Synopsis (Goodreads):
Vasil has spent his life serving the needs of his people, denying his own desires — until a star falls from the sky. He follows its fiery trail and finds the unexpected: a mysterious human female. She is his chance at having the mate, the family for which he’s longed. But when he discovers her connection to the organization that created and enslaved his ancestors, he must decide if claiming his happiness is worth the risk of exposing the kraken.

Stranded on an unknown planet, Theodora Velenti has limited supplies and no way to call for help. Hopeless, the arrival of a half-man, half-octopus alien doesn’t seem like an improvement. But despite his differences, Theo finds herself drawn to him. Giving in to Vasil’s advances means accepting that the life she knew is gone forever. Can she give up a chance of rescue or is what she and Vasil feel for each other real?
Thoughts on Fallen from the Stars: Oh my goodness. Vasil. The quietly supportive, always there when you need him Kraken who gives everything and expects pretty much nothing in return. I liked him. So much.

I also like his straight-shooting ways. He isn't shy about announcing how he wants Theo. In fact, he thinks being honest about it is the best way to move their relationship (if they're going to have one) forward. And, HOO-BOY!, Theo was kind of down with his bluntness. You know, once she got used to the idea that this man, who was very different from her, could want her just because she's her.

Theo's ability to tap into some of the more hidden components of the old technology on Halora gives us a deeper look at how the Kraken had been used and abused by their makers. I like getting answers about the past (most of which we knew, but it was enlightening to see it through someone else's eyes) and I LOVE when previously hidden facets of this world (both old tech and new dangers) are revealed.

In case I wasn't clear, I've loved all the books in this series and love that we're going to get more. Eventually. I'm patient. Really. (No, I'm not. In the words of Veruca Salt, I WANT IT NOW!) *thumbs up*
