I found this a little more dull than the others in this series, but still enjoyable.

I don’t think Birdmen are for me but I’m still such a huge fan of Abel’s writing style and world building.

Another stellar book in the series! Midnight blue feathers and starry constellation eyes? sign me the fuck up. It doesn't hurt that our 'birdman' Dakas was very sweet and an empath.

I enjoyed Luana a lot - a latina woman yearning for knowledge and the opportunity to learn and grow beyond what her backwater colony allows. Some times coming off as timid but actually being kickass and having the emotional and mental strength to take on an absurd sequence of events. I really appreciated that her kickassery was paired with a softer side and compassion and that the story acknowledges that she Went Through Some Shit and Needed An Emotional Release, ya'll.

There wasn't quite as much cool stuff about the planet and species in this one due to covering a third species. Instead, there was slightly more emphasis on political machinations both locally and galactically. It was interesting hearing about the specific rules around sharing technology with species that haven't achieved interstellar travel (and the loopholes the UPO and our beloved OG birdman Kayog finds to get around them).

It's not the best but I wasn't mad about this addition to the series. I liked the first half but then the conflict between the two species comes to a peak and I wasn't invested at all. Dakas aka Mr. Birdman with his low-key telepathic abilities was a great guy but I didn't care much about the relationship between him and Luana nor did I care much about the world they live in. There were some funny moments arising from the fact that the main guy is a bird alien/human hybrid, but for a romance, it was just fine.
