Fortune's Wheel (Sholan Alliance, Book #2) by Lisanne Norman
Just finished Fortune's Wheel (Sholan Alliance, Book #2) by Lisanne Norman. I'll put my review behind a cut, because it's got spoilers for the first book in the series, which I reviewed in a previous post:
Turning Point (Sholan Alliance, Book #1) by Lisanne Norman
The second book in the Sholan Alliance series picks up immediately after the end of the first book. In the second book Carrie and Kusac return to Kusac's home world of Shola, with Vanna, their personal physician in tow.
Now that the immediate threat of the Valtegans has been eliminated, Carrie and Kusac have some time to explore the depths of their new relationship, and their Leska link. But they find themselves embroiled in local politics. Both the guild of Telepaths and the Brotherhood want to study and control them. And Kusac still has a duty as his mother's heir to have cubs of his own, something that shouldn't be possible between alien species.
And as more telepathic humans start interacting with telepathic Sholans, more alien Leska relationships are formed, including one that sneaks up on the reader. /summary
I mentioned the sexual nature of the Leska link in my review on the first book. The tease does pay off in the second book. Not LKH explicit, but a good level for what presents itself as a sf/fantasy series.
I'm still enjoying this series. In fact, even as I write this, I'm already pretty deep into the third book. The books read as one larger story, with no time or events passing between books.
Great read.
