Oh, hello I love the additions that the author made to this novella! (I originally read it when it was included in an anthology.)

I really enjoyed getting more back story for Maladek and Katie. Katie is such an exciting addition to this universe because she is proof that humans are out and about in the greater universe as well (which gives a lot of room to experiment with later on if the author choose to.)

And Maladek is such a swoony character- I mean look at this:

"My mate who is loved throughout the universe- you have more family than you know. And to me, you are everything. You're my whole universe, Katie."

I hope we get to see them again later on in the series.
