Very pleased with the explanation for "uncontrollable violent jealousy" trope in this one. Usually the MMC is just a red flag dick. This book explains it like a disease or ingrained instinct from a different species. Much more acceptable. Also "understanding cannot exist in only one direction". Love it, stop trying to force others to learn and accept your culture without reciprocating.

Finally! A fated mates done right! Ancient magic that binds souls but does not force attraction or love! Fated in most books is like "Oh yeah he's abusive but that's okay because we're mates" like it's a done deal no matter what. Or where attraction is forced which, for me, a supernatural power forcing you to want to have sex just sounds non-consentual.
