4.6 stars.
This was so good!
I loved getting to know more about Arcanthus(aka Alkorin)
This book had slightly less dark themes.
Sam was abused by someone on earth and she has some lingering fears and doubts because of that. But we never read any of the abuse on page and she doesn’t describe much of it to Arc.
There was also slightly less violence than the first book. There were little fights here and there throughout but only one big fight and it seemed far less complex than when Tenthil fought the acolytes and Master in the first book.

I really loved all the humor and playfulness that Arc brought to this book. And his relationship with Drakkal was really entertaining to read.

And the Sex!
Once again we have an alien
