If you're looking for something a bit different from the norm this is definitely the book for you. I am certainly up for reading more set in this world and I’m excited to see where this series goes next. I definitely enjoyed the second half of this a lot more than the first mostly because this is where we got to concentrate on the emerging connection between Mina and Jadar. I would have preferred less war-talk and more Mina and Jadar though and that’s where this did lose points for me. I did enjoy this it’s told from both POV’s and we also get some set-up for future stories in this world.

I loved there easy connection and how comfortable they were together. Mina is also a healer and scientist so for them it’s a meeting of minds as well as the physical. He’s also the Askari equivalent of a healer and also somewhat of a scientist his more docile nature matching this role. It is something he has suppressed within himself for years his nature is less usual for his race.īecause of this apparent flaw he is seen as less amongst the females of his race this used to bother him until Mina and with her, he can finally show his true self. Jadar is less dominant and closed off than his fellow Askari more willing to embrace his feeling towards Mina. I really loved the first two books in this series especially the first one and though this didn’t quite match the enthusiasm I had there it still was a worthy contender and I enjoyed myself a great deal. This is the third book in this series and Mina and Jadar’s story, We were initially introduced to them both previously and I was excited to learn more regarding there evolving relationship. However, I will say that I liked that Jadar was more touchy feely due to his status- and kind of wish the sex scenes reflected more of that intimacy aspect.Īll in all I really liked the read and will be on the lookout for the next book!

I kept waiting for the romance part of the story (but that might be because I'm impatient at times and the plot wasn't keeping me 100% invested.) So I liked this couple- but I will say the slow burn was a little bit to long for me. With tensions running high, and time running out Mina and Jadar are slowly making progress (both scientifically and romantically) but will their efforts be enough to save the Askari that were left behind in the previous war? While both races are setting up the new ships and preparing for war- there is a lot of chaos going on.Īlso, the other chosen humans have not been able to harness the power of their new suits and its up to our leads to figure out why, and to maybe experiment on their own. Mina Perez, and her counter part Askari- Jadar.
