Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! I loved, loved, loved The Ravager Chronicles! This was my first time reading the work of Sara Page but it certainly won't be my last! I completely fell in love with Page's easy to follow style and perfect melodic prose. So, how can prose be melodic, you ask? Well, for me, it happens when the words of a story turn into a beautiful song. I hear a melody of words composed of the perfect combination of notes that can be described as sexy, sweet, seductive, sensual, steamy, romantic, funny and serious. And this story had it all along with a whole lot more! There was action, adventure, angst, heartache, loss, wicked enemies and plot twists galore! OMG! I was totally captivated, riveted to my seat, white knuckling my ereader with my heart fluttering wildly in my chest while the pages flew as quickly as the time! It was FABULOUS and I loved every single minute!
But let's talk a few details... The Ravager Chronicles is an exciting, highly imaginative, fast-paced, well-crafted science fiction romance. The narrative is beautifully written in the first-person with a single perspective from the heroine Princess Ameia. Normally, I'll be the first to admit, I enjoy dual or multiple perspectives but this was basically Ameia's story and it worked in the context of this story and for me. I didn't feel like I was a missing a thing by only having one point of view. The dialogue was smart, snappy, well-executed, at times hilarious and flowed effortlessly. But my favorite element of this sexy romp was, without a doubt, the characters. I loved them all, even the bad guys! I was immediately drawn into this story on the very first page by Princess Ameia who found herself in quite the pickle. She'd just turned 18 and had only celebrated her birthday at a grand celebration the night before. She certainly never expected her wicked stepbrother to trick her onto a spaceship, then into an escape pod by feigning an emergency and launching it into space... and during her own party no less! Landing on a strange uninhabited planet in an antiquated escape pod with very little water, no edible food, and no real supplies, attired only in her pretty pink party dress, was certainly no day at the beach, especially after the huge purple alien showed up growling MINE! And did I mention he was naked?!? Oh dear! What's a princess to do? You'll have to read the series to find out!
Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! I would like to take a moment to include a little personal note about this story. The first book of the series, Princess SOS, was offered as a free download during an Amazon promotion which is how I came across this series originally. I did not know at the time it was not a standalone read and was somewhat perturbed when I got to the end and realized there was a cliffhanger but decided to check out the second book and discovered the remaining three books and the complete box set of the series was available in Kindle Unlimited so I immediately borrowed the entire collection and dove into Book 2, The Dark Princes. Don't stop reading at the end of Book 1. Personally, I was a little frustrated because the author did NOT include this information in the blurb for Princess SOS and she should have disclosed this to the readers. I almost didn't continue the story but I truly loved the story and felt compelled to see it through to the end and so glad I did! And the story just got better and better! We see a complete metamorphosis of young Princess Ameia as she grows and matures from a naive and somewhat selfish child to a wonderful heroic young woman. I completely fell in love with Ameia and all her mates. Would I recommend it? You bet and I am but only for adult readers who enjoy a whole lot of fun and a heaping helping of sex with multiple mates! That's right! Amelia has more than one mate, dearies! So, you better buckle up for this one! Will I read this author again? Abso-freak-lutely! As a matter of fact, as soon as I finish this review, I'm racing to Amazon to read Page's Moon Alley Series Box Set! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
