Synopsis (Goodreads):
Stranded on a remote planet with no hope of escape.Thoughts on Catalyst: After the events in book 1, Esania and her, err, handmaidens (I guess? People? The one's she's looking after?) are stranded on Khira with the rest of the mercenaries and a group of Vradhu after the crazed living ship they were on...MAN, book one was a wild ride, wasn't it? Totally wild.
Stuck in the unforgiving wilderness, where monsters hunt in the skies above.
No signal, no spacecraft, no translator.
Esania thought she and her people were escaping to the sanctuary planet of Torandor. Instead, she's ended up on a wild, uncharted nightmare called Khira, where the violet-skinned savages who guard them are just as poisonous as the deadly flora and fauna.
And the pale-winged demon who's just dropped from above might be the most dangerous of them all.
Anywho. Esania and the rest are now planetside and things aren't going great. On the plus side, they're all alive. But they're stranded far from home without any of the creature comforts they've come to depend on and there are a sadistic bunch of blue-skinned aliens who want to harvest the humans for their life force. Which, let's face it, probably sucks.
Imril doesn't much help their plight when he chances on them. Weakened after a several-hundred years hibernation, he's mostly instinct and hunger. So when he snatches Esania for the life force she gives off, things seem to go from bad to worse for her.
Except that's not exactly true. Imril might be a bit arrogant and a lot unaware of what's been going on while he was in his healing sleep, but he realizes soon enough that Esania is something special. Facing his failings to his people and making peace (of a sort) with his (formerly insane) twin brother mellows him. Sort of.
Bottom line, I like these fierce aliens. I like their human(-ish) counterparts. I'm digging this world and all the craziness that comes with it.
