Allegiance of Honor is the 15th book in the Psy/Changeling series by Nalini Singh. This book has 
partly to do with the characters of past books, almost everyone makes an appearance. Although there is a current threat in the story, a lot of the book's focus is on past characters and how they're doing in their friend and romantic relationships. Sascha and Luca's cub is in danger, there's a group  of people rumored to be targeting their baby and they have to do everything they can to protect her and other members of the pack.

This story was was 50% catching up with past characters, and the other 50% was dealing with the current threat in the books. It was nice to see how the characters in their relationships progressed but it seemed like these parts were dragging on. We also got to see a few
pregnancies in action
. There were so many characters to address in this final Psy/Changeling novel that it was a bit hard to keep up with who was who, even though I started this series just about one year ago. 

The spicy scenes were okay, we got several spicy scenes of characters in different relationships but it was just okay. I would have liked to stay with a specific couple and read their spicy scenes instead of switching couples for every scene. I'm giving it two chilies 🌶️🌶️ out of five chilies

Overall, Allegiance of Honor was just okay, there were interesting parts and some not so interesting parts. This was a novel to wrap up character relationships and situations to end the series. We all know now in 2024 that there is a follow up series, one that I'm excited to start soon. I'm giving this book 3.75 stars out of 5. 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3.75/5 Stars

I listened to this for free on the library app [HooplaDigital.com]

This was a meandering sort of super long epilogue to the first part of the Psy Changeling books. There really is no point reading this if you haven’t read the rest of the series and at the same time, this is definitely one for the fans. I don’t quite consider it essential reading unless you’ve been following this series closely to this point and then of course you’d want this close out book. 

This book is set within the new context of the post-conflict l Psy-Changeling-Human Trinity, trying to restore peace and collaboration to the earth but facing sabotage from members of the shadow organization, the Consortium as well. In this novel, we feature Ming LeBon as a big bad along with the Consortium and their allies and there is also a mystery to solve with the water Changeling who was kidnapped and tortured in the previous book. We get to spend a lot of time with our favourite couples and their families and to catch up and see what they’re doing.

For me, this was just a little too long and dragged a little but overall I enjoyed this in all its somewhat self-indulgent glory. CWs for kidnapping, torture and violence. This is still a really great book for tying up all the loose ends from series 1 of the show.
