2.0
This is the first book in a new series that suffers from a classic case of way to much going on. For example our hero is both a alien and a God.
And while these God’s have ruled over humanity, they are from a pantheon invented by the author. In addition to the new pantheon, there are several invented terms, which means a lot of glossary checking for the reader. The heroine had been forewarned as a child that she is the reincarnation of this alien/god’s lost love so Ismini doesn’t completely freak out. That is fine, but why one of her best friends gets dragged along with her to the spaceship/alternative realm is beyond me.
So much information is thrown at us, but most of it doesn’t help with moving the story along or character development. Some nimor things dealing with this story are told in detail, while important things are glossed over. The brief telling of what happened to Dyletri’s lost love was silly, the man was way over 2 million years old when he met the woman. While it was clear how she could be so affected by him, why this woman left such an impression on him was left out. The sex scene’s were sort of hot. I wish Dyletri’s verbal seduction of Ismini had been more eloquent. His constant use of word’s like “babe” made him seem more like a frat boy instead of an ancient god of fertility.
I will not be continuing on with this series, and I doubt I will be reading anything else from this author.
