Cillian has lived his life being taught a view of others that is condescending as well as wrong and in turn makes him so. When he finds a life away from his father and his influence things begin to change. He meets Jagher who is a different race yet brings out many emotions in Cillian that are new and enjoyable. The two must find a way to work together and understand that their differences make them better. Cillian has a lot of growing up to do and he must decide if he will follow his heart or let others lead his life for him. It was nice to watch the two work towards a future and see Cillian grow and find himself. Their story is fast paced and has some strong characters that kept me entertained all the way to the end.

Interesting world, need more story!
So far this series has been well written and interesting. The world building is great and I am so intrigued by the different races and cultures. This is not a human and alien story, but alien and alien, which is quite refreshing in this sub genre.
I loved the main characters. Cillian is initially such a privileged jerk; you go from annoyance to pity to actually liking him. And Jagher is his complete opposite, very stoic and reliable.
My complaint - like the first book, this one needed to be longer. There were parts that were glossed over or a little rushed, and there was so much that could have been written. I wanted more on page. Because the world building is so interesting, there could be so much more to these stories. I am glad there is an overarching story through the series.
With all that said - I read this in one sitting because I just had to know what happened next.
I will read the next book and the rest of the series. These books are entertaining enough and I need all the characters' stories.
I don't think these should be read as stand alones, but as part of a series. They basically happen in sequence and each book continues what happened in the previous book.
I recommend this series, especially if you like alien stories!

Well executed, a good formulaic romance that was a nice relaxation read. Nothing stood out, nothing was bad. Worth getting on KU.
