A review by raven168
War for Earth by Erin Raegan
3.0
I am so extremely conflicted about this book. I am in love with this story and how the author writes. But I absolutely hated what she did here. The Pythe/Pythen bond is such a huge deal and super important, so I was kind of ticked off that she created this shared bond with two males for one female. This practically tries to negate the whole point of the bond even existing if it's not one for one. Plus it simply didn't make sense with how these guys get when they find their mate. Despite being super hot, Please. No more like this. I was incredibly frustrated too because Fihk and Olynth each deserved their own book and female. Fihk because he's such a great guy, and Olynth because I could just see how him having his own would help him heal in many ways. It didn't help that I might have kind of hated Bailey. Okay, towards the very end she was a little more likable. But for the vast majority of the book I could not stand her!
Bailey was a foster kid that went from one bad house to the next. So she's developed a serious attitude problem and major distrust of everyone. The only good in her life would be her "brother" who was a foster kid in the same house for a few years until Bailey was old enough to be kicked out. When the Vitat attacked, it was for him that she ran to first. And together they have been fighting for survival. Until her brother manages to bring them to the attention of the new purple aliens.
Olynth quickly finds himself with a mate that he does not want. He's got a terrible past that we eventually get the cliffnotes version of, and it has given him no desire for a mate and the strength to resist his mating urges. Doesn't stop him from being practically attached to Bailey though.
Fihk is acting commander while Tahk is on Home World, and he's vowed to find Peyton's mother. He will get Bailey's help in this whether she agrees or not, and after she realized this group of Dahk can protect her and her brother better than she can, she agrees.
It's not long until all hell breaks lose and Fihk finds out that Bailey is his mate as well. Unfortunately he does not have the control Olynth does and he attacks Bailey in his need to have her. Messing with her mind and her destroying her trust in the Dahk. From there it's a lot of Bailey trying to figure out how to deal with these two huge aliens that have claimed her and her feelings for both of them. She's obviously conflicted about loving two guys, but their hostility towards each other over her doesn't help.
Besides all this relationship business, there is still the war against the Vitat. Fihk is doing all he can within his restrictions but it's not enough. It's not until the Kilbus Lord, Kil, shows up that things move forward on that front. But even as things start to look up with relations between the Dahk and the humans, humans are so goddamn stupid that they try to ruin things again. Throw in the betrayal of some of the Dahk, and things go up and down an awful lot until finally everything calms down after one last calamity. Bailey makes her choice on where she wants to live and it's time for the three of them to figure out a life together.
I love love LOVE Kil and I am desperately hoping he gets his own book and soon. Until then I will take Vivian and Hector's book next and keep looking forward to more.
