vickylou's review against another edition

There was a really odd feel to this for me. It seemed like there was an underlying tone of something bad was going to happen. Specifically with Nals and Charin... it really felt like something was being setup there. I didn't get that part of the story... this was the first Mahdfel male that felt... not honourable? He came across as a sleazy bully... it felt like there was more to his disdain of Mene than we were privy to. And Charin? First time I can recall coming across a nasty woman in this universe. They left a bitter taste and kind of tainted the whole read for me.
I also thought there would be a little more drama with Vince. I didn't get the point of that being included in the story and it made no difference whatsoever to the outcome of the tale.

Pleasantly surprised, funny and quirky with quietly sarcastic undertones.
Also, there is an alien soap opera called Endless Hope and Suffering and the characters are occasionally discussing the current story lines throughout all the series and I am ALL for it.
"That’s Doctor Ro—”
“Shirtless dude is a doctor?”
“He’s having a secret affair with that nurse, but she’s from the past. He doesn’t know that yet, but the other doctor, the one with the scar, he suspects that she’s the nurse who went missing twenty years ago. They used to be married. Or they were, before she traveled through time.”
“That’s stupid. Of course, they’re still married.”
“Well, he thought she died, so he remarried,” Hazel said.
“Wait, the guy with the scar used to be married to the time traveling nurse? And he hasn’t said anything?”
“No, shirtless guy used to be married to the time-traveling nurse. He thought she died. He remarried. Now he’s cheating on his second wife with his not-dead-time-traveling first wife.” Hazel hummed, clearly enthralled with the convoluted story.
“But he doesn’t know she’s the first wife?”
“Not yet. She keeps trying to tell him, but they get interrupted.”
“That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Now stop talking, I want to watch this.”
Pass the popcorn!

My favorite part of the story... Michael, her son. I liked the romance, but could have done with a lot more of it. There was a lot of push and pull and misunderstandng each other throughout the book. But Mene was a good guy, or uh...alien. Had a good family who welcomed Rosemary and Michael with open arms, not to mention how good Mene was to Michael.
I liked learning about some of the Mandrel history.
I definitely wanna go back and read Rosemary's sister's story in book 1.
