If you read the first one, you already know 'what happens' in this one. Basically, Kim becomes Empress. We knew that before the book even starts, so its not a spoiler because the beginning is when she's holding Destiny.The reason I can't rate this book higher is because... it wasn't as good as the first one. I really liked 'Grim' and found that although the heroine had a tendency to speechify (esp. at the end) and thus subdue a patriarchy, I liked it. I really liked the interaction between characters, her daughters (THANK YOU--moderately acceptable writing of children!), and the fact that it was an alien-kidnapping romance ++++ world building/alien sociology, etc.
But Wray.... although it kind of added to the world building in terms of better understanding the 'laws' of the Torian culture, didn't meet the expectations of the first book. Firstly, it was a LOT more exposition and less interaction between characters. Even when it was just Kim and Wray. We were in his head, in her head, but rarely did it seem it was between them. There was what seemed to be the 'token' other-female-alien friend, and the usual confusion about whether the other guys in the story could rape the heroine or not... not cool. I also wanted more about how Kim wouldn't tell them where Earth was. That seemed a huge point in her favor in book one and barely touched upon in this book. And another problem I had was how the Healer seemed so very skeezy in this book becomes okay in the previous one? confusing.
Personally, I liked it, but it Grim will be my favorite--although I'm hoping for a Rebecca (or was it Rachel?) & Callen book 3. (This comment is made because her named switched back and forth--there are other editing errors to be overlooked as well).
Still, rather enjoyable.

Wray Tornians Book 3 edition by MK Eidem Romance eBooks Reviews
I'm torn over this book. Some things I did like, some things I'm iffy on, but it did keep me reading! What I didn't care for or what I wish had been a little different From the sample you know the heroine is abducted from Earth by aliens different from the H's people, and you know that she is raped and beaten for several days, maybe even a couple of weeks. I felt that her trauma was a little too easily gotten over. I just felt that there needed to be more time to adjust and to get back to herself. I think she's with the hero only about a week? or so once he rescues her, and she's already falling in love with him, and he with her. That felt kind of soon. I wanted that paced out a bit more, the love and the build up to sex.
Also, I was confused about how Tornians feel about females. It's explained that females are respected and cherished and sought after, virtually having all the power in that relationship, being able to pick and choose males to mate with at will. But then, it seems any female who is not Tornian is really at risk and subject to attack and to a general lack of respect. I was trying to piece together how long this way of thinking had been about, and I didn't understand how the hero, the Emperor of all, did not know this was going on.
I would have loved more to the epilogue. I felt so invested in getting to Destiny that I really wanted more time with her and about what she means to this world, how she changes things. And what about Jen? I really hope the author picks up that thread, maybe writes a book for her. Last thing, the editing could be tighter, but it didn't bother me too much.
What I did like I liked how the heroine changed, how she looked at herself and saw her flaws. I liked that she wanted to heal and be true to herself after her trauma. I also liked the hero; he's bronze-colored, with gray eyes and long black hair, and about seven feet tall. I liked how he treated the heroine; he really cared for her and was gone over her. There was a real feeling of romance/love about them, even if it did feel kind of instant. Nice POV from both h/H. Also, the Tornian world and culture were interesting, as was the Goddess and how she played into the story. Overall, the story was enjoyable to read. Just a few things I got hung up on, but by the time I got to the end of the story, I felt I'd had a fairly imaginative read with an interesting set up and a sweet h/H. I'd be willing to give this author another go.
Again I am at loss for why an author would start a series with a minor characters story after the first earth woman was taken and then go back and try to pick up what should have been the first of the series. I am in agreement with those who think that this than makes for a bit of a rehash of the first story that really should have been the second.
That said I think that this does give you a better and more in depth picture of what is happening in this realm and what changes are happening and still need to happen. The glaring difference between human women and Tornian women is placed firmly in the readers mind. The fact, they the Tornian females, who are supposed to be held in such HIGH regard, are in realty not much more than highly sort after paid slave breeding prostitutes. That they go ruthlessly from one male to another is mind blowing. They present a child, abandon it, and the male to seek riches from the next male to produce for them a child. In addition, they take everything given them by the previous male as they move on. I can't even imagine such a world, so therefore, I give Ms. Eidam points for even being able to dream this concept up, and then to create a place where it could actually occurs is quite a feat.
I think you will like this story even with it's bit of rehash, because it definitely set the foundation for the third book. Everything will become clear as read that story. I know because I finished the entire series to date. I believe it's a wonderful story and even with there being a lot of misunderstanding between the species, the human females are strong and more than capable of showing the Tornian's both male and female just exactly what they have been missing out on, with their unheard of lifestyle.
READ THEM ALL and ENJOY THE JOURNEY ACROSS SPACE AND TIME
