The Triad

This is a story of relationships. Mo and Lesley have loved each other for fourteen years, but now the Chosen Council has assigned them to be a Triad with Jayne. Can they adapt to being a threesome?
I bought and read this book immediately after finishing Rymellan 2: Shattered Lives because I wanted to see how Lesley handled the realization that she had at the end of that book. I found the story compelling and wanted to keep reading.
It was only after finishing all three books that I stopped to think about what was missing from the series. None of these questions threw me out of the book while I was reading it; they only occurred afterwards.

Book 3 is 200+ pages of proof on why 'Triads' are a bad idea. I would like to know what formula the Council used to come up with it? Either it is seriously BS or they've figured out how to predict the future.
All their life, Lesley and Mo KNEW that they were meant for each other. And they were right. But the All-Knowing Council insists that it's not enough. They need a third wheel. So the entire book, Lesley and Mo try to figure out how to work the third wheel into their lives and not leave her out or leave each other cold. Now they are all tiptoeing around each other, trying not to offend anyone. All this goes on for a while, and is a bit exasperating and exhausting to read. Which I wouldn't have minded so much if there was some delicious payback. I haven't mentioned it before in my reviews of Books 1 & 2, but there is NO SEX in any of the Rymellan books. Not even FADE TO BLACK. Just a quick peck or a hug here and there. By the end of the first book, I had to ask myself did they ever do 'it'? I honestly wasn't sure. By the 2nd book, I was sure I'd read that they were together. But are they really 'together', as in physically? I suppose they are. And I was kinda hoping, no, expecting that there will be more details in Book 3, but still zilch. If it were not for the Triad concept, this would be totally PG.

What a great read! The author impressed me with how she managed not to have a main character but actually three main characters. There were so many emotions that presented themselves in this story. In fact, that seems to be the tool to keep the reader engaged, how will the other characters react to this or that.
Of course, this would not be a good stand alone book. One must read the preceding two books. Get to know the characters, the planet, the laws of Rymel. This is my kind of sci-fi. No racing out and killing things or rising to be the ruler of the next world. This is thoughtful sci-fi.
I hope there will be more of this triad. I would love to see how their relationship grows with children and careers of the three women.
Thank you, Sarah Ettritch for being brave enough to write something so different and strong!
