I found this story to be much too cutsie sweet for me. I never felt a connection to either Xavier or Dylan. The crisis with Yeris just did not feel real. ( )

2.5 stars.

I finished reading this because it's short and I liked the dynamic well enough, but, at just 31% in, both main characters had used the word pussy derogatorily three times, and I... Someone tell the author: that it is misogynistic to equate pussy with weakness for several reasons. Just for one thing, that part of anatomy is tougher than balls will ever be. Graduate from middle school already. Be part of the twenty-first century. It is annoying to still be seeing this nonsense.

The plot's good, the human's character arc is good. The prose is over-explainy and I wish authors would cut that out, it's insulting to readers.

Ultimately, it was good but not great because of the above issues. ( )
