I would read more by this author though, I'd like to sssee what elssse ssshe can do.Ģ.5 i-will-build-a-lair-for-usss Ssstarsss All of J'Qhir's ssspeech is written like thisss.Īn easssy read ( apart from J'Qhir's full name, what a bloody mouthful) but I guesss I wanted sssmut and inssstead I got PG-13. If you have managed to read thisss review without throwing sssomething at your ssscreen, you'll be able to make it through thisss book. Thisss definitely needed more Vektalling. Probably becaussse I have been reading too much alien sssmut. The sssex, while interesssting to have the different anatomy of J'Qhir, left me wanting. Communication people, it makesss the world go round. The " I don't know what he wantsss"/" Doesss ssshe want to be with me" ssstuff wasss overdone at the end and I just wanted to basssh their heads together to communicate. I wisssh that J'Qhir and Leith could have figured out their situation a little better and fassster. It had a sssurvivor feel with them being marooned on the desssserted planet and it wasss all very " nice". It had the ssslow burn feel of a Grace Draven book, without the flowery writing. I mean come on, look at that cover! I truly thought I was going to be mentally ssscarred from this reading experience.Īnd while thisss isss definitely no Barbarian Alien, it wasss alright. Thisss wasss not asss bad asss I wasss expecting. I'm going to keep thisss ssshort and sssweet. |
