it was fun watching Thade try to romance her and getting advice on how to date. I look forward to reading and rereading many books about Vaxxlian Warriors and the humans they fall for in the future.
