MMC description:

FMC description:
- Physical: golden-brown hair, thin, pale skin, average height, gray eyes.
I like her more than soft blankets, more than the best meals. I like her more than the fresh breeze on my face when we're outside. I would choose her over all of that.
She automatically leans over and puts her mouth on my sticks, eating, and I freeze, stunned. Her mouth was just on my sticks. She goes back to her bowl, and I quickly shove my sticks into my mouth, hoping to taste her. It just tastes like dinner, though. Disappointing.
He's adorable.
My opinion:
I loved the first 50%, and how Mina and Crulden got to know and trust each other. That was my favorite part.
Also I just loved Crulden with his naivety yet his possessiveness of Mina, and how she also took care of him and how both wanted to protect each other, he physically and she with her cunning.
I definitely have something for threatening, dangerous aliens who are very soft and a little naive on the inside.
I just wish we were shown more about them together when finally free. And their interactions lost focus at the ending because of them escaping their confinement, but they didn't even participate in that, it was conveniently solved.
And personally I didn't like the 3rd act breakup.
Last 30% of the book felt meh, I was really liking the book before that.
I'll still recommend this to someone who wants a little break from other books or genres.
CW detailed:
- Torture/Mutilation: On page but not explicit MMC is physically hurt and his finger is cut so he has scars and looks like someone else.
Is mention and given a little of detail how in a video a gladiator dismembers other competitors and rapes then kills and dismember a woman slave too.
- Sexual Assault: FMC is in not assaulted but is constantly mentioning how she is worried about that, so the threat and worry lasts most of the book.
- Murder: MMC kills a lot of the guards who keep him captive.
