I really liked this one. I loved reading about Steph, Juth, and Pak. They're the sweetest and most gentle characters. 

It was sad reading about how Juth and Pak had no one until Steph came along, even amongst the other outcasts when they were alive and felt they couldn't accept anything or even make a simple fire to stay warm. I was so happy to see Juth and Pak finding a family and some acceptance towards the end of this book.

I can't wait to get into Sam's Secret and find out what exactly her secrets are and of course to finally get Sessah's story. I've been waiting the whole series to get to this book, wanting to see Sessah finally get to resonate and get his happy ending. 

I'm also excited to see how the icehome tribe pieces things back together after their home was destroyed. 

Overall this was a really good book. And I can't wait to get into the next one.

I really liked how this story was done.  Steph and Juth as a great couple and I love that they both grow in this book!  Also love, love, love the plus size representation and I absolutely adore how much Juth loves Steph. But also.... what kind of

tentacle monsters

nonsense 😂

I really loved Pak and enjoyed Juth’s perspective, but really disliked Steph. I hated how she was trying to give unsolicited therapy to the whole tribe. It just gave me bad vibes.

absolutely loved the giant kaiji monsters!!! Love the reminder to us readers that this is a random dangerous planet, just like in IPB with the earthquake.
