katiekeske's review against another edition
3.75
I love Farli as a character, but I feel sad for her choice in a mate. I feel like he was too cowardly and selfish for my tastes. This one has a little more angst than previous books. I cared more about the overall plot for the tribe and its future than the couple's relationship.
I am really glad that this had more world-building and new characters introduced. It was nice to learn about the history of the sa-khui more.
I will say the twist with Bek at the end was quite surprising and disturbing. I already didn't like him as a character, but I feel like if things head where they seem to be going, I truly don't know how he can be redeemed.

Gosh, I love Farli! I am glad we got a book with her as the main lead, cause we have only gotten snippets of her in the past, granted that she was younger then. She is so funny and her bluntness makes her that much more charming. Her personality complements Mardock's and elicits a purpose in his life. I think they may be my favorite pair so far >.<
Since I listened to the audiobook, I don't know how exactly it is spelled, but the curse words Mardock uses seems to be a revolutionized one, /keffing/ is what it sounds like.
