M/F sci-fi romance.
Alien/alien pairing this time around, not human/alien.
Quick, easy read that is still somewhat "light-hearted" despite dealing with grief and the loss of a child. The discussions between the FMC and MMC were occasionally repetitive, but fans of the Ice Planet Barbarians series will likely still enjoy this instalment overall.
I enjoyed reading Asha's POV and thought her budding friendship with Claire was cute.
