Summary: Is it a Love story or something else?
Review: To start with; I have bought and read all the books in series and I will most likely end up buying one more. That said I find this sries more and more objectionable.
The "Sholan Aliance Series" started very promissing as an interstellar love story between people from two very different species. A story being told very skillfully by the author. The first two books; " Turning Point" and "Fortune's Wheel" are great and describe the true love relationship in that that both Carrie and Kusac are in love with each other. Unfortunetly, starting with the third volume, "Fire Margins" it slides downhill. First out the way side goes the feedelity and loyalty to the other person and it becomes the story of the so called triad a bigamous sex ring. In this volume and the following ones, Carrie becomes an unfaithful wife and gets involved in lesbian sex liasons with other females. Kusac at the same starts sleeping around with other females and is having homosexual relationship with another male. The same story is being repeated for almost all the other males and females from different species. I don't have a problem with real love and monogamous marriage between different races and in this case species. After all if we recognize them as people we can't deny them the right to fall in love. I object however to the blatant antifamily propaganda being spun. In the end of it everybody is having sex with everybody else and anything that's big enough, warm enough, and alive but doesn't climb up on the tree. And it is unfortunate for this story did not have to end up as a pornographic piece. The message that it conveys is that anything that starts as love for each other will deteriorate into a sex orgy. I think Lisanne Norman has a great talent for story telling and missused it.
However if anyone wants tp buy these books it is OK by me, after all I bought them too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Read the Series in order !!
Review: To understand this book, you must have read the previous books in the series. (This is the bad news, why? Because so much of what occurs in this book takes place as if you have read the series.)

This book is very well written. A vast improvement over her last two, but those two books are VERY, VERY critical to this book. To discuss what happens in this book beyond that Kusac is trying to rescue his son Shaidan is to give away too much. The ending? Your left hanging of course. Lisanne has done a great job of making this book entertaining and thought provoking.

Enjoy the book, you will not regret it.
