I thoroughly loved this book! Aidy and Corvak were such a breath of fresh air. I loved seeing them get to know and come to depend on each other. Ruby masterfully played up the survival aspects of this book, to the point that I seriously wondered at points if the main characters would survive the night, despite knowing there was a guaranteed HEA. I thought Corvak’s plan for winning the “challenge” he thinks he’s in was ingenious, and Aidy’s
khui-gifted language abilities
were an interesting (and much needed) addition to the ice planet resource bank. I’ve always been fascinated by the metlaks, and we get to see a lot more of them in this book. They are both more complex than we’ve seen before and just as gross and violent as ever. I loved this expansion to the lore. 

This book also did a nice job of teasing April and Valmir’s story, which I assume is up next. I can’t wait!
