Ari and Saga's story is just beautiful. In each of the main couple's story lines, I love how the author picked a "theme" for each couple and then weaved it into the entire series, giving each couple their own uniqueness while still living in the same universe. This was brilliantly done and helped with avoiding too much "similarity". While my heart belongs to other MMC's in Andrew's two universes, Ari was the first one who actually got me to laugh, out loud, on multiple occasions. I've chuckled many times in my head or lightly through the previous 7 books, but this was a welcomed surprise, as I would not typically call these books humorous. Yet Ari and Saga were an absolute thrill and joy to read. 
 
The author's ability to create new personalities and give each character such grand depth is inspiring, and I believe it leaves her fans a little awe-struck. This story was a marvel, but as expected, was left on a very intense cliffhanger that will turn into the final story in her BK series, and I'm ecstatic to read it.
