I was worried about our remaining Morts after all the other human women were mated off, especially Hadrian. He was positive that he was in love with Aria, even though she is mated to Breccan, the mort he considers his father. And after the events of the last book, where we get an MMF group, Hadrian is just positive that Aria could choose to add him to her mating with Breccan. It doesn't matter that she has made it quite clear that she only sees him as a little brother, that thought is still there.

I think that this shows just how very young that Hadrian is. He's really only a young man, one who is just starting out in life and trying to figure out what is going on with everything in his life. And Aria, who is a really pretty woman, is the first woman he has seen in his teenage and adult life. So, of course, he's going to feel a certain way about her.

And then we have Lyric. She is Aria's younger sister. She looks like Aria. But she is much fiercer than Aria, I think. Hadrian calls her a feral woman, and I'm pretty sure that's a good description of her. She has come looking for Aria, and ended up in a prison on the same planet. Aria and Breccan have sent two of the morts, including Hadrian out to find her. And find her they did.

I think that Lyric and Hadrian are actually quite perfect for each other. They are both leaders, they are both strong, and they both feel responsibility to their people. I think that they are going to really complement each other well.

I have to wonder about something that one of the women said when the morts first started contacting them. They said there are more of those monsters. Does that mean that there are still more morts hiding that we don't know aobut? Interesting. ( )
