I keep forgetting how much I enjoy this book (yes, it's fluff, but it's nicely-done fluff!) and culling it...then I have to find it again. I have all three books, I'm not letting them go again. Wish there were more... This book was marketed as a romance, but it isn't really. There's certainly no happy-ever-after at the end; they've made steps (Rheba's made steps) towards understanding what the relationship can be, but it's still totally up in the air. As a pulpy SF adventure, it's great - Rheba is the primary protagonist, with Kirtn as a secondary protagonist and a lot of well-drawn secondary characters - Fssa, Ilfn, the J/talls...Lekhet is a total cipher, though - he doesn't even speak. Trauma, I guess, but that's mostly ignored - the fact that he's blind is important, the fact that an 11-year-old boy doesn't speak and clings is merely a fact. If I recall correctly, he becomes more of a person in the later books. Fun, will read the others, will _keep_ the series this time so I can reread it again later! no reviews | add a review

Behind them lay death, before them the universe. . .The Senyas dancers -- they practiced their unique skills on their home planet, Deva, their smooth skin glowing with complex energy patterns as they learned the power dances and mentally mastered the elemental forces of Nature. And the Bre'n mentors--large, fur-covered humanoids, they were the only living beings who could control and channel the power fo a Senyas dancer. Yet Bre'n and Senyas together could not save Deva from becoming a flaming inferno devoured by its own greedy sun. Somehow two survived -- Rheba the fire dancer and Kirtn, her Bre'n companion. Their world had died but they swore their people would not, and together they set out to search the star system for others of their kind. But the twisted trail they followed soon forced them into the clutches of evil Loo-chim, galactic slavers form whose stronghold no one had ever escaped alive. . . No library descriptions found.

Noted during my 1980's attempt to read every book in my small town library. ( )
