I'm glad to have finished the series. I liked this one slightly better than the previous one, but it still felt rushed. I feel like the author tried to highlight other spinoff possibilities and didn't give a good send off to Sueva for me. I loved Sueva and the Suevans, so I felt a little sad to have the whole last book set off planet and focused on other species. 

I liked that Aeroz was a golden retriever for Julianna. We find out a lot about his background and family in this, but it did feel random. 

This one does tie in to the previous books as well as the spinoff series that starts with Alien on Fire, so I do recommend reading those first.
