Another stellar novel by S. Legend (pardon the pun 😁). 

Despite being a Guardian, Treyu is a Brat that requires a firm hand. Literally. 

Someone is out to get him and he's going to need all his allies, and maybe a few frenemies, to figure things out before Treyu ends up as stardust. 

Brilliantly meshing sci-fi elements with ancient mythology, S. Legend has created interesting worlds, populated with an array of diverse folk. It's hard not to fall in love with the side characters as well as the main crew. Little Trinket nearly steals every scene he's in (when you meet him you'll see) and there's even an appearance by Briggland and Ridomie Riker (IYKYK). 

From first page to last, I was happily lost in this book. The action, intrigue, and snark was absolutely delicious. I'm emotionally invested in these characters and can't wait to see what happens next. So good! 

If you enjoy sci-fi adventures, mysterious plots, spicy m/m+ relationships, domestic discipline, possessive MCs with literal "touch him and die" vibes, & brilliant banter, then this book is for you.
