I had a hard time getting into this one, because ... frankly, the characters were dumb. So many of the awful things that happened to them were avoidable if they just got their shit together. They float along, doing what Captain Human Trafficker says, as if that's a good idea. And it is pathetic when you know the Drix MMC could literally wipe the floor with the whole lot of them and take their ship for himself.

Spoiler

Something he ultimately does in the end of the book... which makes it even worse. Like, hey yo, this book could have been 20 pages long with 100% less torture/abuse if you just did what EVERYONE KNEW YOU SHOULD DO right from the very beginning.

Also, I have to say that in the fantasy landscape, I don't have tolerance for you not killing an enemy after he attacks you and you stop him. If one thing is universally true in all books, it is this: the bad guy you decide to let go will ultimately come back to hurt you. Always.

So this was meh to me, because the leads were dumb. Just totally, completely, utterly dumb. Like, they have half the intelligence of a glazed donut. To illustrate my point, I share this gem: FMC is hiding from the enemy they didn't kill (eyeroll). She sneaks into MMC's cage. HAS SEX WITH HIM right there where anyone could come in at any moment. Runs to her hiding spot when they hear people coming. But stays just barely inside it (this air vent that she's been moving around the ship on, so like, not a cubby where there's nowhere else for her to go) so that said enemy can grab her and pull her out.

So if you were wondering how dumb they are...? That dumb.

Another great addition to this Alien world

I really enjoyed Fenix and Jennie's story - one that showed that even in the worst of situations, sometimes love can be found. This is a great addition to the Drixonian Warriors and Stolen Warriors series!!

Ugh. This is my least favorite of the series. Cage sex isn't hot, please stop writing it.

Like, EITHER she’s being held hostage in order to be traded for drugs, OR she’s stuck in a giant alien zoological exhibit but both in one book is a bit much.
