review 1: I like reading more about the Hirachi. Great world O'Connor's developed here. Very interesting to see the planet resume years (?) after the end of the first book. (I'm thinking years for two reasons: 1, because of the underwater village. Was it built already in book #1? and 2, I don't remember any characters from book #1 showing up in book #2...though it *has* been a while since I read the first book.) I've gotta say that I didn't like this second book as much as the first. It felt long and stringy, like O'Connor could've cut out *lots* of the middle section and focused more on the relationships instead of the world building.Again, it was good to see a take-charge, Alpha female lead.I was wondering where the big Problem was going to come from. Imagine my surprise when no s... moreuch Problem ever arose. That was strange to contemplate, to be honest. So much focus on overcomplicated relationships. I do, however, really like the relational dynamic between Miranda and all of her men. I like that they mostly got equal treatment, and that there wasn't necessarily a tidy HEA with one man and one woman riding into the sunset.In this case, I was totally fine with four men and one woman swimming into the sunset. Good - not great - read.
review 2: First read Oct 2011 but never left a review.After two unsatisfying books in a row, I decided to re-read one of my favorites. I enjoyed the creative world-building and Miranda's badass attitude. I love the she didn't take any crap from the 'bimbo' group. There was a lot of introspection in this story. A bit too much at times. I wished the human women would've sat down with Hirachi and ironed out their differences. It would've save everyone a lot of time and confusion. As a POC I could've done without the 1950s longing though. If you weren't a white man during that time, you were essentially screwed when it came to choices. The spawning scene was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing. All in all, a great book. Love the writing, despite the editing errors. If the cover different, more people would buy this story. less
