This was my favorite story in the Psy-changling world BY FAR. It may have been shorter, but it packed a punch. I shed a few tears and really hope I'll be seeing more of Stephan and Tazia in the future.

This was very different from the first two books - it's a human and Psy pairing for one, which really changed the dynamic. Not a mating situation but two people who've worked side by side for years. In addition, the Psy was a man for the first time and I don't know why, but for me that really changed the feel. And, significantly, there is no sex until basically the end and, for me, the way the fell in love without the sexual interactions was even better.

I loved the characters and the depth of their experience and growth, despite being a shorter story. I fell hard for them both and I will be very sad if we don't get more of them down the line.

I am so glad I was able to listen to this story, as Angela Dawe always does an incredible job bringing stories to life. She probably added a lot to my love of both these characters.

I'm so glad I decided to read the short stories along with the main books in this readalong.
