Strong character development? No
Loveable characters? It's complicated

Check your trigger warnings. I don't mind a check-your-brain-at-the-door book, but this was a bit much. Almost to the point of parody, but then includes a decent amount of heavy stuff. Not for me.

You’ll like this book if you like Ruby Dixon’s books.

It’s not a perfect match for me because I’m not really into fated mates or possessive, controlling men.

I chose this book because I kept seeing it recommended on reddit threads. One thing that’s kind of unique about this book is that Theo is

considered very ugly by the standards of his own society. Not by human standards, however.

I think the writing is good and the setting is interesting. I am going to read more of these books to see how the larger story plays out. I hope Rhaego gets a book.

I couldn't get into this book, the writing could get repetitive and it was pretty slow. The descriptions and writing style didn't click with me but it was a nice, light sci-fi romance. I will try the next one because I like these tropes/stories even if I don't connect with the heroine.

This was a decent read. It was interesting to read about the different world and culture on another planet, and we get a decent amount of that and plot. For me, a better book would have been longer with a lot more info about the new planet she finds herself on, but it was short and sweet, and I didn’t feel as if the author skimped on the details.
