I love this series, is amazing.
One thing I find so intriguing is that each city/land is it's own completely separate entity, and this one is no different. Took me a couple of re-reads to understand these groups physical characteristics, and it's certainly unique, but what I really loved was the metal focus in every part of their life.
Our heroine is fine, it's the hero in this one I really love. I can actually feel his discomfort with his feelings and I love it.
Only thing I wish was that the ending wasn't so rushed. I wanted a bit more married bliss for the two of them.

Rating: 4.8/5⭐
Spice Level: 3.8/5
Tropes: Fated Mates, Forced Proximity, Matriarchal Society, Slow-Burn, Alien Romance, Trust Issues, Marriage of Convenience, Stalking, Dual POV
Alright, this is the best one so far! This series keeps getting better and better. At the end of Resisting Maxu, we know almost everybody escaped capture, except for Sophia who remains captured by Sikthand, a broody warrior king with a tail and massive trust issues.
Sikthand and his council are hoping to use Sophia as a political bargaining chip, but unbeknownst to them at the time, the political upheaval has begun on Clecania, and Sikthand himself is inexplicably obsessed with Sophia.
Sophia is a fantastic character, smart, strong and handles the insanity that is her current situation like a CHAMP. Sikthand does some things that normally would be considered massive red-flags, but understandable due to his past, yet Sophia remains level-headed and lenient with him due to knowing what he's been through. This one felt pretty slow-burn and full of angsty tension, but when it hits, it HITS.
The story itself is fantastic, we get political intrigue, mystery, huge character growth, and advancement of the overarching series' story. Pacing is good, left wanting more of course, but that's the way this entire series has been and I'm here for it.
So yeah, if you read the others, no reason to not read this one! If you haven't read this series, da hell is wrong with you, start reading it already.

OMG new fave
Sikthand was the perfect broken morally grey MMC and Sophia was a great foil. Just so precious together.
Spice: 4/5
Triggers: assassination attempt, captivity, stalking

Emotionally tense
The king was a hard, unyielding alien, so his unraveling was a pleasure to watch. The ending was intensely satisfying.

I stg this lil alien romance might be in my top 10 reads for 2024
I was so close to giving this book 5 stars.
It is my absolute favorite book in this series. The whole plot was amazing! Them getting to know each other, the exploration of a new city and culture on this planet, the politics, it was all that I could ask for
