Dreamhealers Series Bundle

What an absolutely lovely series! It is so thoroughly suffused with empathy and compassion that having just finished reading it, I am already missing it. While I found it to be an uplifting series overall, there are places where it deals movingly with such subjects as loss, grief, loneliness, school-related stress and more. All in a fascinating science fictional galaxy, wrapped around a believable asexual romance between two males of different alien species.

Though these characters do show up in other (more intense) books at other points in this sci-fi world, these books have a slower-paced and very character-focused action to them. I find them comforting reads, because while there are struggles and questions in the stories (so it's not boring at all!), these people we're spending time with are good people and you care about them. These can also easily be read and very much enjoyed if you haven't read other entries in this sprawling world, IMO--I have read a few other things in this world but not even close to 50% of that material, and these still remain ones I come back to to re-read upon occasion.
