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
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.

As an alien romance? Eh. Not really alien. Stronger human dude with markings that look like tattoos but are actually scars.
As a story in general? Yeah, it's alright. It all felt a little .. cliche in a way, a little too obvious, but I overall enjoyed it and would be willing to read more of the series. The writing was good, the characters were okay, the plot was solid.
I'm interested in learning more about life outside of Clecania (being a sci fi nerd interested in aliens in an alien romance) but not sure how much the series will indulge that. Guess I'll find out!
I'm disappointed there isn't a book about Rhaego in the series yet (6 books as of writing this) because he'd be my next obvious choice (being described as looking like a demon but being a romantic sweetheart and all) but looks like it's mostly all the superhuman dudes. That said, I did see on the author's GR page that they DO plan on writing a book about Rhaego eventually so woohoo!

I liked the FMC/MMC and their flaws were definitely the main focus of the book, which I liked. It’s a fated mates book, but that doesn’t actually make up the focus of the book, which I liked because it allowed the characters to get to know each other without knowing their „inevitable“ end.
Theo was at times a bit annoying but that’s part of his charm.
For people who like IPB and want to read that again, but with an evolved society, I think this is a good choice. I think the world building is a bit more in depth than IPB, but it’s also out of necessity since there is more to go on than just 20 lonely aliens in an ice desert.
