As always, this was a fun, smutty popcorn type of book. I really enjoyed both of our protagonists and how the whole pregnancy question was answered (it’s nice to know that the baby human/Sa’Khui’s horns won’t literally rip the mother apart). The only thing I didn’t like was the actual giving birth part because birth and pregnancy just give me the ick. Otherwise, this was a great installment in this series.

Harlow & Rukh’s story. An interesting twist on the previous books since Rukh grew up on his own and didn't have language. I loved the description of their kit!

I'm not crazy about Hollie Jackson's narration - it's too aggressive/pushy for my taste. But Mason Lloyd is doing a great job with the 'barbarians.'

I loved Harlow and Rukh's story! It had a lot of elements that I adored in [b:Transcendence|20504754|Transcendence (Transcendence, #1)|Shay Savage|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1391320052l/20504754._SY75_.jpg|34802286] by Shay Savage. I loved that Rukh was a super wild caveman and the two had a language barrier to overcome - but that Ruby Dixon didn't make me sit through every agonising minute of learning a new language.

We also got to see a lot more of the planet and what it might hold!

My main problem with this is that Harlow didn't feel like the Harlow we got to know in previous books. In those books she felt like a badass mechanical engineer but she feels like a different character entirely here. Granted, she's spending a lot of time in a cave, but the characterisation felt off.
