A review by mnwakeford
Claimed by the Horde King by Zoey Draven
4.0
Even better than the first book in the series
While I quite enjoyed the first book in this series, I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue reading the next books about the Horde kings of Dakkar. I'm glad I finally got round to the second book though, because this one is a lot better than the first. There are a lot of similarities in terms of the plot - a desperately hungry and downtrodden girl living in a human settlement on the alien planet of Dakkar who is taken away by a horde king after breaking one of their rules. I thought the characters in this story were better fleshed out, particularly Seerin, the "self-made" horde king, who grew up in the slums of the capital city, Dothir. There was just the right amount of angst and a very sweet and poignant love story at its heart. I enjoyed this one and will definitely be reading the next installment.
