This took a bit of a different turn than the other of the series. It starts out later than the other two books and gives a bit of a glimpse into the lives of the main characters of the first two books after their epilogues. I liked that, and tbh wanted more of it than this book gave me.
The dynamics between these main characters is very different as well - not only because a different kind of alien is involved, but also because they are kinky, as in having a D/s dynamic. They are just as horny, though.
The plot this time around was very flimsy and transparent, and to me was the most boring out of all the books.
I also admit I was a bit bored by how every single different in human and alien physiology was pretty much instantly solved with "bionanotechnology". I would have much preferred them to work it out themselves without overpowered SciFi tech.
There was a cool side character introduced, but nothing was done with them.
Grammar was once again better than in the first book, but I also once again was driven mad by the slow pace of the characters' thoughts. I ended up skimming a lot of the book.
Save to say I do not vibe with the author's writing style, which is a shame because I liked some of the worldbuilding and plot ideas in this series.
