This was a pretty good read. I loved to see Beryl make the best of her situation. The complexity of the alien culture and learning that culture was the absolute highlight of this book for me.
I just don’t think that Beryl ever acted the way any human woman ever actually would in this situation. Her fear lasted for such a short period that it makes no sense, even if she was paralyzed by confusion she should have been showing much more fear. The loyalty that Beryl develops towards Zylar does make sense given how loyal people are, but it never seemed like he did anything to earn that loyalty.
Ultimately interested read. Very unique sexual component. Not for me.
