Man, I love a queer romance. I love an alien romance. I love a queer alien romance! I love love love a queer alien romance with a cool trans main character. I thought this was a fantastic alien romance-- the science fiction was fun without being confusing, and all the alien types were really interesting. Paul has an incredible amount of growth as a character. I thought Hadrell was a really well developed character, who wasn't reduced to their transness, nor were was his transness ignored (Hadrell uses they/he pronouns). Overall a fantastic alien romance, with a sexy amount of spice and heat. 1000/10
