Siel's pov was a bit sad, coz he wanted to give up so many times.īut most of all I liked how they thought Carter is a delicate flower who needs protecting. Pykh is so damn cute, but it's so sad he grew up in captivity and considers that normal. :) I might have enjoyed it more the second time around.Ĭinnamon roll is right! :D This is so sweet.

But now I'm really seeing all it's different components.Įven the writing, which seemed wonky to me back then, might be purposely primitive in places to showcase one of the characters' lack of knowledge about the world in general. Maybe at first read the sweet and cute parts stood out the most for me. Re-read : My first review might give the wrong impression about this series, so let me correct that by saying I love that the story is balancing between sweet, funny and sometimes intensely heartbreaking. This review has been cross-posted at Gay Book Reviews. Story: 3.5 stars, Narration: 5 stars Total: 4.25 starsĪudio copy of Human Omega: Discovered on the Slave Planet (Pykh #1) provided by the Publisher in exchange of an honest review. Joel Leslie made this an absolute pleasure to listen to, and I definitely will be grabbing Human Omega: Trapped in the Alien Jungle (Pykh #2), because I absolutely need to know what happens next! 🐾👽🛸

Multiple POV, sci-fi fantasy, alien romance, with great world and character building, lots of humor, and a cliffhanger ending. Side note? Yes, this is a ménage 'mates' relationship, but it's not erotica, there is real relationship progression, not just sex, but good character development, and a nice twist on how Omegas are treated. The writing and narration drew me in and kept me glued. I'm not going to lie, this isn't my usual go-to genre, and I also don't usually gravitate towards menage relationships, but I was really pleasantly surprised. The reaction of Carter, a human captured by an alien bug-like species, to his cage mates Siel and Pykh (who are also aliens, but picture 7 foot tall giant tabby cats with enormous quills down their heads and shoulders) and the way only Siel and Pykh are able to communicate with each other and how they're all trying to understand what they're saying is a blast. This book made me laugh out loud so many times. I had such a great time listening to this! Joel Leslie is sublime, with great character voices, timing, and pacing, and then he ups the ante with such perfectly timed humor.
