It has some very weird and potentially disturbing situations in it.
The emotional depth of their feelings for each other, as well as for two more "pets" and their master is believable and moved me to tears at the end. When he meets fellow "pet", Mark, he finally gets some explanations. Dale is captured by the Terrans' enemies, the Algonquans, but he is not a political prisoner, he is now a "breeder pet". I think that may be why the author spent a lot of time and effort on explaining the details. The whole situation the main character, Dale, finds himself in is just too weird for words. I must admit that it didn't feel like it at the time of first reading it. A very essential set-up, but I can only say that with the benefit of hindsight. I admit that I found it very hard to get into, most of the first half of it felt like a set-up for the rest. This is a great book which took me totally by surprise. I was left satisfied, completely! It's definitely a story I will be revisiting in the future. But the ending was perfect for this tale. I won't tell you that the story is without it's flaws the use of the term "milker" was a bit jarring to be honest, but not enough to put me off. She takes us on a journey of love, growth and adaptation to all things strange and beautiful. Tymber Dalton invites us into this wonderful, exciting and alien world and makes us at home there. The relationships between them all is varied and not textbook standard or carbon copied. They all have their flaws, none are too perfect to be true. They have been written with a beautiful touch. And I don't cry easily over a story!īut these characters really got to me. lol! When the tears started, everyone was asleep thankfully, so they couldn't make fun of me. I didn't want to put it down resented the kids for expecting me to cook dinner. Well this book truly was on the love side of things. Tymber Dalton is a hit or miss kind of author for me. This was a book I was actually reluctant to start reading.
