The Conditioning
Sarah and her brother Daniel’s lives have not been easy ones. They have experienced more hardships in their life than most and have always stuck together, but now their problems have only just begun. After being abducted by aliens, they are put through a painful, life-threatening experiment and then sold as slaves on an intergalactic slave market to different owners. As they are taken away, Daniel vows to find Sarah, no matter how long it takes. Neither of them are prepared for just how long that may be. They survived on Earth because they had each other. Will they survive in space, as slaves, without each other? Will they ever see each other again, or will the last image they have of one another be that of them being hauled off by an alien master?

Awesome
Can't wait for next book.
Awesome story. Writing was good. Really liked the lead characters. I'm invested in finding out what happens next.

The first book in this series started off pretty decent. We have siblings Daniel and Sar’rah (Nogard pronunciation) who are abducted, experimented on and sold into slavery separately. There is a warning for the book about posssibe triggers, everything happens off screen, but it is implied what happens.
We have multiple POV’s, which I enjoyed but because of this certain details have to be skimmed over or just talked about in passing for the reader to know what transpired, it was an effective time lapse strategy. Daniel’s experience as a slave compared to Sar’rah’s was a walk in the park.
Not saying his experience isn’t noteworthy, but Sar’rah really was put through some stuff which was I believe was based on her being a woman. Her character development did not happen which is understandable, she’s better but those mental scars needs to be addressed. Aside from that she comes off as very naive, at times young even though she’s older than she looks, she frustrated me to no end.
Daniels character is pretty straightforward, earn his freedom, find his sister and figure what to do after that. Which doesn’t go as plan per se, his character development was minimal aside from his increase confidence based on the trials he’s been through.
Through the last quarter of the book I struggled to finish, I was contemplating not reading the next book when it comes out, but the cliffhanger at the end changed my mind. Based on how the second book progresses, I’ll see if I finish it or not.🤷🏽♀️
