Excuse me while I go and SOB. I honestly didn't know what I was expecting when I started reading this novella, but I didn't plan on my heart just BREAKING for poor Ryker! His backstory way so beautiful and saddddd (😭), y'all!! It really explained a lot of his actions/feelings in The Heir. I loved getting inside of his head, especially since he explained a lot of different things about Terra (his home planet).
As always with novellas, I never want to spoil anything...so let me just say that if you were #TeamRyker after reading The Heir you NEED to read this book. Seriously. I'm #TeamRyker even more now. 😍😭
Read the book, y'all. Read The Heir first (if you haven't already), and then binge the HECK out of this one.
As far as content goes: No language (that I can remember anyway, lol)! Emma and Ryker do share some intimate moments, but they weren't as passionate as her moments with Shad...so I wouldn't deem them as inappropriate. Ryker makes an observation that "Earthlings" might drink and do drugs to numb themselves from pain. Grief, anxiety, depression, and anger are some of the major feelings that are experienced and talked about. I personally wasn't triggered by any of this, but other readers might be...so please take that into consideration. There was a darker side to the souls/melodies concept, but nothing too dark.
Can we talk about that ending? THAT. ENDING. It snuck up on me so darn fast and just left me wanting even more (which is why I've already started reading Shattered Heir, lol). This novella reallyyyy is a great addition for the series, y'all. And Ryker reallyyyy has my heart...sorry Shad. 😬🙈
