This story is very enjoyable, and the desert world is full of wonder. The author evidently didn't know where he was going in the first two chapters, then made a decision in chapter three and never went back to correct the mistake. The names are fantastic. I love the use the Turkish letter Ç. The flora and fauna are really interesting. I'll definitely finish this book.

Only one comment - the author totally sucks at love scenes. I actually broke out laughing very loudly at the ridiculous and cheesy descriptions :) You are reading along, it's an interesting book, and then when you least expect it - a bucket full of stinky cheese. It's like a quick switch to a different genre.

What the heck? Massive flaw, Chapters 1 & 2. Our protagonist is a gladiator defeating a much larger, stronger and male opponent. Fine. But after the match the owner of the gladiators descends to her locker room and they have sex while she is licking her wounds and catching her breath -- and oh, the author just has to describe her wiping the sperm off her thighs afterwards. Then the book switches to its actual arc.
