Yay! We get to find out what Dom is and the demon fighting, fae helping journey that it takes to get there. First class action as always, but Kal is emotionally damaged and pushes herself away from Dom- which I hate. And now Dom will be self-sufficient and not a kept man anymore :)

I can appreciate Kal's coldness now, not just from being a snake person (which is weird since they love heat) but from her abusive past (could be some triggers for readers). Snake people should be portrayed as more warm and friendly. If you think about it, she has not experienced softness and love since she was a teenager. So over 100 years. I have to take that in and realize that is just her character.

And from a reader standpoint, this storyline does not make me happy inside. I want the MC's to feel for each other and not hold back the intimacy that comes with honesty. Dom is finally stepping up and bringing topics up, confessing his feelings but she shuts it down. Sigh. And I guess we need to go through seeing Dom as young and confused human to a Leader with authority that can go toe to toe with a Naga.

But I also find myself way more emotionally invested in this series than some others because it BOTHERS me. Great writing! And I would dearly love to read the story of Cassius and Sorcha.
