The main aim of this instalment seems to be to repair humanity's reputation a little, after our protagonist Liam had to be rescued & protected from his own people in the first 2 books. Maybe it's just me being a bit of a misanthrope but I don't think their case is very convincing, especially since they're still trying to mess with Liam as it's being made. Leave the poor boy alone! (& by boy I mean 40 year-old man, not that you'd know it from the cover art)
Regardless, I could read about these guys negotiating trades, chatting about random things, and soothing each other's anxieties all day long. There's something endlessly satisfying about the way they make themselves understood across cultural barriers, breaking things down into simple truths and rearranging them until they fit.

Things are getting so much more interesting now that Liam and Ondry are travelling the space!
It feels like the story is picking up pace and there could be really interesting twists in the future.

This is a great end to the trilogy but I still want more!! Omg Ondry and Liam are amazing and I'm not going to lie - I want more of them.

It… doesn’t get boring, I’m impressed! My one complaint about this series is the Ondry on that covers is too human-like. Also, I’m happy that we got to know more about Liam’s past in this installment. There was a lot more interaction between humans and rownt and I will say something: the rownt psychology does never get old and it’s really funny how the alien species views humans.
