Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

One thing we can't say about Amanda Milo is that her booka open on a yawn. The hell they do. First lines always be reeling me in like the fish I am. This one was no different.

Between you and me, cyborg mermen are the ideal partners. My goodness. Ahem...🤗😍

Plot/Storyline/Themes:
To be grieving in such a precarious position where you as valuable and as powerless as the cattle on your ranch is heartbreaking. But Stella and C'veat make it, I would throw hands if thwy didn't gwt their Happily Ever After for now

Two Sentences, A Scene or less - Characters:

C'vest is a good dude. He's a real good dude. (Okay I'm channelling Gina Linetti confetti sphagetti, B99 season 1)

Baron as experienced through C'vets memory is someone I'd have loved to shoot the breeze with and hang out. We love a good man.

Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Scene:

✔️C'veat using Extrasensory gorce to access the pleasure center of Stella's brain and sharing her minds scenes, seeing what she sees in her thoughts. Let the pleasuring begin I guess.

Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Quotes:
🖤 “Aren’t you going to eat?” Stella asks, with acid pooling just under every syllable.
“I’ve grave concerns that you’ve poisoned my portions, but I thank you for the offer.”
To my surprise, Stella barks a “Ha!”
Just one startled shout, not a laugh. The areas for dark amusement are on low-level light in her head though..”
(just a normal dinner between newlyweds ...lol no)

Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Concepts:
■ Yonderin: electroreceptors, extrasensory force
■Ruby Red Jeren
■ Prostethics Representation: Cyborg Legs
