|Thoughts|
The series is so wholesome whilst also focusing heavily on spice (this one is fairly light compared to earlier books in the series.
If youโre already this far into the series, you know what youโre going to get. A human stuck on an ice planet, where her body is strongly compelling her to mate with a chosen blue alien.
This was does addressed the matter of choice. Although, itโs fairly brushed over.
โBut is what we have real or just a mating instinct?โ
The most interesting part of this story was that the FMC, Lila is deaf. Her experience both on the alien planet and on earth added an interesting element to the story.
And continue to find the humour in the cultural clash between the humans and the Sa-Kui.

โShe gestures at me with one finger, and that puzzles me. Does she think I speak their hand language? I decide to memorize the signal in case I need it to talk to Li-lah.โ
Just the way the aliens and inhabitants of Not-Hoth embraced her was the sweetest.
โYou have many words to say. It is not your fault they do not know hand-speak yet. It is easy to learn, so there is no excuse for them to not welcome you as part of the tribe.โ
Just what I love about the IPB series, light, action and spicy.
