Story felt rushed, wished it were longer.

The further into the series I get the more of it I crave. Sadly, that is starting to be for the wrong reasons, seeing as I feel like the story didn’t give as much as the previous books, leaving me a bit unsatisfied with it. That’s not to say it wasn’t a good read. I really liked The New King and the romance even more so. However I didn’t fall in love with it. <br /><br />It felt so rushed. That was the problem for me. Sure, the books in this series are purposefully short and while I prefer longer stories I don’t mind them being shorter that much. The previous books have compensated for it well with so much complexity, twists and addictive drama that made them feel like full length novels anyway. No such luck with The New King though. Sure, there were some drama, some twists and disagreements there, but they were so minimal and rushed through that it didn’t really feel like they were there. A lot of intense and compelling scenes that could have set a good and impactful tone to the story were recapped instead of written out and that just removed the struggle and impact all together. It made it feel like the story jumped from struggle to conclusion immediately and let’s be honest. That just removes all the passion and excitement from the story. <br /><br />This made the romance both the strongest and the weakest aspect to the story. For one, because of the recapping and rushed storytelling it gave the book very little else to do in terms of plot except developing the romance. While I for the most part enjoyed the romance between Mona and Uthyf that sadly also suffered because of the recaps and rushness. It had a very thrilling beginning with them bickering for a second (which we only knew they did a lot through recap) and then suddenly in agreement and liking each other the next second. Then they got bonded and then suddenly it was weeks later and they were completely at ease with their mating. This sucked a lot of investment from me. Sure, I still liked them together and all the sweet moments between them, but I also missed out on so much that I never felt like I got to know them separately and together. For a character that had been through torture (and a word Amazon won’t let me write out) and for a King under constant pressure of a civil war, procuring an heir and following the culture of several mates, none of them were shown really struggling through any of this. With such deep characters there were a lot of expectations for these conflicts and twists to take place, if only it been given any room for it. <br /><br />Despite all this I will still give The New King four stars. All books can’t be winners and although it might not seem like it I did like the book a lot with the darker character, the romance (when it was given room for development), Alyn’s part in the story and of course seeing the previous main characters. I weren’t given the chance to love this book, but it did build up the excitement and expectation well enough to fall for the next book in the series.

This has been my fav out of all the books so far. The love story is just so sweet, heartfelt and endearing and I just wanna smush Mona and Uthyf and protect them both forever!!!

Continue to be fascinated by the story telling and this series.

Another amazing installment of the wonderful Galactic Order series. In this book we meet Mona, a human female survivor of physical, emotional, and mental abuse. She was a captive of the evil Juldo Master tortured and beaten. She was rescued along with other human females and decides to stay on Home World under the protection of the Dahk in the royal palace.At first she hesitates in getting to know the Dhak and steers clear of them. As she gets to know more about the Dhak and specifically the young king Uthyf, she starts to see Home World as more than just a refuge. Though she and Uthyf are constantly at odds with each other, what she doesn't know is that Uthyf has a good reason for keeping cold and distant. As a young king in tumultuous time for his planet, Uthyf feels he must mate a Dhak female and give the planet a Dhak queen. Tensions against the strange humans are high and he doesn't need to add to the turmoil by mating a human. They fight the attraction they feel for each other, but eventually the inevitable happens and they become mated. Old enemies return with new alliances, and traitors are revealed, making this an exciting story that you will not put down. You will find yourself rooting for the troubled couple and hate all that is Juldo!

Great read! I zipped right through this addition to the Galactic Order series. What made this book such a page turner is the fabulous heroine and her wonderful character development and story. All the Pythes (mates to Dahk aliens) in this series have been unique and strong but Mona tops them. I also always appreciate and find interesting culinary elements thrown into plots, stories and books. <br />Possible Spoiler:<br />I would like to thank Ms Raegan for the additional chapter following The End (For Now). I kept waiting for the description of what had happened when Mona first came to Home World, as what happened that night was often referred to. Also, it was very apparent from the onset that Uthyf knew she was to be his, just as Mantu said.

<strong>Great step forward</strong><br /><br />Mona is the Queen he didn’t know he needed. I think she will help both humans and dahk alike see they need each other. That not all will be against having a second wife or two husbands. I think it will be interesting to see a human male and dank female come together. <br />

<strong>Uthyf and Mona</strong><br /><br />I really liked this installment of the series. Uthyf is the king of Home World and Mona is his reluctant human queen. There are several obstacles they have to conquer before they get their version of a HEA. Great story!
