I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is the third book in the series. It will make more sense read in order but is possible to be read as a stand alone. There are over arching plot themes through the series but each book is one separate couple. I do appreciate the character name as the title. It makes it nice not to have to hunt to figure out who’s book it is when you’ve been previously introduced to the characters.
This is a fated mates alien romance. It reminds me slightly of Laurann Dohners New Species series in that our heroes were essentially created in a lab and have no traditional family dynamic except this is in space and on the moon which they have colonized. There’s also an element of homegrown terrorism based on prejudice which is also a theme in the New Species series and reverberates in the current times. I very much enjoyed the book. It is really interesting to see the different perspectives within this unique world building set up. The most unusual aspect I feel is that their tech - ships, cities etc is partially biological and therefore can communicate with those that have an affinity for it and express definitive opinions and emotions based on their experiences. In fact one of the cities is enamored with our hero and not terribly understanding when he finds his fated mate.
Trigger warnings - death in childbirth (past), bad/controlling parent, prejudice, sibling death. High steam / open door.
5/5
