A review by sleepey
Assimilation, Love, and Other Human Oddities by Lyn Gala
4.0
Really solid follow-up to "Claimings", moving forward with the world & concepts established in the first book. I was gripped the whole way through & actually ended up reading it all in one long sitting.
There are some issues though - I thought their conversations about certain things went around in circles a few too many times before coming to a point (hey did you know there's no Rownt word for war??), & the last few chapters feel less like the conclusion to this story, and more like just moving pieces around the board to set up the next one.
It's all still very interesting, & I still love the characters, but after the big climactic scene (which happens earlier than you'd expect), things just sort of taper off in a weird way. It's very much a middle instalment in a series, for better or worse.
