smuttymcbookface's review against another edition

- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
4.0
One of my favourites from the series. Rukh is sweet, Harlow is strong and consistently optimistic. The drama near the end felt a little fabricated, but I don't mind.
Graphic: Pregnancy, Kidnapping, and Sexual content
Moderate: Terminal illness, Child abuse, Grief, and Death of parent

Ruby Dixon is not getting into heaven.
She refers to a newborn infant's genitals with the same descriptors and vocabulary as she does adult genitals during sex scenes.Rukh mentions looking at his newborn son's 'cock' and seeing it also has a 'spur' She makes circumcision jokes. She yet again has characters consider themselves failures for their bodies being unable to support a pregnancy. Also the offensive plot of soft human girl being taken by the 'savage barbarian' who she eventually makes civilized is... so awful.
It is not worth commenting on other aspects of the plot as the stuff above is reason enough to NEVER bother with this.
