Helpful Score: 2

While this book is a continuation of the first book I truly enjoyed it. This book not only deals with the adjustment issues of the women taken from earth, it also deals with issues of prejudice, distrust, and the difficulties in building and keeping relationships. I thought the author did a very good job of building this world and showing the complex emotions, fears and insecurities that individuals have that come into and affect relationships. She does a good job of balancing the sex out with what I felt were very good representations of the difficulties of balancing different cultures, beliefs, thoughts, and feelings in different types of relationships from romantic, familial and friendship. I couldn't help but want to pump my fist and was thinking "you go girl!" when Thea and Deashen's mother get into a confrontation. I was impressed with the way the author balanced Thea's vulnerability and insecurity not only from her "transplantation", but also the attack on her, with the strength she showed in facing off with Deashen's mother. I loved the conversation between Thea and the Queen as well. Thea showed her steel core and still maintained a certain grace that only left me feeling respect for Thea. I definitely felt it was a great read and well worth the money.
