What I appreciate most about this author, is her ability to take a subject matter that holds zero interest to me as a reader, while still managing to create characters that keep me engaged enough to continue reading in spite of that fact. I am aware that the ending feeds into the next book in the series.If it had been put as the beginning of the second story, I think I could have given this masterfully written story a perfect score. The ending of the story, while as flawlessly written as the rest, turned the book from a perfectly executed introduction, body, denouement, and richly satisfying ending to one that felt unfinished. Kate Aaron's story, The Slave, is but a whisper away from perfection. The cliffhanger ending kind of annoyed me, but I immediately went out and bought the two sequels, so I guess it worked!
The characters are outstanding, and the setting was marvellous - science fiction that reads like fantasy. nobody can be in love with two people at once, can they? Seducing Kai has suddenly become more challenge than chore, and with his master’s encouragement, Tam finds himself falling for his new companion. But it’s hard to hate a man who cries himself to sleep, flinches at the slightest touch, and blushes beautifully when he’s kissed. For being his eventual replacement in their master’s bed. For being of the same race as the men who murdered his family. He wants to hate Kai for being unruly and ungrateful. Then Tam is ordered to purchase another slave. For six glorious months, he and his master get to be together. Tam's dreams come true when his mistress walks out, leaving her husband behind. Naturally submissive, although with a petulant streak, he can’t help but fall in love with the master who treats him kindly.
