It kind of got boring after the first sexy time. I just wanted to know more about the planet, its pink trees and scary wildlife.
Also the barefoot and pregnant line and pairing off, meh, not for me.
The author's got talent and it wasn't bad, just not FOR ME.
However, I will not judge you unless you read CH books.
I tried, I really did. But the grown arse man "fervently desiring" a 9 year old and marrying her a few years later was my last straw. Also all the incest and other shit. I felt physically ill reading this book, so I had to stop.
Contains spoilers
I wanted to like this so badly but all I kept thinking about while reading this was, when is it going to end.
The dragons do barely jack all in this book and the amnesia is poorly written. Also the MC's feel like someone tried to mesh all the "famous" tall, dark, handsome and skinny, strong and sassy into the these 2 generic, forgettable "people."
Whatshername (I legit kept forgetting it and not caring), wants to be Yelena from Poison Study so bad. An infinitely better book by the way, with zero dragons however. Although this one didn't really have the beasts in a competent, substantial way either.
If this had minus the dragons and was about the political intrigue, wow would it have been better.
I don't think I'll be continuing this series.
I think I will re-read Poison Study by Maria V Snyder instead.
Wow did I not think I was going to like this when I started. It was heavy and grey feeling and the MC was a whiny beyatch.
And boy was I wrong.
I think the things I didn't like in the MC was the reason I needed to read this book. They're all the things we ALL have, will or are currently struggling with. Hopelessness, helplessness and just questions of self worth.
It felt so annoying because it hit so close to home for me. By the end I was a blubbering mess and also felt my near empty cup replenishing. Found that the mere hope of it being able to be replenished, was fuel enough.
As a strictly fiction, fantasy, romance, history, adventure loving reader, who loathes self-help, modern crime and realism type stuff, I would highly recommend.
