3.5 starsi got this (as well as Jewel of atlantis) for xmas and had read The Vampire King (layels story) before and liked it but had read a snippet of this one and was hooked i really wanted to read this one next (though out of sequence it doesnt seem to affect the story which i like) and was as good as i thought i loved the passion and chemistry between valerian and shaye .. you could Fell it emulating from the book from the moment ya met ...and yes he is an arrogant cocky guy whos unbelievebly good
I was so excited about this book when I read the blurb and few reviews. I wanted to jump into what seemed at the time awesome story. But sadly I was disappointed. To be honest I skimmed the whole book and even dropped it almost at the end. I couldn't stand Shaye and her reason was a too weak one to excuse her behaviour towards a man who truly cared for her. I mean, I get you'd be ticked off when someone took you agains your will and threw you into a whole new, to you alien, word. But there has
A fairly typical Showalter romance novel. Lots of smut in this one; not really much of a plot persey. But it delivers enough to make me read to the end. One thing I wish Showalter did with these books is that we got to see more of our past characters (the women in particular) that cross with the new characters being introduced. But I hope that comes later in the series. This is only book 3 after all.
I was really shocked at how much I disliked this book, as I've loved everything else Ms. Showalter has written.The lead character is controlling, abusive, narcissistic, and he ABDUCTS his "mate" who assaults him physically to try to escape. I got 1/3 through the novel and was horrified at the control he was using against her, and words like "obeying" etc. It was just a horror. Her attempts to survive and go back to her life are called "stubbornness", which implies he knows what is best for her,
Intrigued by the "myth" of Atlantis? Always wanted to know more about nymphs? Dying to read a book with a heroine who manages fairly well to resist an irresistible hero?Then you would love this book. Valerian is the Nymph King, irresistible to all womenkind. I was prepared to dislike Valerian, considering that he starts the book in bed with not one or two women, but three. The sneer arose on my lips at this point, yet I still kept reading. This woman is a good writer. She held my attention, and
Valerian, king of the Nymphs, has never had to work at getting a woman, but he has to work for Shaye, a human and his mate. I love it!! Not even Poseidon can interfere. A good continuation of the Atlantis series. She is untouched by any man until him, and he has bedded anything that came near him for centuries. Complete opposites, but very compatible in all ways. Great read!!
