Welp, I really liked this too. Guess I'm about to work my way through the whole series? Also this one was way lighter than the first book.
Maybe more to come later, maybe not, but what I really liked about this one was the way it explored the fated mates trope: how does Liz, who is used to having choice in these matters (i.e. whom she wants in her bed and in her life as a partner), still maintain agency when that choice is made for her? Also the way both Raahosh and Liz were stubborn and independent, but learned to love that about each other and build a relationship on mutual respect.
Also LOVED the mutual masturbation scene and in general the explorations of physical activity beyond penetrative sex!
