“Three furry, pastel-colored gents– all from an extremely rare lagomorphic-looking species called the Lapann– had apparently decided that galactic chivalry wasn’t dead.”
Ch’ik, a broma pod smuggler gets into a wee bit of trouble, these boys are here to help her. They’ve been together a bit, but their family is not quite complete until they have a beta that can carry their young to birth. Enter Ch’ik. What follows is a wild foray through the stars and love.
Pages 1-100 were: what the eff am I reading?! Surrounded by laughter as I gleefully wolfed it down. This was a fun gallop through the universe with these three Lapanns and their beta, Ch’ik. It was funny, and sweet, and sometimes a little bittersweet, and spicy and exciting. I was all over the place with it but mainly in love. The moments between the Lapanns and Ch’ik were on point, a mix of sweet and bittersweet, they break your heart apart and put it back together when they’re together.
Some things I absolutely loved: Roz. ROZ. ROZ. Ch’ik. I loved how the world is arranged with alphas, betas, and omegas, where they’re all needed and no one is “extra”. I loved the fact that omegas are specifically made stronger because they have to carry and protect their young until meet with a compatible beta who can grow and carry them to birth. I loved that Jau, Zul, and Roz all loved one another.
This was an A+ joyous ride for me.
