Pages: 484
Ziggy and Micah’s adventures in space continue. This time they are dealing with an orphan baby alien who seems to be wanted by mercenaries for nefarious purposes. This leads Micah and Ziggy on a new adventure featuring parenthood, discovering the truth about the Stellarians and Lacertus battle, and uncovering and stopping a larger plot by an alien race.
Like the first book, I was instantly hooked by this one. Ziggy and Micah continue to grow closer as they do various missions for the new Astrum Force. I am really enjoying the progression of their relationship and seeing them work out their issues and traumas together. Ziggy is really struggling in this one with his fears of children and being cut off from his abilities, but while there are tense moments between the two we do see them talk it out and work through the problems eventually, which I love. Micah also struggles in this one because he meets a race that has the same abilities as him, the Eki, and asks to be trained by them. Unfortunately, it brings up childhood trauma caused by his parents and makes him doubt his confidence in his abilities. It was just great seeing these two overcome their traumas together and coming out stronger for it.
“My mate…My perfect mate. The only one for me in all the galaxies. I knew from the moment I saw you that you were mine. My sunshine, my stellar collision… Mine until I return to the stars.”
Like I said, the relationship between these two continues to grow and become stronger. They take on an orphan baby in this and it was adorable seeing them step into the role of parents, especially Ziggy. Ziggy was such a reluctant father but at the same time really good at it and it was adorable. I love seeing these two start a family and all the challenges that come with it, especially when it’s a baby from a different species. I really can’t wait to see what will happen next to their family.
Micah and Ziggy uncover a lot of hidden truths in this one. They find a race that has been manipulating others into causing chaos and attempting to weaken the Stellarians. This leads to them meeting actual Lacertus and learning the truth about what started the war between the two races. I love that we are learning so much about the different alien races with each adventure these two go on.
Overall, this was another fantastic book. I can’t wait to read the next one and see what will happen next between these two. Also I can’t wait to learn more about the different races in this universe.
