I really loved this one. It gave me a new perspective on Asha and why she behaved the way she did to everyone. While not entirely excused it explains a lot into her actions. She has a very fiery and stubborn personality and not everyone understood the way she grieved. 

I also loved seeing her and Hemalo working through the issues of their relationship. Their issues definitely came down to each other's actions and their clear lack of communication and it didn't help that they have such differing personalities. But once they got through the miscommunication issue, I think they have a great relationship in the end. They both clearly love each other they just didn't always show it in the best ways. Actions truly do matter in the grand scheme of things.  

And I truly felt for Asha and Hemalo when they resonate again both of them knowing that they'll now have to go through another pregnancy terrified of the same results as their first one. But like all the other books this one ends happy and I think it probably has the happiest ending than all the other books so far.

This may actually be my favorite one so far. As always I'm excited to get into the next story.
