I think I liked this more than the first even tho it’s just a novella. I fell in love with Ro the second he was on page in the first book so it was really nice to see his interest was returned the whole time and see him and Tier finally come together.

It’s still a little too kinky for my liking but I adored the cute moments and Tier telling the council that if they can’t accept Ro as his mate that he would step down from the Chief position to be with Ro

We met Rohahen and Tier in the book Hummingbird and Kraken and I love that they get their story told in this book. Ro is a great character that endeared himself to this reader in the previous book and continued to do so in this one. In Hummingbird’s gift we get a deeper look at Ro and Tier. The two are good together and it seems it is only Ro and Tier that cannot see them as a couple. Their story is full of emotions and pulled me right in form the start. I enjoyed getting more of a look at Tier as well. He is a good man that has a lot on his shoulders and tries to keep everyone safe and happy even when it begins to stretch him too thin. Seeing these two find their way made for a beautiful read. The author does a wonderful job of making the reader feel the love that the two share and I hope that this is not the last that we get to see of this world and all the great characters in it.

All the plans I had for the day were completely forgotten when I was approved for this DRC.
I loved this so much!!!
I thought I was fully prepared to have my heart melted by Rohahen but his sweetness exceeded all expectations
Seeing a POC character being written in a non-stereotypical way, a man being physically impressing and not fitting the sick male beauty standard, that equalizes muscles with strength while that is not at all true was such a novelty that it made me sad.
Ro is physically a giant and the way he wants to be seen doesn't always align with that but that is never used as a way to humiliate him or make him feel ashamed of his feelings by others.
I really enjoyed the parallel between transness and the assigned occupations inside the tribe and how differently Native Americans look at gender and societal expectations.
I was rooting for Ro so hard and I loved seeing a man being loved and cherished because of his softness and curves without it being seen as a flaw but as something beautiful and the source of his strength.
The entire story was so, so sweet and I loved all the Native American traditions and culture, the poetry of all those names, and the magic system.
Thank you to Reese Morrison for this DRC.

 I was happy to find out this was just a novella and not a full story.

It perfectly wrapped up their story from the first book and was a beautiful exploration of old and modern traditions and how predermined roles influence us and our decisions.
