Futuristic romance by Jess Granger, and sequel to Beyond the Rain. I am only halfway through the book. Yara is from the female dominant planet of Azra, and in line for the throne. She is also an officer in the military. Cyn, is also from Azra, but masquerading as Human. His goal is to cause civil war on Azra and break the Female Dominant ways. Yara thinks Cyn is a Human cargo hauler giving her a ride home. She gets kidnapped, and sold to Slavers. There are parts of the book that I feel to not come together, and I find offensive. As Cyn barters with a flesh trader, in an effort to rescue Yara he thinks, " She was too beautiful to suffer this way." What??? If she were plain or unattractive, it would be OK?? I think the author has lost me here. Second, if Yara is such a strong female, trained fighter and warrior, why does she fall apart emotionally when faced with adversity? Where is the anger,the strenght of will to save herself? I'm sorry to say, I'm not impressed thusfar. Beyond the Rain was better.
