The concept was great! Omegaverse but in space, plus all the outdated views in omegas and alphas. Yet, I was still disappointed. I found myself skimming through a lot of it trying to get the purpose but finding no answer. On top of that the story ends in a HFN where they finally admit they like each other past Azure’s heat but then the cliffhanger of a possible demise is on the horizon. 

I’m not invested enough in their love, if you can call it that. Azure said he was half in love with Tor before his heat hit but I don’t know why, the reasons mentioned could be applied to feelings for someone he respects. And what Tor, the last time he was laid was 10 years prior, so is this love or is this an opportunity to feel a connection with someone. 

I didn’t connect with the plot or characters, which, again, is disappointing because the premise sounds so cool.

I actually read the original fanfiction this is based on. I went looking to re-read it and it was deleted because it was turned into this series. That's how I came to find this book. I see the essence of the original story in this one. The characters are different, the world is different but the core is the same. Did I still try to picture the original characters? I confess I did. It didn't really work. The original or the new, I still enjoy the story.

Not very convincing omegaverse OR sf, but not bad either, with some enjoyable heat.

I really enjoyed this story. Sexy and firmly grounded in a scifi world that felt part of the story vs being a mere setting. There were some abrupt shits in tone from the romance and relationship between Azure and Tor to the scifi based plotline that was being developed, but both fit well together. I think it did a really great take on the Omegaverse trope.
