After reading Destiny's Fire last year, I couldn't wait to get my hands on another book about the Kythan and let me tell you Astarte's Wrath doesn't disappoint!I loved learning about the history of the Kythan because it makes me understand the world Destiny comes from. Seeing how the Shythe and Narcos used to somewhat get along and even work together before shows just how bad things escalated into in this time era. I found the slavery theme to be just as unique as I had found the Kythan race because it's not often that an author touches a subject like this. I find it interesting because we get to see different forms of slavery based on the way the author presents it. The fact that this theme added to the forbidden love story made it even better. Because even though the world is separated into different classes, there is still hope in humanity and hope that love can conquer. (Sounds cheesy haha but I love the cheese!!)Astarte's Wrath started off with a bang and never relented! I never wanted to stop reading because I had to know what was going to happen next! Action scenes are my favorite parts in books and I loved that there was action throughout. Especially with the Kythan powers!! I still get excited just thinking about how cool they are! Seriously. Probably my favorite paranormal creature out there.But the best part is that the action doesn't dominate the story. We get a little reprieve from the war and get to see Xarion and Star's relationship develop. Aww man I love them! I love their devotion and loyalty for each other, and even though this is a quick read, you can tell that they truly love each other without it being rushed or anything.Also I have to give praise to Trisha Wolfe!! The amount of research she must have done just to write this book is phenomenal! I can't even imagine how long that took but it makes Egypt come to life and truly pays off! Also, her writing is fantastic! She is quite the story teller and I can't wait to read more from her in the future!!All in all, Astarte's Wrath was a fantastic companion novel to Destiny's Fire! If you've read Destiny's Fire and loved it then you definitely don't want to miss this one! And if you haven't read either of them yet then you need to get on it!! This series is definitely one to watch because it is extremely unique and fun to read! I promise you won't find anything else like it! Gah! Can't wait for the next book!!
