Work InformationThe Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley
   No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) Tooba.B | May 25, 2023 |  Adult Erotic Fantasy/Paranormal Romance Suspense 5.5 *TSR 1st I am going to address the problem of having one of the main characters speaking a different language than the other main character and how Ms. Ashley dealt with it. Throughout the most part of the story whenever the Korwahkian language is used she annotated it with the translation at the end of the section or chapter. Towards the end of the story the Korwahkian words are translated after they are spoken. Lastly, she gives us a Korwahk/English dictionary at the end of the story. I admit that it can be annoying to not know what one main character is saying until the end of a section, however, for me it allowed me to get more into the situation Circe found herself. She did not speak Korwahkian. Therefore, when it was spoken to her she had to rely on reading the person's actions to understand what they were trying to communicate to her. And for her, it was very frustrating. Not only could she not understand them, they could not understand her. It made the story more emotional for the reader since you were right there with her experiencing that same frustration. Added to her frustration, she was from an entirely different world. Transported somehow from a modern world of cars, air conditioners, and women's rights, to a world that was savage and primitive beyond her worst nightmares. And she is stuck there. Definitely a horrifying situation. And I LOVED EVERY WORD! I found it extremely well written. The suspense is off the charts. The romance is definitely erotic. The emotional roller coaster has so many ups and downs you get dizzy with it. The things that happen to Circe are sometimes shocking, sometimes horrifying and sometimes beyond beautiful and wonderous. I can't wait to read the next book in this series. It has blown my expectations away.
