I absolutely loved this! It was definitely worth the wait for this one but please don't keep us waiting so long for another!
A delightfully unusual tale with many possibilities. The Terran backdrop piques the imagination, and whets one's curiosity for more details. So it provides a logical potential story line that is not required, but could be developed easily into either an integral foundation for the primary, or into a separate series unto itself.
The same can be said for the "keeta". The foreshadowing suggests they represent something important to the protagonist. I would enjoy seeing their further development into the story.
I am pleasantly surprised that at this stage at least, the story avoids the usual Hollywood "humans are greedy, wicked, planet pillaging" garbage that often accompanies stories told from an alien viewpoint. Your presentation of the Terran historical influence, though sparse, is refreshing, and I can envision a complete story line evolving there as well. Looks to me like you have a good foundation upon which to build not less than two companion series to go with this one.
This is a most intriguing story. A world that forgoes all modern conveniences and weaponry of advanced civilizations is a concept nearly unimaginable, but you have managed to carry it off. I look forward to continued chapters of this truly unique tale.
for a nice read. The people we meet in this special world that are learning to survive with weapons of our yesteryears are nice, polite, and respectful of those with whom they associate. The sex is interesting and constant but not overbearing. The story begs for continuation and could progress in many directions. I'm hooked on this people and their open sexual values and practices and yet their morality is impressive. I would love to read more.
Enthralling storyline and good character development. Just enough back story to look for more in future chapters. One minor criticism of s glaring faux paus… Can you find another euphemism for the man’s genitals? 😂. Not only is “prick” derogatory and crass, but itIt completely derails the flow of your narrative. It’s almost like throwing ice water on the fire of the sex scenes you describe. It’s probably the worst descriptor you can choose, especially given your otherwise eloquent writing style. Sorry… had to get that out there. I’m late to the story, so I’m hoping you’ve figured this out on your own 😅😂.
