I mean... it's certainly about pregnancy. That's it. That's the book.
No more chapters from Gron's POV - highly disappointing

i liked this series a lot (i read the 4) but she never got to actually talk with him. there was a lot they could have fixed like the eater cat thing could have protected her with the ML but nooo we had to kill it smh. she could literally understand that thing but not the one she was ment to be with. but it was good, i liked the universe and the characters.

So cute.
Loved this little short story where Ruth and Gron get a baby. I really hope we see this kind of thing for the other couples in the tribe.

I'm now realising how much I hate Ruth. She giggles too much and I just cant with how she does things anymore. I loved these two in book one, I mean I still disliked her a little but not as much as I do now that I've seen others.
Anyway, this should have been a novella not a book four. Thankfully it's on KU, but honestly I wasn't that interested in learning all about her wanting a baby and how she got it. I personally would have preferred more Gandry.
Also I'm still so confused how she cannot learn the Gandry's language or they hers. She now has a child who learned to speak both. It doesn't sound like it's some special thing like a different shaped sound thinggo and they can't make the noises or they wouldn't produce the girls names... I just find it super weird. Also, when he started speaking both why wouldn't you then realise he could translate for everyone? My mind is fried.

1.5 stars
By this point, I was sick of Ruth and Moira but I'm never one to quit a book series. This book didn't make anything better especially since the entire time we are stuck in Ruth's head and we hear nothing from Gron. The 1.5 stars are mainly for Gron and how sweet he is in this book. Also, Moira's willingness to help Ruth made me like her a little more, especially since Ruth seems to be asking a lot of Moira consistently throughout the whole novella. At least the next book deals with a completely different couple. Hopefully, I'll like those characters better

[reread 2021] Still cried at the end. Though this did feel shorter and a little less substantial than the others (and why I gave it 3 stars originally), I’m bumping this to four stars anyway.
[2019] I was waiting for the moment they could communicate, and it happened, and I cried.
