never stop, Aveline

These books are amazing and I wish she was writing them faster. Other alien romances disappoint because they are not Clecanian romances. Never stop, Alveline!

*giggles* yes 

DID I FINISH THIS SERIES IN A WEEK? YES I DID. Now im not sure what i want to do with my life!

“My life has been…wrought. Each day is filled with dread and suspicion and fixation.” He glanced at the floor, his brows knitting. “She brings me silence.” Sikthand swallowed down the tightness in his throat. “The clouds are not so heavy when she’s near.”

She was inevitable. If he’d ever had any power, it was hers now. He was hers now.

Sikthand is my mate. Initially, when her mind had really taken that fact in, her stomach had exploded with heart-shaped confetti.

He didn’t understand this. Didn’t know what she was doing, but her soft lips kneading his was the loveliest paralytic.

I’ve memorized it all so I know exactly where to find you when the pressure in my chest threatens to crush me.

Annnnnd we're back, baby! The previous book, resisting Maxu, had fallen short for me compared to the rest in the series, so I'm really glad this one worked out and was on par with the others! Great FMC and slow burn. World building continues to be fun. 

Thank god for a double epilogue.

The burn. The ANGST. Sikthand is my new favorite Clecanian. The ultimate grump but softy at heart. Vulnerable without being cringy and lovable without being sappy or predictable. Sophia is strong and levelheaded and doesn’t make dumb decisions.

The politics in this book is amazingly well written and progress the over-arching story without overshadowing Sophia and Sikthand’s story. We see cameos from characters from the previous books, although most of our focus is on the people of Vrulatica. The fanart for Vrulatica, Sophia and Sikthand are going to be EPIC. I can’t wait.

While Choosing Theo will always be my fave Clecanian book - this one pushed to #2. Amazing amazing. I can’t say enough great things.

This is a slooooow burn compared to her other series but it HITS when it finally comes

Extremely enjoyable. Very different. Can be read stand alone. I really love the dual POV chapters, don’t know why it’s not 5 stars for me 

I really enjoyed this one!

My favourite book of the Clecanian series! Loved both main characters and the plot. Stephen Dexter was a talented narrator - wish I’d found the audiobooks for this series earlier!
