Not the best book in the series, but still enjoyable and an important piece of the history of these two important characters. The storytelling is, as always with this excellent author, is first-rate and the characters are extremely likable. I keep waiting to read that Jahir is informed of the coup attempt on the Eldritch home world, hoping the author has conceived of the development even if it hasn't been written yet (perhaps unfortunate that I've read that part of the Peltedverse history already).

Again I have to rave over MCA Hogarth's stellar storytelling in this excellent second book of a great series. Although this non-space opera type of story is not my normal kind of fair (though I find myself at a loss for why this is true), I chose to read this series just because I've enjoyed so much of Hogarth's writing and I want to consume anything I can get my hands on about the Peltedverse. The characters, as always, are well-developed and likable, and the story is loaded with drama and excitement. Highly worth your time. I purchased this book direct from the author, as I did with the next, and I just now am realizing I cannot, sadly, post a review of it any of the vendor sites I normally purchase from.

Purchasing from Stardancer is easy and quick, and importing the content into either Kindle or Kobo form is virtually seamless. The prices are lower than from online booksellers—not sure how the jungle site lets you get away with that—but you can't post reviews on those other sites once you've read the book.

A bit different from Hogarth's normal fair, I really liked this one. She introduces new characters, primarily the eponymous protagonist of the series for which this is a prequel. The characters, especially the main one in this excellent series, are very well-developed and extremely likable. As the author, herself, compares this series to Star Trek (with furries), it seems appropriate to refer to Alysha as a female, alien version of James T Kirk. That, however, is a thin comparison, as she has different and arguably more admirable gifts. The story is darker than others, self-rated as an R equivalent due to the sexual violence and disgusting activities of the young Fleet cadet. Still, the story is masterfully told and is engaging and satisfying. It's not necessary to read this prequel to fully enjoy the series, but it gives a great deal of background toward understanding Alysha Forrest.

The kid writes good! I know, I know, she's a mother raising 3 or 33 kids (& said parenting experience resonates in her character, Spot.), but sitting up here atop the world, North Pole, Alaska, with four score and seven years behind me I see her as a youngster, one who write delightful interesting novels.

Spots the Space... is a very enjoyable read. The rate the plot progresses,the characters, etc., makes this novel a pleasure to read. I'm not saying it's so riveting you can't put it down, I did around 2 a.m. so it took me two sittings to finish.

I also like the fact that I didn't have to buy it through the almost monopolistic publishing house, Amazon (Who publishes, controls over 70% of the ebooks sold in the U.S.).

Bottom line, whoever, wherever you are I think you'll enjoy it!

Read these years ago on scribd (rip) and was so excited to buy epubs to do a full pelted reread! These books are so fun, one of my favorite slow burny space stories

I read the first Haley and Nana book last year when I was going through a rough time, and during that period it was the only thing that could pick up my mood at all. The book was short but I was still in a better place by the time I finished it, so I've been strategically waiting for the next time I need a new comfort read to go on with the series. I have no doubt at all that the bundle will prove to be a worthwhile investment.

This was exactly the ending for the trilogy that my heart needed. Fighting against evil means resisting unto blood striving against sin, and Maggie doesn't shrink from showing us that reality. But there is also joy and new life that follows that bloody cleansing of evil.
And that reminder is what my heart needed.

I couldn't put the Earthrise trilogy down! Reading these books felt like coming home. Once I read the first once and fell in love with the Peltedverse, I felt like Reese going back to the bookstore for more. This is the trilogy my heart needed.

This series is easily one of my favorites, and the adventure kicks off right away. Interpersonal conflicts, pirates, fairie queens, what's not to love?

If you need that spine shiver because of the quiet desperate longing of two incredibly reserved individuals who long for each other and are kept apart by their steely senses of duty and decorum.... this is your book.

It also has loyalty! Subordinates protecting their officer! Space battles! Friendly bickering! Beer options! And SO MUCH MORE.

Wonderful resource for people who don't want to read the torture stuff but still want to continue the story. Also, it was more amusing than I expected (many funny asides).

What a wonderful collection. I binged my way through them, felt bereft once I got to the end, and started from the beginning again. Love the characters, love the worldbuilding, love that my daily language has now acquired a few new words along with their concepts...

Gosh I love these books

One of my favorite series. Had to finally get a copy for myself and one as a gift!
