Oh this series 💜 I love it so much. This particular book was a perfect last part of the journey through all 8 books.
Sophie's growth and struggles throughout the series always felt realistic, and this book is no exception.
I'm a big lover of Slice Of Life stories with characters I know well. I wouldn't say this whole book is that, but it did give that feeling which I loved. After these books I do feel I know Sophie and Elsa and other characters well, and being with them for another hockey season was great.

This is such a good continuation of the series, I had such a good time reading it. I sent multiple quotes to friends to share the joy (and to rec the book :P )
Seeing Devlin's journey continue in space, and seeing Zal with 'his' people, was very interesting. I loved how differences in culture was a main theme in this book, and how the characters dealt with it!
I'm tempted to gush here about the fun difference in anatomies the aliens have in the book, but I'll leave that for everyone to discover for themselves :P
I really recommend this series, both parts. Love the characters, the settings, and the plots are nice too! :D

The first thing about this book that stands out to me, is the writing style. It's funny, and with a use of vocabulary that stands out, in a very good way. (As a non-native speaker I went to my e-reader's dictionary a few times, but even that didn't know all words :D ((there is an in-book reason for these words, don't worry, its not the author being a word-grubber as Presti would say :D))
When a was partway into this book, I would have maybe called it a comedy, but then the later parts take a serious turn, that while they fit well within the narrative would be misrepresented if I gave the while book a comedy stamp. One part even made me tear up!
Overall, i really do recommend this, I had a very good time reading it, and I see a reread in my future!
