Amusing. Clever. Sexy.

‘Taken to Sasor’ has everything from intense battles to scorching hot love scenes. I had intended to read this over a couple days. Once the story got going, I couldn’t put it down. It is a page turner!

Throughout the book various battles were fought. The alpha males vying for mates and status. The amusing battles between Mian and Neheyuu. The internal struggle between Neheyuu and his altered forms.

Elizabeth Stephens cleverly includes themes of diversity and empowerment within her stories. Mian’s freedom to choose was stressed throughout the book. Mian is appreciated for her strong character throughout the book. Things like this make me wish I had books like this when I was a young adult.

One aspect in show more particular made ‘Taken to Sasor’ a great read: humour. Bits of laugh out loud hilarity were interspersed throughout the story. Below is one of my favourite lines:

“From the moment you hit me in the face, I liked you.”

All in all it was sviking awesome book!

First of all I was very confused for most of this book.
I have no idea of the relationship between this book and the previous ones in the series. And no idea what was going on at times or where they were.

It could have done with a prologue to update the reader on events so far.

There is constant pushing away from the Hero, push/pull so much so it was really irritating, it went on too long.

Plenty of other woman drama and interest from other males for the heroine too though there are no intimate scenes other than the Hero and heroine.

Virgin heroine.
Equivalent to man-whore type Hero as he has previously enjoyed his spoils of battle and women flock to him due to his position.

There were times when the Hero laughed or the heroine giggled and I show more didn't find the situation funny.


The worse thing about the book is obviously there are cultural differences and a huge language difference which can be interesting in a book but to have an alien Hero saying 'I dunno' really made me feel there was a lack of imagination on the author's part.

Big events happened and there was no discussion about what happened or what it meant as it was all kept for the big secret reveal later but it was unrealistic.
And the Hero is an idiot. I wished at one point she'd accept an offer from another male.

Lots of secondary characters that have potential for future storylines but not sure if that's on the cards.
This book felt, to me anyway, totally unrelated to the previous books in series.



HEA. But it's one of those books I felt the heroine might have been happy with someone else.


ARC. Sorry but it didn't work for me.
