Not much romance, but a pile of questions

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2021

If you compared any of the first 5 books in this series to this one, you'd probably think they weren't in the same series. And I think that might be right.

MC is talented, and this series is no exception to that. But somewhere during the last few volumes, this series has derailed. What was once a series about a desperate male-dominated culture trying to rebuild through love has become a political/sci-fi/mystery with more loose ends than a bowl of spaghetti.

Spoilers ahead.

This volume presents a hot couple who mostly try to delay sex for odd reasons until they arrive on his home planet. The central "mystery" is the H is that he's a Vorr, an unexplained race with unexplained abilities, who number very few for unexplained reasons, on a dying planet, and you guessed it, for unexplained reasons. The h is some kind of spy called a "nomad," that answers to no one and takes no orders. She showed up a couple of books back with a mission to find out who's killing new settlers and taking over their settlements. Who gave her those orders and why are unexplained. What she was supposed to do eith this intel is never explained. Her backstory is never made clear. At the very end of the book she does finally speak to another nomad who turns out to be the current earth world president. Until now, that character was viewed as a good guy and voice of reason who works honorably with the Lathar emperor. But the weirdly written one page scene between the h and the world prez puts him in a shadowy new light. Wha?????

And this volume continues the trail involving an AI who once was the emperor's twin sister, who pops up now and then. She's pretty much a unicorn device to get main characters out of impossible situations, and may or may not have the answers to all questions ever posed. Whatever.

I didn't feel there was any romance or discovery between the H and the h. They never revealed themselves to one another, even in the epilogue that occurred one year later (a device not used in any other volume in this series). I guess I'm missing the romance on that.

A series can include many kinds of plot devices for sure. But a romance, supposedly at the core of things, should be something other than a throw-off. If MC wanted to write a mystery series, she should have done that outside of this one. I'm not at all clear on what this series is supposed to be now.

I love this series, but I don't understand this book. Did Daaynal ever see Murphy's companion? What happened with the conversation with Risyn and Daaynal? Yes, there was a "summery" in a conversation with Risyn and Berrick, but who knows what the conversation was all about. We know Daaynal wanted to know if they found his sister and I can't see him taking an "explaination" that she is just an AI well, as pointed out by Berrick in THEIR conversation. Where is the AI now? Did she disappear again? Are they done looking for her or looking harder now that they know she exists? Is the planet destoyed? What about all the expensive crops they need for medicine (and perfumes)? Where are Gracie and Seren living now? What happened to Tarveth? IS Cam Murphy an alias and what kind of person is he really? What is a Vorr? What are the Earth counterparts like with the dragons? Are they vampires, why do they have larger bottom teeth also if they are? It's also implyed that there are other Vorr, but not all of the few warriors that live at the settlement are Vorr? I'm also throwing in when Gracie screams at Seren for not telling her he's a Prince to trying to sooth him that she hasn't looked at another man since she met him. She's wimpy whiny and not the Gracie in the previous books that let up to this one. I prefer the first book when Cat gets to shoot someone at her wedding and everyone is in awe of her. Yeah, those women were strong, they didn't need to grovel.

In the last couple of years and last 4 or so lathar books they have changed. Now the women supposedly so strong and adept end up letting them run everything without apology. The Lathar does not let them decide and the women all apologize and tell them they love them 1st. And the males nothing. Just like another series she has began the women do not have a choice and is not respected. I loved the way Mina wrote a strong and respected woman that was met halfway by her man. Not 1 that took every decision away and it was ok cause he supposedly loved her after breaking her heart. I miss her earlier writings.

I have followed this series from the beginning and it never disappoints (there are few authors/series that I will blindly pre-order, this is one). The characters catch your attention immediately, the writing is well done, not overly flowering and without a lot of "padding", ie, constant reminders of a " secret", etc to pad the word count. While the couple does have a few rough spots (of course), it is nothing that can't be overcome and without a lot of annoying whining!

This is the story of Gracie and Seren. The story is interesting as are the characters. There’s a lot of action and romance. This book is exactly what I would expect from this author. It’s a good read. I saw only very few proofreading errors. Mud was spelled mid. There may have been a couple more but they weren’t bad at all. If you’re reading the Warriors of the Lathar series I recommend this one. There are sexual scenes that may offend some readers.

MS Carter sure knows how to get the reader hooked on her books! It's because she is an amazing writer! I can't honestly say that any books in this series is anything less than a great read. There's great character building and story development that just pulls the reader in and keeps you interested and coming back for more..

Gracie and Seren

So I have read all the other books in the series, but this one confused me at the beginning. I could not figure out what point in time the book was set it. Then I realized it after the last book, not occurring simultaneously with the last one.

The rest of the story was good but it left questions that hopefully will be answered by the next book.

What is a Vorr?

This story has such an interesting dichotomy. Usually we see the heroine being self-conscious and feeling not good enough for the gorgeous hero, while the hero is a bad ass with a past to hide. This book flips that. It also goes farther into the past of the Lathar people.

Take a species of Aliens with procreation problems, mix in Human females… The results are highly explosive. First contact with the Lather were military personnel. The women in particular are not the submissive, delicate, weak beings expected. Just gets better from first contact!
