Review: More like Olivia than Heat
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 03 21, 2014
I loved Heat. I then read Olivia (like) and Cottonwood (got bored and never finished). This book is better than Cottonwood but not quite as good as Olivia.5 stars for world building - this author excels at that, even if you wish the characters and plots were stronger4 stars for characters - the hero was compelling - driven by a moral code that took some major blows but served him well throughout; the heroine was more flawed - she wanted to be a bada$$, but ultimately let everyone give her the shaft - her redemption lay solely with her relationship to the hero4 stars for plot - humans trying to get home, lizards looking for God - led to a lot of boredom until the humans got lost and Amber got stolen.3 stars for squishy stand on religion - the author really shoud have made her mind up on whether God is real in her world or not - could have tightened the book up instead of the drift caused by dreams, illusion and all sorts of deis ex machina.I'm glad I read it, and will continue to read this author.
