I really liked Kira and felt her story was realistic and compelling. I appreciated how she cared so much for the other girls, did her best to assimilate to life on a new planet, and learned to take chances despite her fears. She always acted selflessly, even if it meant putting herself in mortal danger. This applies to her encounter with the Little Green Men and her hesitance to be with Aehako, which I believe was highly valid because she wanted to protect herself from a broken heart and him from

not being able to have kids

like how he hoped. I was pleased throughout the story as she gained confidence in herself and made decisions that served her desires, and I was glad that she was happier and felt a sense of belonging by the end of the novel. Aehako was also great. Even though he desperately wanted to be with Kira, he respected her need for space and adherence to human traditions, letting her initiate any romantic interactions they shared. Kira needed someone who understood why she is the way she is and how to bring her out of her shelf, and Aehako took those duties on with pride and enthusiasm. I loved this pairing and thoroughly enjoy this world Ruby Dixon has built!

i told myself i wouldn’t continue the series, but here i am. this one was fine, but i found Kira had the least personality compared to the other girls. her story of experiencing infertility was interesting though.

I think this is my favorite in the series so far. I adored Aehako and the dynamic between him and Kira was so sweet. I love how they chose each other.

I’ll admit, I didn’t like Kira very much at the beginning of the book. But as we learn more about her story and why she acts the way she acts, I’ve grown to respect her. Aehako is truly a perfect mate for her. His cheery sunshine alien self brings her out of her shyness and elicits more of the confidence and determination that she’s held bottled up inside.

And that last chapter had me on a rollercoaster: happy, then heartbroken, hen ecstatic and joy. It would’ve been interesting

to have a couple that doesn’t resonate, that she doesn’t have to get pregnant in order for her to have her happy ending.
