Such funI have read other works by this author, so I was sure I would enjoy this like I had before. I found myself smiling, giggling, and waiting for the next paragraph with such anticipation. I could not put it down and read straight through till morning. I am so excited that the author will be continuing writing about Jaya and Wulf because I never want the story to end when I feel so excited about their story. Looking forward to the next one, can only hope that it will be soon.
*4.25* Even with the occasional info dumps, I really liked this space opera/pnr story. I almost didn’t read this because of the title, glad I gave it a try.This story begins far in the future where Earth has been abandoned, destroyed by a nuclear war. There are spaceships, wormholes, bounty hunters, magic, secrets, true mates, shamans, and shifters in this book. When humanity evacuated Earth, many thing were lost. Now, werewolves, werebear and other shifters are trapped in their human bodies...
I really loved this book. It was definitely a page turner, thank you for letting me sleep at 4 am finally!!!Non stop action, deep and mysterious characters, very original and interesting universe and extraterrestrial species, this book has it all. The fact that we keep learning new thing at every turn keep us totally hooked until you reached the end, waiting and expecting so much more. I really CAN'T wait for a sequel!!!!! Please please please!!!!The only reason I didn't give a 5 star reviews is...
I kept jumping between 3 and 4 stars for my rating of this book while I read it.At first I was very much on board.Although I think some naming conventions, speech, and little things like food etc. were too indistinguishable from the current age Earth and lacked imagination, I liked the setting.Then, we reached the 'uncontrollable mating' and I was out.Then it settled a bit and I still liked the setting enough to continue reading.But I do think that there a lot of little things that are either to...
Fun reaI really enjoyed this book. Entertaining plot, great characters and a hiss worthy villain. I highly recommend this book. Buy it
More pleaseWhat a non-stop trip. Vulf and Jaya fit together so well. Vulf's family is interesting and Ivan is Ivan. Can't wait to see where the story goes from here. The only question I can ask without spoilers is who Jaya's father may be and the impact he may have. So many other questions flitting around in my head. Hope the author revisits this universe soon. Highly recommend this story and author, her books never disappoint me.
Meh... This book has all the right ingredients to make a good read, but just falls short.. Can't put my finger on why.The characters are a little one dimensional and world building isn't sufficient.Not good enough. Sorry
Cool concept and world building, good plot, and good writing.Seven generations after a federation of aliens rescued humanity from a nuclear destroyed Earth, Jaya is a powerful shaman, a small population of people that can manipulate unseen energy to do pretty much anything you would think someone with magic powers can do. Vulf, a successful bounty hunter, is a shifter, though no shifter has been able to actually shift since leaving Earth. They do retain a certain duality of spirit and the typica...
I enjoyed this book. A little bit more proof reading was needed, but it’s not unreadable. There were a few places that left questions in my mind or didn’t make sense to me, but overall it was enjoyable. Vulf and Jaya are great characters, that suited each other well. I kept thinking that Jaya must be from one of the original cultures on earth (since this is futuristic) that had Shaman religious figures, but it never really said. Some of that background of the story is vague, not sure if that’s i...
This was a fast paced, thrilling intergalactic space adventure that I enjoyed reading a lot in spite of the romance that was not to my taste. I liked characters, especially AI, various interesting alien species, even Ivan, because you can rely on him to be very devious almost no matter what. The twist with 'robotic wolf' blew my mind, really liked it. Romance, however, was not what I would term as 'clean'. It was a bit too lusty compared to my usual reads. If I'd known beforehand there'd be some...
Jaya is a natural born shaman, and an orphan. No wonder she pledges her loyalty to the one man who acts like he gives a damn about her, even if he has a strange way of showing it. For him, she’d do anything, without hesitation. But that loyalty is questioned when he steals something precious from her whilst escaping a formidable bounty hunter. And in that one moment, she’s gone from betrayed to kidnapped because that bounty hunter knows there’s a connection between the two humans that Jaya can’t...
3.5 And I Would Break The Galaxy To Save My Own StarsHer Robot Wolf is the first installment in the Shamans & Shifters Space Opera series by Jenny Schwartz. Let's start with the upsetting aspects I found littered throughout Schwartz work, shall we? Mainly, it was the utter lack of intense world building. The kind of introspective, deeply seeded crafting of fiction that I've come to expect when throwing myself into truly delicious space operas. Where every simple machine has a copyrighted & ridic...
This book has been on my to be read list for a while and I can kick myself for not reading it sooner. Plenty of twists and turns to keep you interested and engaged - much as I enjoyed Jaya and Vulf I think Ahab was my favorite.A final thought - the underlying "power" of Jaya is shamanism. This is not really a slant found in the stories of most European or American authors, with the exception of Native American story traditions. That is one of the joys of reading an author from another country or...
Loved this series! Love Jaya and VulfHumanity was evacuated from Earth 7 generations ago by the Meitj, a very old, powerful and respected insectoid race, renowned for their ethics. They have sponsored humanity in the coalition. A strange thing happened to the people of Earth when they left. The shifters were on longer able to shift. Their animal trapped in their human form. The Shaman's gained in power and in respect. Their ability to manipulate sha, the unseen force that surrounds and flows thr...
This was interesting and a new take on shifters. The characters were well done and the tension between the couple was delicious. I loved that the couple felt the heat but didn’t dive head first without thinking of the situation they were in. Nice change. The storyline is good but I would of liked a bit more details. The romance and character development was in the foreground and the adventure and plot secondary. The last chapter was going so fast with information then just abruptly ended. I will...
