This is my favorite of the series so far, I think because the author delves into the nuances of the MC’ trauma and connection a bit more. The reason they are fated mates is addressed. Some disability representation in the FMC’s illness. And there is plenty of hotness. Interesting that the fate of the MMC’s former lover was not part of the wrap up. I may take a break from the series now as they are feeling a bit repetitive.

I liked Cecelia and Rixavox more than Kate/Vaxa but not as much as Lihvan and Beks. 
 
Cecelia has cancer and opts to stay longer so she can seek medical treatment on Luxiria. (A simple enough treament on this alien planet). Rixavox is tasked with watching over her while she is undergoing the healing process. Together, they struggle to keep things innocent while she's healing. 

The first half of the book was a little slow on plot but the tension and pining were excellent. 

I also can't get over how Rixavox pronounced her name as  <i>"Sessela"</i> - so cute. 

Fun fact, Zoey's Warrior of Rozun books are about Roxavox's banished brother!! May have to go read those now because I am interested in Devix's story.
