Such a great alien romance series with each book layering and unraveling the world plot as you go. Definitely read from the beginning with book 1. Blue blobs of alien gelatin that forms the perfect mate! Loving the series.
My only complaint is that this particular romance didn't feel complete. It felt like it cut off before things were resolved with Lora and Zhiruto. I get that it stopped where it did so as not to spoil the plot of book 3 but it left this book feeling stunted and unsatisfying for an ending.
I'll continue onto book 3 to reserve my thoughts on if it redeems how book 2 ends/ gives enough information about Lora and Zhiruto for closure. Perhaps, the two girls talk to each other and it all feels more complete then. We'll see.
Edit: read book three, enjoyed book 3 much more and it was more complete, but did not solve the issues I had with book 2 feeling like Lora and Zhiruto's story is unfinished.
