I liked this one a lot more than [b:Dreamhearth|35624216|Dreamhearth (The Dreamhealers, #3)|M.C.A. Hogarth|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1499543265s/35624216.jpg|57071183], as we spend more proportional amounts of time in both protagonists' heads. I find Vasiht'h's anxiety difficult to spend a lot of time with. The boys also come to some personal realisations and make progress in their relationship, while Dreamhearth felt more like they were spinning their wheels. And of course, I always enjoy it when one of the two goes all romantic!hero for the other.

This is the fourth of Hogarth's books about two non-human xenopsychologists, Jahir and Vasiht'h. I first met the pair of them just two weeks ago, yet they already count among my favorite fictional friendships. I liked this book very, very much, though I would strongly encourage beginning with the opening volume in their adventures, Mindtouch (a book that I entirely loved). Much of the book is comparatively uneventful, yet it contains softly moving moments reminiscent of Mindtouch, moments that are gentle but sometimes almost overwhelm me. There is also an extended action/adventure sequence that is more standard--well done and compelling, but not as unusual. I'm not sure how many others would be as struck by these books as I am, but I love them. Highly recommended.

About my reviews: I try to review every book I read, including those that I don't end up enjoying. The reviews are not scholarly, but just indicate my reaction as a reader, reading being my addiction. I am miserly with 5-star reviews; 4 stars means I liked a book very much; 3 stars means I liked it; 2 stars means I didn't like it (though often the 2-star books are very popular with other readers and/or are by authors whose other work I've loved).

Riveting!

Wonderful as always, and had some heart stopping moments! The moment my sweet boys were reunited made up for it though. They never fail to be inspiring and beautiful.
