Back to the Legends of Storm universe where we follow Dreki Sirius and Drekling Malin.

I think this book does a good job of having Malia and Sirius' relationship take time to form, with having Malin slow to trust Sirius and Sirius battling his urge to be with her to protect his brother.
i think the plot could have been better with some more open communication between them. This by no means has any miscommunication trope.

I also need to give praise to Malin for pulling Andris and Rurik on some stuff. I thought it was good to show that our past main characters are not now perfect after their stories are finished.
