Barbarian's Choice

This is a wonderful story. I finally got some answers. This is so incredible. I was so happy to get the information that the author gave in this story. I love the story of Farley and her mate. It was incredibly touching to see how it would happen between them if one didn’t have a Kawee. That twist at the very end was very interesting and a great set up for what is to come. Absolutely love it!

4.5 stars — This was exactly what I needed after the emotional overload that was Ashe and Hemalo’s book. Not saying that there weren’t emotional moments in this one…but there was also a SCHWAKLOAD of laughter, and I adored that. Farli is just so naïve and innocent and just a ray of sunshine. I couldn’t stop delighting in her childlike wonder and brightness, and how she was fascinated by all the new things she was learning on the Lady. I don’t know how anyone could resist her, I really don’t. Basically, I have an epic girl crush. She was sweet, understanding, she felt so much…but she was also brave, and selfless, and epically curious. I also loved how uninhibited she was, probably b/c of the way she grew up in the tribe. Mardok had good points and bad points. I definitely felt for him and all he went through, and the emotional scars that his time in war had left him with. He needed Farli’s goodness, he deserved it. BUT OMG! It took him FOREVER to figure out that his choice was the selfish one, and it didn’t make any sense in the long run! I get why he was initially hung up, but honestly, he should have figured it out wayyyyy sooner IMO. That’s why I’m rounding down instead of up. They were fire together though. Their wildly different personalities complemented one another, and brought out the best in one another. All in all, I can see myself listening to this one again. It just left me feeling good and happy.

I enjoyed the book. Different story but, wonderful.
