When Marlene woke up on Not-Hoth, she knew everything was going to be okay because she saw a heart. Her mom always gave her signs in the form of hearts when things were going to be okay, so she knew not to worry. It’s why Marlene was one of the few who rarely cried while getting settled into her new life on an ice planet. It’s also why Marlene had her eye on the shy and quiet Zennek. He doesn’t know what to do with himself every time she turns her attention onto him, but she knows that’s who she’ll resonate to.
Marlene and Zennek’s story is such a heartwarming feel-good story that one can’t help but love it. While the author says that we can read this book out of order, the opening and ending is set after book 15, so it’s probably best to read it in order just so the opening and ending will make more sense. However, the entire middle of the story is one big flashback that takes us back to the first two books in the series!
I really enjoyed reading the story from Marlene and Zennek’s perspectives. I actually liked this book a lot more than the previous one. It felt like it was the right place to have one big flashback to back when Marlene and Zennek first met. It was also fun to see Marlene seduce Zennek as soon as she could, which was a nice change from most of the books in the series.
It was also really nice to see how much Marlene cares for her in-laws, some of which are among the elders. We don’t get to see a whole lot of the elders, so it was nice to see them from a new perspective from meeting their new daughter in-laws to treating them like they’re their own daughters. I hope to see more of the elders at some point, whether it is in this series or the spin-off!
