This is second in a sci-fi series and rather depends on you reading the first to get all the nuance. So read the first before this one, is what I'm saying.
Having read the first, you know what to expect with this one. I thought Chaladine was kind of weak in that one so it was nice seeing her claim her strength. The plot meanders a lot to give her growth experiences, but since I liked her I was okay with it.
While reading it, I didn't consider it that outstanding. But I was fully engaged and had a hard time putting it down so I'm thinking it really was a five-star read. I'll go with that for the rating at any rate. Though I'll end with a note that the editing is remarkably bad and there are simple errors with an embarrassing frequency.
A note about Steamy: Chaladine has a couple of different lovers in this story and we needed some of the intimate details to show how they affected her along the way. So there's some steam, though not a whole lot.

hmmm?
I just don’t know. So far, I am not enjoying this series. The first book was just “ok.” It took too much time on things that just didn’t seem to matter. This book seemed so silly. I liked Chaladine somewhat in the first book. But this version of her made her seem just really weak and gullible. I got tired of hearing about the Galatzi Trade and why she needed to leave Talmon.
I didn’t care much for Cecilia in the first book and even less in the second. Cecilia and Sartine’s relationship is even more weird and strange to me. The whole Delilah situation bothered me to no end. I didn’t understand why Chaladine didn’t accept Luradinine. The Maddilyn situation was just silly. I’m wondering who wrote this weird series to begin with. Parts of it I understand but going on and on about some of these other storylines was just too much. I started skimming a lot of the book.
What happened to Delilah? Why did Cecilia really turn her loose on Chaladine? Why did Savannah allow this? There was no reason for a Galatzi Trade. I didn’t enjoy this part of Chaladine’s story. I couldn’t bond with her. I felt like she was immature and was looking for love in all the wrong places. And I didn’t see her as wise enough to really lead anyone.
There are two more books on this series…I have no idea what I will think of them. Unfortunately, this series can’t even begin to touch the authors others like “Seer,” “The Madison Wolves,” and definitely NOT the “ Amazon” series. I am just not seeing the point of this series yet or is there nothing much to learn/gain from it?

Excellent storytelling, but the ending gave me whiplash and made me feel cheated because Chaladine is with Savannah, of whom we know next to nothing. Savannah's granddaughter, on the other hand, we know and loathe quite well. Perhaps it's simply my prejudices getting in the way, but sharing sexual intimacy with a woman and her grandmother is unpalatable to me. So I'm giving it 3 stars, instead of the 4 I had planned until chapter n-1.

🌈😘VISIONARY😘🌈I was so envious of the inhabitants of Talmon. There society is so; well not entirely gentle but a hell of a lot gentler than life on this plant! And the way you coupled up the people wow sure reduces the anxiety strain on those that are so introverted that they can feel like a definite outcast.
I'm really enjoying reading this stimulatingly series.
Thank You!😍
