4 stars — I was worried about this one, because I had kind of expected Daisy to have changed a lot given her burns at the end of that last book. But she really hadn’t. We got a look inside her head, and initially I was pretty disappointed. And even O’jek was a bit…brusque. Which […]
4.5 stars — This was exactly what I was looking for and needing with the mood I was in. I know the author said the book turned out longer than she expected, but I honestly didn’t notice at all…and if you’ve been reading my reviews lately, you know that’s something that doesn’t work for me, […]
3.5 stars — I thought I would give another series by Ms. Dixon a try, and while this definitely went better than my foray into fireblood dragons, it still didn’t quite hit the mark like the IPB series and spinoffs for me. At least this one had better pacing and tempo. The narrators were solid, […]
3.5 stars — I thought I would like this one more than I did, but I was disappointed that Sam never really had plans to open up to anyone else, especially Steph…course, that might change after the book takes place, but I’m still bummed. Sam had a LOT going on with her, and having never […]
4 stars — Oh yeah, this was what I was looking for. I was feeling a bit book slumpish, so I was so excited when the audio came out for this one and I pounced on it. This series always gives me what I’m looking for. Obviously I love some stories more than others, some […]
4 stars — Wow, I didn’t see the conflict in this one coming! I kind of appreciate that Ms. Dixon showcased what it would be like for a couple, especially a couple coming from different planets, trying to figure out how to compromise in the bedroom. I especially loved Josie’s talk with Dagesh. I really […]
4 stars — You know what? I wasn’t looking forward to Bridget and A’tam’s book. They seemed like drama and over the top, and I don’t know… I sincerely saw them as everyone on the beach saw them. But you know what I got instead?? A book with a lot more depth than I was […]
4 stars — Well, Raven wasn’t what I was expecting AT ALL. Which, was kind of the point…but I have mixed feelings about that, because I enjoyed her persona. At the same time, I really appreciated the story of the REAL Raven, and how she struggled with letting people see the real her. I did […]
3.5 stars — I was surprised by how much of the book took us into the past with Mari and T’Chai. I wasn’t sad about that, I wanted to know how their relationship developed, but I guess it was probably just a scootch more than felt necessary to me. Especially given the time jump in […]
3.5 stars — Cashol definitely stole the show in this one. Which is not to say that Megan was unlikeable, it’s just that Cashol…well, he was adorable. Teasing and adoring, but also strangely vulnerable in his own way. Megan was a bit harder for me to connect with at times, just because of how extreme […]
