Review: Thrax by Christina Bauer

Thrax by Christina Bauer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Myla and Lincoln's honeymoon is almost over, and Myla doesn't want to go back to the real world. She wants to stay in their rooms all day long, but unfortunately life has a way of interrupting Myla's great plans. When Lincoln gets a gift from an old friend, only to have him disappear through a black smoke and Myla wakes up from a "dream", does Myla really know that the honeymoon is over and now she has to go find her husband.

Problem is that there is an imposter, Evil Lincoln, as Myla calls him, who is telling everyone in the palace that Myla is going crazy with pregnancy hormones, so no one should listen to her. Myla is becoming trapped in her own house, and she is tryinng to find a non-fighting way to get herself out. Having a bun in the oven is wrecking havoc on her fighting time.

Once Myla gets to Earth, she is on the hunt to find her husband. Thankfully Cissy and Zeke are there to help her, so they set on their mission to save Lincoln before it's too late.

And when Myla finally finds out the root of the evil that has taken her husband - they better run far and fast away from her before she gets her arrowed tail into them.

I'm feeling a bit sad for Myla and Lincoln. They just can't ever get a break and live life together for a short period of time. There is always something that is happening and in this case, they were separated for the problem. I just want to see them be normal people for a change, but 1. that would probably be a boring book and 2. that is just not the Myla and Lincoln we know.

I am very proud of Myla. She is trying to be a better Queen than an Arena fighter, and she did a tremendous job in this novel. And there were a lot of times she could have caved into her old Myla habits, that's for sure.

Also, this book really showcases just how smart Myla is. She came up with TONS of plans that usually were successful, and it just shows that she is going to be a great Queen when she can finally rule the Thrax.

I thoroughally enjoyed this novel, and now I'm about to dive into the next one!
