Pathfinder's Way
by T.A. White
First off, I think this author has a thing for romances starting off with abductions (ew), but Shea was such a well developed and interesting character that I was hooked. Luckily, this one is an extremely slow burn, where the romance is unfortunately more like an immediate obsession for Fallon, and an almost ... Stockholm syndrome type of acceptance on Shea's part. Really not a fan of the romance, but it is what it is. Fallon is as standard as it gets. I wish there was more banter and just... Equal footing between them. While Rules of Redemption had the love interest court the protagonist, this one basically gave her no choice in anything. It's ultimately because Shea is lonely and wanting a place to belong that she accepts his marriage offer.
With that out of the way, amazingly well done look at how so many people may accept a conquering army's presence and want to join a stronger, healthier empire. There's something really tragic about the colonization that happens, and yet the author spins it into fire burning the ground to make way for something new.
The concept of scouts and Pathfinders being such integral and valued parts of society was really interesting. I don't think I've ever seen it, and honestly it such an accurate look at what is required to really establish a society. I can't even imagine not having Google maps tell me where to go, much less decipher a map that someone drew up based on their own travel and not a bird eye's view.
Once again, this book is heavy on the male presence, with the one other significant female presence being a non-entity. As well, the side characters were pretty interchangeable. But somehow, even with all it's flaws, I think it was a great book that drops you right into survival and camping and wilderness.
