the little bookish

3 stars

It should be three-point-five but GR doesn't have it and I wanted to give it four but it didn't reach to my level of satisfaction so... yeah.

What I Liked.

It was better than previous book. The book was a good read solely for enjoyment but not so on the quality though. It was quick read too! I finished reading it less than 24 hours.

I liked the heroine at first because she gave me an impression that she was a strong person, a fighter. She was indeed a strong one. It was just that she wasn't strong enough to my liking. Actually I was hoping she was an assassin. She did give a vibe of some sort. At least that would probably make things more interesting.

Another interesting part was that there was a forced seduction involved where the heroine had a total control over her cyborg. It got me giggling a lot during reading the part. Thumbs up for that, very unique.

Unlike previous male cyborg, Steel didn't prefer to bond with human female. He was all about honor and his service to his people regardless of his wants and needs. However, that changed though after Rena was given to him as a gift by Flint.

I somehow developed fondness with computer-talking Pod 3. Don't ask me why because I'm clueless myself.

What I disliked.

I got bored with the settings took place in this book. If it weren't in spaceship or in this case, Steel's bedroom, it'd be in the Garden, cyborg's world. I needed complex exploration. Yes, I'm that curious.

This cyborg polygamy stuff is started to get on my nerves. If the story was on cyborg people alone, with such lifestyle I wouldn't bother to make sense of it and I probably ignored it best. However, since humans were involved too, it was hard to put aside the distaste feeling.

There was no glimpse of previous couple and it was frustrating as well. Seriously, I'd love to know what happened to them.

......

I hope the series gets better as it goes. I loved Laurann Dohner's Zorn Warriors series and I hope to love Cyborg series too.

Read on your own peril.
