(  ) jennybeast | Apr 14, 2022 | Categories: Best Sci-Fi/Futuristic/Post-Apocalyptic/Steampunk I wanted to like this book more. I was looking forward to reading it very much - I was expecting at least a 4 star read. It was sweet, insta-love, and fun, but nothing more. It reminded me a lot of the Claimings series by Lyn Gala. It was too easy to draw parallels between the two books - both aliens were purple, they both made nests for their mates, they both had a thing about language, they both trilled when excited, and they both had natural lubrication ;) I loved the alien parts - the culture, the differences between them and humans, whole new concepts of being - but the connection between the MCs seemed trite and superficial at best. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with fluff, but it just isn't enough to make me really fall in love with the characters as I did in Claimings. Maybe if there weren't so many similarities I wouldn't have been thinking about Ondry so much and I might have enjoyed it more. (  ) NannyOgg13 | Mar 27, 2021 | The author does a great job of handing out enough information to keep you informed without giving a huge info dump or leaving you floundering wondering wth is going on. As the story progresses you learn more and more until you realise you know everything you need to, even if she leaves you possibly wanting more, lol. As always, the story has great characters. Characters that stand alone, ones I'd love to be able to go and visit, they are so multi-dimensional. The world building, a combination of familiar and utterly alien, is fantastic. I'd actually love to read more stories set in this universe. The mystery that needed solving was a great addition which added a lot of depth and created an understanding of this strange world that Tristol originated from, even if towards the end I suspected the outcome of it all. I really can't recommend this enough. This is an author who knows how to play with her readers. Who knows which strings to pull to get (and keep) us hooked! Even if it's with slightly disturbing tenticle-like hair *grin* (  ) ShazOV | Feb 10, 2021 | As the servant of my own "wonderful feline creature, I absolutely loved the beginning of this book! And I fell in love with Tris right away... fluffy, living hair and bouncy exuberance and all! A bit insta-lovey but that wasn't a deal-breaker for me. The only issue I had at the end of the book was that Mr. Montiguous seemed to have been forgotten! Poor little "wonderful feline creature"! And once again, a smashing narrator elevated this book to top marks for me! I really hope there will be more stories of the Galoi! ( ) Bookbee1 | Jan 30, 2021 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

I hope the author will write another book about these characters. It seems to me there is room for development. Why are the Galoi dying out for instance? (
