My timetable has become:

4am: Wake
4am-9am: Wonder why I am awake
9am-7pm: Work on a project that's going nowhere
7pm-11pm: Read lizardman smut

I'm not into lizardmen. Meoraq did nothing for me. How do I justify this behaviour to myself? To the ones who love me?

This book was an epic emotional roller-coaster that sucked you into the story and touched on so many deep topics in all their, sometimes gory, detail. This was not a cozy alian romance. This was raw and tragic, but SO good.

Excellent character development, a strong plot, and loveable but flawed main characters made for an absorbing read.  This is a genre I'm not usually drawn to, but I found myself thoroughly invested.  Will definitely be recommending.

The first time I read this book, I dnf at around the 7% mark because I was cruising through sci-fi romance novels like it was a time job, and found this 1,000 page (!) way too slow. I set it down and forgot about it for around two years. However, after stumbling across it again, I decided to look at it not as an bubblegum and fun romance, and instead try and read as serious sci-if epic. And I'm so glad I did! Honestly, it's an amazing mediation on God, religion, soul connections, and good and evil. I know i'll be thinking about this book for a long time to come, and already know that's it the type of book and I will read again  and again. My one recommendations is to mind the content warnings, as this is NOT a light and easy book.
