Side Note: The honeymoon novellas just aren't that good. Just like in <i>Barbarian Alien</i>, Kira, and Aehako's novella walked back some good character development.

Aside from the handful of times I skipped pages, I loved Kira and Aehako. I love how they both choose each other despite the fact they weren't resonated and didn't think they'd be able to resonate to each other. It showed that they loved each other whether or not they're able to have kids.Â
Now when it comes to Asha I really did not like her. I hate the fact she kept persisting Aehako even though he repeatedly told her he does not want her, and the fact she is going out of her way to sleep with Aehako while already being mated did not sit well with me. Both Aehako not wanting her and her having a mate and persisting anyways has me not liking her one bit at this point I'm the series.Â
Even though this is my least favorite in the series so far, it was still a mostly enjoyable read.

I love how Aehako is totally smitten with Kira without needing to resonate to her. I love his happy and dedicated personality.Â
I liked Kira because I could relate to her more quiet and reserved personality.Â
Plot-wise I enjoyed getting to see and learn more about the old space ship that the sakh aliens crashed on. I liked the action that picked up toward the end with

if youre struggling to conceive or have fertility issues dont read this book because it will make you feel like shit. kira does nothing but describe herself as "flawed" and "broken" constantly because she is infertile due to a medical reason as a teen. instead of doing something interesting with a character that is not affected by the parasite in the same way the other humans are, the author makes kira a woman tormented and unbearable due to it.Â
"It was his choice to mate me despite knowing my flaws." - Kira (yes the 'flaw' is her being infertile.)
the actual plot beats of the evil aliens from book 1 returning are interesting but are too few compared to the many scenes of the author constantly reminding us of her pregnancy fetish.
the way everyone treated harlow was also so fucked up but i dont want to spoil too much. to me it just further illustrates how the characters will act out of character just when it's most convenient to the plot.
vektal and georgie continue to be so unlovable in this book as well. as if theyre the only two people that matter to each other and everyone else can die for all they care.
and my personal fave thing to hate on is how little the translator stuff makes sense. how can aehako not know what a "tub" is, but knows what calling someone "randy" means?Â
