Between 4 and 5 stars. I think I let this book languish on my TBR list for so long because I thought it was straight-up erotica, and huge alien guy + smaller human guy is not especially my kink. But I was wrong; it's a good romance with a few unusual sex scenes. The kink is BDSM, and a pretty extreme total power exchange version, if you like or dislike reading about that.

The kink aspect is woven into the detailed worldbuilding in a really interesting way. The alien culture has an official social role for submissives, which is not necessarily sexual. In fact, the aliens don't experience sexual pleasure.

It's a believable alien world overall, and I was really into that aspect of the story. I'm excited that there are more books in this series. Also, the audiobooks recently came out and are available on Hoopla.
