Sithe: An Alien Conqueror Fated Mates Romance

The writing and editing of the ARC version of the manuscript was clean, with no typos that I found and somewhat unusual authorial voice. The world building was vivid, with the Arrisian’s grim culture coming to life. The characterization was good, with the hero being deliciously alpha and the heroine going through a significant growth arc, ending the novel as a strong person who had fully seized her agency and power. That was really satisfying to read. The development of the romantic relationship was great, though the initial scenes of intimacy happened well before the development of the relationship. This novel had a heat level of three chili peppers. The plot was intricate, action packed, and exciting. As a consequence, the pacing was quite quick. There was a medium amount of well justified angst and high stakes throughout this novel, which tends to be one of my preferred narrative structures for a romance novel. This novel used the Super Soldier trope and the Hero from the Evil Galactic Empire trope. The world building, plot, and pacing were all four stars. The characterization and development of the romantic relationship were also four stars. I therefore gave this novel a combined rating of four stars. This novel ended on a Happy Ever After ending instead of a cliffhanger ending, so that was a big plus. I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy sci-fi romances with dark themes and tons of plot and action. I look forward to reading the next book in this series when it releases. I will not buy myself a keeper copy of this novel at this time, but I may go back and buy the whole series in future if it maintains this high quality or improves. This is quite a good novel for a debut. I received a free copy of this book, and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a wonderful story beginning to a new series as this storyline is a great sci-fi adventure! The characters are developed and pull you into their adventure and journey. It start out as a fight but soon changes and things get really interesting! Can’t wait for more! I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

This excellent book has a unique storyline and characters. I was thoroughly entertained from beginning to end. Sithe a Blade of the Arris planet becomes enamored with a lesser, Catarine whom finds herself in very dangerous situations that forces Sithe, a by the books Blade, to slowly start to change. This steamy, dangerous, action-packed adventure will have you on the edge of your seats, I could not put it down and I look forward to the next installment.
