 Aehako is my favorite MMC in this world so far! However, the entire reason this book lost a star was because of how it ended.

Kira, our FMC is infertile. That's basically not a problem anymore at the end of the book because of the resonance, which gives me the big ick. I didn't like the message of her not being "broken" anymore. I don't think the author meant for that message to be the takeaway, and it was probably for the sake of the HEA/world plot, but the result is the same. It would've been stronger had there been no pregnancy involved.

Another fun, quick read, with plenty of spice and a great pairing. Some of the challenging narrative aspects—especially action—are rushed and awkward, which did diminish the overall quality of the writing and story. However, the romance in this one is especially sweet: it was less fated mates and more friends to lovers, which I absolutely vibe with. I enjoyed seeing Kira and Aehako's relationship blossom, with them choosing each other first. I admit I hoped that the ending would go in a different direction, but the series is what it is, and I don't fault the books for that. Even if some of the content ultimately doesn't line up with my preferences or values, I can still appreciate them for what they are—lightheaded, steamy romps.

Kira's story is my favorite in the series so far. This one was the most high-stakes out of the first three books and I loved every second of it! According to the author's note, this was the first book of the series that wasn't serialized, and it shows. The story had great movement without feeling repetitive like the previous books sometimes do. AND we're introduced to a new mystery that I'm excited to read about in future books!
