This was almost a 5 star read! Wow! 
I loved, loved, loved Asha and Hemalo’s story. I think it was really moving and interesting to read about two mated lovers grieving such a terrible loss in such different ways and trying find their way back to one another. So beautiful. 
It would’ve been a 5-star if Claire and Beck hadn’t been a side plot. This is a common habit in the other novels as well and I don’t really care to read these side plots. I think they deserve their own novel, otherwise it feels unnecessary and out of place.

At first Asha’s personality was coming across similar to Liz’s for me but then as we discussed grief and loss and how different people handle those things it morphed for me. I really enjoyed finally reading about her and hemalo  working through their problems and coming together and their happily ever after was so freaking happy I legitimately almost started tearing up. I also liked that Asha was able to go and protect him and they were able to be there and nurture other living beings. Oh and I liked Claire’s POV’s and her friendship with Asha. what a lovely read!

I have been waiting for this book in the series. The ending had me in tears.
I am glad it not only worked on Asha’s relationship with Hemalo but also with the tribe
I am excited to see the tribe all together in the next books, I am also excited for Farli’s story next.
