I enjoyed this teaser novella as an introduction to the world of The Boundlands This novella introduces us to Hyrak and Solandis, a mixed race orc and sylvan who have an adorable meet-cute during an explosive moment at one of the lab buildings on their college campus. We follow their early courtship from meeting, to pining for each other while finding every opportunity to spend time together (while not admitting they have feelings), to a date night-turned-sexy romp "and we're dating now." I enjoyed the dual perspective and look forward to seeing these characters again (even as supporting cast) in Leviathan's Song!
