Tracy St. John

We get to see the aftermath of the invasion of Earth by the Kalquorians. I'm sort of surprised and sort of not surprised that the Earther leaders went to the extent that they did. They were totally crazy. I mean, their cheese done slipped their crackers but good. And not, you know, in a fun way. It's all very scary. And just another reason to never trust those in charge.

I love Lindsey. I love her Clan too, except when they are being idiots, because, well, men are idiots. I want to be just show more like Tara, Lindsey and Jessica's Mom. She's just so peaceful and accepting, and amazing.

I am really like the series. show less

Another great entry into the Kalquor series. I really like Tracy St. John's books and her aliens, and even for more than the fact that they are 2x as endowed as your average man.

When I first read this series, I was surprised to see that it was written years ago, as it seems like it could be written today and the Earth's political and religious situation would seem like a natural output of things that are happening now.

I feel sorry for Cassidy, being locked into a convent because of her show more ultra-religious, ultra-conservative, and ultra-hypocritical grandfather. At least she figured out ways of getting around being locked into its stultifying atmosphere.

I generally like the Kalquorians, but I didn't like the standards they set forth on how to deal with Earther women who were repressed. I know that they are trying to help women, but nuns would be a totally different situation, and the guidelines set forth wouldn't work in the same way, I would think. Luckily, the Imdiko realized that and started doing other things. show less

Poor Dani. Everyone has let her down her entire life and she is incredibly impulsive. I can totally get that. That means that she makes some stupid mistakes though, like signing up to be an indentured sex worker in a brothel, or running away from the Kalquorian clan who purchased her contract from the brothel. She knows that the Kalquorians are her enemies and destroyed Earth, even if she had fun with them, so now that she doesn't have the tracking chip on her collar around her neck, she's show more going to run away and find a place where Earthers can be safe. However, it doesn't work that way.

I feel for Dani and she frustrates me too. She's much more competent than the Kalquorians give her credit for at first, but that doesn't mean that she didn't run away from them and end up on a ship that was falling apart and crashed on a dangerous moon. They do take good care of her though, even when she doesn't want them too.

I thought this was a good addition to the rest of the series. show less

3.5 Stars.
I really enjoyed Worlds Collide (Warriors of Risnar #3).
I could have sworn I had read this author before as I recognised the name but strange I don't seem to have: oh well no mind this was a great introduction to this particular authors work.
In my opinion, this can be read as a standalone: I managed quite nicely though in hindsight you would probably find it easier to follow along if you started at the beginning of this series.
A really imaginative take on the whole Alien show more storyline.
The basic premise here: our girl Velia is working as an engineer at camp Noname a secret base run by the top military brass: when she manages to get herself abducted and taken back to Risnar by a very sexy feline type extra-terrestrial through a portal that I can only describe as being very stargate in fashion.
There's suspense, mistrust, bigotry, romance and a whole lot of action here: in fact, this really ticked a lot of my boxes.
I do so love a good alien-human romance the only thing that let this down for me was I couldn't always get a clear idea in my own head of what these aliens looked like.
Yeh, I get the whole feline characteristics with stripes and super sexy ears but it was the whole body armour, lack of clothing, were they furry? and growing extra appendages.
I don't think it was explained here enough to get an actual visual.
The lack of clarification on the book cover didn't clear matters up for me either.
Maybe this was expanded on in the two previous instalments but as I haven't read them myself I don't really know if that's the case.
I myself would have just liked a tad more scope to let my imagination run free here.
I also thought Velia was a bit too naive and trusting in nature and I did find that somewhat irritating: not sure why that was?
Maybe that says more about me than the book.
Jape especially when he ditched the holier than thou attitude I also adored he could be so incredibly sweet and caring.
This had a real feel-good vibe to it that I really did like.
Taken as a whole I found this to be a very positive experience.
I voluntary reviewed an Arc of Worlds Collide (Warriors of Risnar #3)
All opinions expressed here are entirely my own.
