Starborn husbands isn't just the name of this book. The talent of this author is Starborn - there is no other explanation for such kind of quality writing and the magnitude of this magnificent world building. Yes, S.Legend did it again! She took some kind of bizzare and unusual concept and turned it into a vivid, wild, out of this world reading experience! Because Stars and constellations aren't just the blinking lights which we can see in the night sky - here, in this story they are ancient sentient beings with life expextancy that spans over millenias.They aren't just guardians of the Galaxy and Earth but also have their own civilization, customs, culture and life, vastly different than ours. The one thing in common is that they aren't immune to emotions and the millenias of living amplify every one of them. Rivalries, feuds, love, hatred, betrayal, ambitions are interwoven in a fascinating web of complicated relationships that seems never ending. And living for so long means entertainment has a whole new level of understanding - vanilla just can't cut it and the stars have all the time to learn and explore...This author never disappoints in delivering a refreshing portion of her love for spankings, domestic discipline, sensual servitude and a galore of kinks.
While the beginning is a bit slow, because such complex world-building requires a solid and understandable foundation, the level of heat is completely in tune with the story's development and quickly reaches impressive levels.
And that's where the characters come in - I love the way S. Legend creates these vibrant, chaotic, emotionally complex puzzles of personalities - there just wasn't a dull moment or an ounce of predictability as I tried to follow all the threads and nuances of relationships created and developed over time frames far larger than a human lifetime. And while the relationships of Treyu,Zhang and Merrick were the focus of this story, the author created an exciting backdrop of secondary relationships and supporting characters that I would love to see in future books.
Treyu isn't an easy character to love. He is literally the embodiment of Trouble and a magnet for pure mayhem. But step by step I was drawn into the circle of his unusual charisma. I admired his resilience and defiance, the passionate way he embraced any challenge or threw himself into any danger. Maybe it wasn't the logical survival instinct, but he was his true, genuine self. Zhang and Merrick weren't my cup of tea as personalities, but they were the keys who could contain his brattiness and tame the chaos that surrounded him.
If you are a fan of polyamory, kinky action and the thrill of danger, this is a book you shouldn't skip.
