I like the exploration of another alien species again! It is interesting to see how the different lives of the different aliens affect how they think and act, whether we deem it moral or not by human standards. I like how we see Vordis's devotion as something beyond what he and Thrand was programmed to do. How the A'ani start to become more comfortable being their own beings rather than clone slaves.

I like the little easter egg of Thrand watching Nadine when she's around and mentioning when he finally understood what Vordis was trying to tell him in terms of his duty vs feelings for Angie.

Definite character growth.

We see that the aliens tend to be more frank and literal, and the A'ani clones are no exception. It reminds me of back to Veronica's book where one of the A'ani joked about

"what if a female trips and falls onto my cock? would I then be able to claim her as my mate?"

This one was so up and down for me!!! I really loved Vordis, and his journey with discovering of his identity! Angie was also so sweet, and I love little Glory.
I thought the

third act miscommunication breakup seemed really forced. I had to just push through the story and account it to Angie being emotional since she just gave birth.

Overall, it was a sweet story. I loved Vordis and Thran’s relationship as well.

We're kind of running into the problem of very similar, muscled, personality-free alien main male characters in this series, especially the guys who escaped slavery. I'm still here for the plot and the ice planet.

TW/CW rape details to help you decide if you want to read this:

there is no rape on page, just the possibility that it happened while the mfc was unconscious because she woke up pregnant. After the baby is born, she finds out she was not raped with a man's body, but a fertilized egg was implanted without her knowledge or consent while she was unconscious.
