ARC Review-
Maieman: Paradox Book I revolves primarily around King Jonah, showcasing the turbulence he has experienced through his life. From losing his love interest when she was sent away to Earth to interfamilial turmoil to being held captive and brutally mistreated to finally being freed and attempting to immerse himself back into high society, King Jonah has been to hell and back. Can he truly become the man he was once destined to be or will something sinister lurking beneath the surface rear its ugly head? One thing I really love about this authors books are that while the male characters make their presence known, it’s the female characters that really run the show. The women in her world are fierce, bold, and independent and maybe even a little cutthroat at times. While King Jonah is the main focus of the story, Queen Revari (my favorite character) also has much of her story told as well. I think this particular book showcased so many winning attributes. It had royal court intrigue, corruption, feuds for days, and more. Also, I would be doing a disservice to this story if I didn’t mention the cliffhanger ending. Call me mind blown because that’s exactly what happened. Can’t wait for book two of the trilogy! Author D.L. Hannah and her books have quickly become my go to’s when I’m needing dark sci-fi books where women run the universe.

D.L. Hannah is back with the start of a fourth series in her universe of interplanetary royal drama, now focusing on a new young king, Jonah, rising up to rule the world of Maieman. This new world is probably the closest we’ll be able to get to old Coldarius at this point in the timeline, particularly with its blue-forward aesthetic - especially the blue lemons and other fruit of a different color. (Giving me flashbacks to my own eighth grade short story writing assignment where a guy’s plane crashed and he had to survive in a grove full of experimental fruits, like ultra sweet blue strawberries and flammable bitter purple lemons…) As with Hannah’s previous books, this one is pretty heavy on the extended flashbacks, resulting in a short but slow burning story with lots of mind-screwy moments, because even a king can’t trust his own senses sometimes. Soon I’ll be preordering the next book, Revelations, to complete the collection up to now…
