This was a very unique feral-for-my-fated-mate alien romance story. Because our heroine had a lot of boundaries and their love language was all about respect.

The couple was great and the story was satisfying. The only reason why this gets a four and not a five is that I irrationally prefer the introductions to plotlines over the wrapping-up of plotlines. Why? I have no idea.

But the overarching plot of this series (and the Virgin Warriors of Kar’Kal too) has been so compelling. From ethnic cleansing and multi-generational refugee aliens living in exile, to the perpetrators of that ethnic cleansing becoming victims of a g-cide themselves, to trying to rebuild a society—it’s been a lot. Super compelling (and way more politically relevant than it should be).
