Taken to Heimo by Elizabeth Stephens
2.0
2.5 stars
I enjoyed this one more than Taken to Voraxi, but there were still some of the same issues with this one. The repetitive dialogue, the fictitious alien languages, and Krisxox’s mispronunciations of human words got old sort of fast.
However, I really enjoyed Svera and Krisxox’s relationship. It’s clear they really care for each other and it’s the kind of “enemies” to lovers story I like. Also, the sex scenes were hot.
I could’ve done without so many times Svera was out in peril, but I appreciate her hero moments. We see her intelligence, compassion and leadership several times. I can’t speak to the representation regarding her head scarf, but I think this could be a good counter to people whoa eve they can’t include this kind of rep because “it’s a fantasy setting”. The incorporation of religion was well done, to my knowledge. However, I’m an agnostic so, do with that what you will.
