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.

Like the other books in this serious, this is a fun romp. The concept of consent in this world is still incredibly complicated, but I like that Dixon looks at the dark sides of "resonance." Harlow and Rukh are fun protagonists, and I liked the importance of family ties in this book.

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!
