I was excited to read this book, but made sure I read Moonstruck first since it was the next in line after the trilogy that started with Your Planet or Mine. I really enjoyed Moonstruck more than I thought I would and was looking forward to this one. It disappointed. It wasn't a bad story, the characters were likable, but there was no real emotional connection with the main characters. I usually finish a book in a day or 2 just because I get so involved and can't put it down until I know everything that happens, but this one I put down with a 1/4 of the book left and couldn't get back to it for about a week or two and it didn't bother me. If a book has me hooked I wouldn't have been able to stop thinking about the story and found the time to finish it. The secondary stories had me more hooked then the main one, but even those were a bit anti-climactic. The action (what there was of it) was pretty unexciting, the romance wasn't really anything extraordinary and even though the story line had a lot of potential, it just didn't come together as well as her other stories. I am about to start the Star series because even though this wasn't my favorite I have read enough of Susan Grant to know that the majority of her books are very, very good.

The Warlord Daughter Susan Grant 9780373773619 Books Reviews

The two powerful civilizations are on the brink of the final battle to determine who will dominate the galaxy. The brutal Draaken Empire informs Battlelord Aral Mawdarr that none of the Coalition fleet is to get past the Warlord's Flotilla. However, he has switched alliances and plans to see the end of the brutal empire that his father worships as a man of power. Aral expects his award will be THE WARLORD'S DAUGHTER, Awrenkka promised to him as his bride ten years ago when she was thirteen.

His treachery works leaving the Warlord dead, but the offspring in danger as everyone wants her; the Draaken to begin a revival while the Coalition to end that revival; even earth is interested in her. Forging a Triad, they seek her while Aral also searches for his vanished fiancée, who plans to destroy a mythical treasure to keep it out of the hands of any warrior regardless of loyalties. That was her intention until she reconsiders when Aral finds his Wren.

The latest Borderlands military science fiction romance (see MOONSTRUCK, YOUR PLANET OR MINE, MY FAVORITE EARTHLING, and HOW TO LOSE AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL IN 10 DAYS) is a terrific entry as betrayal for various reasons is the norm. Aral is a fascinating character who has played the dangerous game of traitor for several years while inside the inner most advisory circle to the Warlord; his stealth skill might seem implausible but espionage cases like Ames and Walker prove otherwise. In many ways Wren is the more intriguing protagonist as she goes from total isolation to being the most wanted person in the galaxy. Fans of the Draaken-Coalition War will enjoy the latest saga as the battles may be over for now, but the hostility remains heated.

"The Warlord's Daughter" by Susan Grant is a futuristic, intergalactic, paranormal romance that's book two in a spin-off series from her 'Otherworldly Men' books. Without having read the other books in the series, I was a bit confused at times regarding repeat characters from earlier stories, but it didn't impact my enjoyment too much. I found this book to be a fairly quick and entertaining read, but would really classify it as more s/f with romance than anything else.

The war is finally over after thousands of years and the most hated man in the galaxy is dead. The only problem is, the secret daughter he left behind has just become the most wanted woman in the galaxy with a bounty of unimaginable wealth on her head. When Wren's two guardians kill each other in a battle over her future, she realizes just how sheltered she's been. Now she has a precious artifact, a name (of what or who she doesn't know), and a mission to 'make the galaxy whole'. No pressure.

Aral is the eldest son of one of the most ruthless Warlords. His father tried, through intimidation and beatings, to make his son just like him...and failed. But it was the death of a beloved teacher that turned Aral into a young man with a mission--he's going to bring down the Drakken Empire. After years of subterfuge and fighting, he's done it and now he's ready to claim the woman he's cared for and fought for since she was a young girl. Of course, he had no idea of exactly how difficult that would be.

For me, this was a story that wanted to be epic science fiction. Not having read the previous book, "Moonstruck", maybe it is...but not for me. There's less romance and more...growing up is I guess the best way for me to describe it, along with a history of magic, keys, keepers, goddesses, and future religion. Maybe more will be forthcoming in a future story in the same galaxy, but it did seems that Susan Grant tied up most of her loose ends in "The Warlord's Daughter".

The main characters were interesting, but not quite fully formed for me. Her naivety and ignorance of her mission seemed to be 'fixed' rather quickly, even though the 'romance' was mostly PG for pretty much the entire book. His violent past was hard to connect with the current man we see in the book, nightmares and all. There was also a lost brother found with the exact information necessary, and he had fallen in love with a new ship's Captain who just happened to be the one sent on the exactly correct mission. Add in a mercenary pilot, who changes quickly into a pseudo-hero who fights for what's right rather than what's 'in it for me' and it just became one too many 'coincidences' to swallow. Even though I enjoyed the book, and even though I like Susan Grant's writing, "The Warlord's Daughter" wasn't the hit I was hoping for.
This book was not quite as good as the previous ones in the series. But overall, Susan Grant is a great writer, and the book still provides a pleasant way to pass the time.
I love every book that I have read by Susan Grant. I especially appreciate that both her female and male protaganists are strong, complicated characters. The Warlord's Daughter is a great book.
enjoyed the series and it is a keeper, but not one of my comfort books
