Inheritance by Jennifer Foehner Wells
5.0
It took me 12 days to tear through every last book and short story written by Jennifer Foehner Wells so far. The majority of her books and stories are in an interconnected world. In the short story, [b:The Grove|24930297|The Grove|Jennifer Foehner Wells|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1431966339s/24930297.jpg|44585223], we get the origin story of Hain who is one of the major characters in this book. And we encounter characters from the series that begins with [b:Fluency|22566044|Fluency (Confluence, #1)|Jennifer Foehner Wells|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1403451883s/22566044.jpg|42028608] in the final chapter of this book.
I found this book to be predictable, but it was still enjoyable. It's only after Darcy is abducted by a slaver spaceship that she discovers that she inherited alien druid genetics from both of her parents. This makes her a highly sought after prize because her genetic inheritance brings with it special physical abilities she's never known that she had. For some reason, I started out reading the title of this book as "The Druid Games". I think it would have been an apt title because it shares some qualities with [b:The Hunger Games|2767052|The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)|Suzanne Collins|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1447303603s/2767052.jpg|2792775]. To say more would be a spoiler. But if you're looking for a self-capable, kick-@$$ female heroine in a sci-fi novel, you need to look no further. If you like forest survival tales (especially on other planets with strange flora and fauna), then this is also a book you'd enjoy.
If you want to get started with this series, I suggest the following order for maximum effect:

Reading 3, 4, 1, 2 would also work.
So now I'm experiencing a little bit of Series Letdown Syndrome where I'm sure that nothing I could read could possibly be as interesting as the world I've left behind. I'm just crossing my fingers that the next book in the Fluency series comes out within the next couple of months as originally planned. It's almost unheard of for me to enjoy a series past about book #2, so this is a rare author for me.
