My first venture out of orc romances into different sci-fi type creatures and honestly I enjoyed it. It moved really quickly, there really wasn't any conflict between the two main characters of Rihanna and Zatruk and it was an interesting world they were on. The world had a mix of super advanced technology and some more archaic rules and architecture but the imagery was good without being overwhelming. It was a super easy, quick but nice read.
At times it felt like there was more focus on the world/society they were trying to build than on the details of Rihanna and Zatruk's relationship. I wanted to see more of those little moments that bonded them and showed them getting to know each other but that's just a personal preference. I liked the other characters that were involved in the story and how the different species interacted and figured each other out to work towards something that would benefit them all. Side note, I ended up loving Wonjin bless him, we really got to see different sides to him through both the FMC and MMCs points of view which I loved.

Another delightful installment in this series. I do wish more of the story focused on Zatruk and Rihanna's relationship and less on the other colonies and characters. But it was fun seeing Dakas and Luana again!

Another adorable installation in this series. I love that, despite all the men being cinnamon roles for their chosen one, they have very different personalities. And I appreciate that all the women chosen are strong in different ways.
My main gripe with this one was I found some of the plot regarding the construction and negotiations a bit dull.
