The book really picked up with Riki's return to Eos, which I had been eagerly anticipating since it was made clear books ago that his 'freedom' was only temporary.

Unfortunately, the sex scene before the end only made me feel pity for Riki, because the sex no longer focused on the dynamics between two alpha males, but on an alpha that continued to fuck the other absolutely mercilessly with no pleasure involved.

It was really quite a downer. ( )
