I am just loving this author so far with these two books. The characters and the world are so believable and totally entertaining. I really only have one gripe with this book. I am so tired of every single time two vastly different cultures come together in a relationship like this that the female always gets the male to go against what his people would do in a specific situation. In general I'm okay with it, but what I'm talking about is when the guy goes after an enemy. No matter how close to death the girl comes, she always wants her mate to forgive the offender or go easy on them no matter what the rules of their people are. I thought for once that Tahk would follow thru with what he planned against the one who hurt Peyton....but noooooo. She had be all martyr and shit and want him to be lenient. And he was. UGH.
Anyway. This time around we are on the Dahk homeworld. A freezing cold and dangerous place for Peyton to be sure. I was very curious if the multiple mate thing would be addressed that was mentioned in the first book, and boy was it. For some time I was really annoyed with how Peyton was acting towards Tahk. It was immature and stupid. But after they got to homeworld, I slowly started to get back on her side with how she was treated or expected to be. Loving a Dahk is most definitely hard for a human girl. Fortunately for Peyton, she at least has a couple people on her side. And eventually has her terrifying Commander back as well. Which is something she desperately needs to survive this world when enemies are everywhere.
Tahk is still one hell of a man, and his decisions regarding Peyton more than prove it. Oh yes, he's one hell of a catch. Tahk has his hands full between trying to take care of his mate, find out who killed his king, and convince the council to save Earth. He does it all quite well too. But when it comes out what his dead king had done and what he was really like, he finds it near impossible to believe. But it all makes sense. Now he just has to fix it. Throw in some ominous words from a terrifying enemy and you have a recipe for disaster.
It's so interesting how well this author can put so much politics into a book and not have it take away from the story. In fact, it's so integral to it and makes it that much more. There's lots of fighting, some laughing, and a horrible turn of events with Viv's fiance. While I am incredibly sad that this seems to be the end of Tahk and Peyton being the main characters, I am most definitely looking forward to the next book.
