5.0

While the setting and situations are similar, it is amazing how Ruby Dixon can make each book and its characters stand out. I personally enjoyed Aehako and Kira more than Raahosh and Liz. If you have triggers for infertility, though, this may not be the book for you. 

I love how Aehako is totally smitten with Kira without needing to resonate to her. I love his happy and dedicated personality. 

I liked Kira because I could relate to her more quiet and reserved personality. 

Plot-wise I enjoyed getting to see and learn more about the old space ship that the sakh aliens crashed on. I liked the action that picked up toward the end with
the Little Green Men returning
. I'm looking forward to finding out more about the world and the aliens in future books.

I liked this one!! I liked these characters and their relationship much more than Liz and Rahoshs and they are currently my favorite couple so far. I loved the positivity and the curiosity and the adventure and the bravery. I liked that this male was so much nicer as well.
