I enjoyed Rukh and Harlow’s story of two people who have been abandoned finding solace and family in each other in isolation. Rukh’s “Mowgli/Tarzan” vibe was not necessarily for me but I loved how the author wrote it to be for Harlow, who’s battling her own fears and demons around her inoperable brain tumor and her constant fears her cancer is back despite the healing effect of the khui. I think this was a good story of introverted hermits finding that community and family is not that bad after all. TW: cancer, abandonment, neglect, and pregnancy complications.

This book is my second favorite of the ones I have read so far. I thought the romance and relationship was great, but the second half of the book dragged, and there was a little bit of a misunderstanding trope that dragged things out longer than they needed to be.

 A fine installment, but I think there was a lot of potential in this premise, and I was hoping for a little more out of it and didn't get it. (Yes, I know this is IPB.) Just didn't enjoy it as much as the first three, but that certainly won't stop me from continuing!
