After reading the other reviews I was hesitant in purchasing C.L. Scholey 'Impenetrable' (the third in the series) but I am very glad I did. It stayed in character with her other books of this series.Some of the other reviewers seemed to think that Jago and Cobra were trying to share her. That was not the case. Girls mature at 21 years of age whereas males mature (enter 'must') at 400. Jago was in his first 'must' - 400 years old. All of the females of this culture had been poisoned and died by the enemy when Jago was a child. Young men in their first 'must' rarely produce viable sperm. A 'must' is an uncontrollable urge to procreate and it begins at the age of 400. They absolutely needed every birth to count and preferable count with all girls.The leader, Cobra, stated because he already had a mate, who was carrying a female, he would impregnate Piper, the young female Jago had rescued. Since females were rare Jago feared if he gave her up he would never get her back which is true if the one to impregnant Piper was not mated. Cobra had a mate which means he wouldn't want to keep Piper. They explained this to Piper and gave Piper the choice. Piper asked Cobra what Cobra's mate would think about that and chose Jago.I thoughly enjoyed the story and hope there are more to follow.
