They met through William actually. He always thought there could be something between his daughter and Sergei. You should give Strong Heart go. It is a bit different, but I believe you will like it if you liked Adrift.

I didn't particularly feel connected to either of the characters.
They did have a small role in this book compared to the first one. Hopefully, they get a larger part in the next book.

Sergei has a life of traveling and presenting at conferences while Myra is deeply enmeshed in tribal life within her community. It would be fascinating to see how the author would bring these two together.
Yes, it would be definitely interesting. I would love to see that actually. Also, I hope that they end up together.

I enjoyed the book and am now reading the prequel, Strong Heart.
Hopefully, we will get more of them.

I hope you like the prequel. I would love to know your thoughts on it.

Yeah, we need to wait for it. I hope we get more of them there.

I think so as well. Maybe, we will get to see them ending up together after some trials, of course.

Myra's firm stand in fighting for her community is something to worth an applause. If the two can be brought together then it would be of great help to Myra given that both are scientists.
Yes, especially considering that they have differing views. This will make their work much better.

That is how I am leaning also. I see Myra staying as an active member of the community and Sergei eventually coming to join her.
That is very much a possibility, a possibility I would like to see realized.

I hope so too. I really want them to end up together.

The author can develop on it in the next book, keeping true to the theme, of course.

While I do hope we see more of them, I don't want their romance to overtake the plot. It's one of my pet peeves when authors allow romantic undertones to overshadow the main story.

The two are obviously attracted to each other.But there's the challenge of distance and both being occupied by their work.

Myra is also secretly ntimidated by Sergei, because he has more academic credentials than her,but she would rather die than let him know

But I foresee the author eliminating the distance,so as to bring these two together .

Keeping in mind the tone of the previous books, I do not think that it would overshadow the main story. My only hope is that we get more of Sergei and Myra.

Me too. I think Sergei may move to the Olympic Peninsula. Also, with time Myra may stop being secretly intimidated by him and understand that her experiences in the field are just as important.

I didn't read the previous books, so it will be interesting to see how the author further develops the two characters in future books.
