Goodreads Summary:
The romantic sequel to Alienated takes long-distance relationships to a new level as Cara and Aelyx long for each other from opposite ends of the universe...until a threat to both their worlds reunites them.
Cara always knew life on planet L’eihr would be an adjustment. With Aelyx, her L’eihr boyfriend, back on Earth, working to mend the broken alliance between their two planets, Cara is left to fend for herself at a new school, surrounded by hostile alien clones. Even the weird dorm pet hates her.
Things look up when Cara is appointed as human representative to a panel preparing for a human colony on L’eihr. A society melding their two cultures is a place where Cara and Aelyx could one day make a life together. But with L’eihr leaders balking at granting even the most basic freedoms, Cara begins to wonder if she could ever be happy on this planet, even with Aelyx by her side.
Meanwhile, on Earth, Aelyx, finds himself thrown into a full-scale PR campaign to improve human-L’eihr relations. Humans don’t know that their very survival depends on this alliance: only Aelyx’s people have the technology to fix the deadly contamination in the global water supply that human governments are hiding. Yet despite their upper hand, the leaders of his world suddenly seem desperate to get humans on their side, and hardly bat an eye at extremists’ multiple attempts on Aelyx’s life.
The Way clearly needs humans’ help . . . but with what? And what will they ask for in return?
My Actual Rating: 2.5
Ugh.. I don't know why I decided to read on in this series.. This book was not good. It started slow, continued to be slow throughout and then ended in a hurried rush.
When I finally decided I liked one of the characters they died.... Typical.
I felt like Cara was all over the place. She makes super rash decisions that permanently effected her whole life. I could hardly keep up with her; sometimes she hated L'heir and then all of a sudden she was a politician, then she wanted to go back to living on Earth and then all of a sudden she gets a high up spot on the council and is headed back to L'heir.
The relationship was boring.. There was a small hitch in it that was stupid and, I thought, thrown in there just to make the book last longer. I won't be reading on.
