Corsairs: Mathiras by Ruby Dixon

This whole series wasn't really for me, but this one was particularly rough. Helen is full-on Born Sexy Yesterday, and the childishness of her character isn't helped by either the MMC infantilizing her or Hollie Jackson doing a childish Marilyn Monroe voice for her. Made it all feel kinda creepy. And despite being an avid monster romance fan who wasn't even put off by spider men or inhuman anatomy in other books, somehow having a clit behind her ears and bunches everywhere else was just a bridge too far for me.
I had to put it down for literal months, and powered through the rest, but wanted to finish if only for the set-up for Ice Planet Clones. And of course Bethiah was a joy as always! But I agree with those saying this one was just too long. The ending especially felt dragged out. So while I wouldn't go so far as to say this is bad, and I didn't hate it, it was a very sort of Meh addition to my beloved IPB universe.
