No Place Like Home

Valens Heritage, Book 5

De: Jan Stryvant

Narrado por: Christopher Boucher, Jessica Threet

No place like home. Really, there isn't, is there?

The Auction House is running well now with the help of Biggs, and the issues and other problems there are on the wane, which means it's now time to set about making Bartertown his as well. He's got a plan, he's got his sisters to help him, and he's also got his wives who are already starting to pull together as a family and figure out what their roles are going to be in helping him run all of this.

Dr. Ruxton is still a bit of an enigma, but Mihalis is sure he'll figure it out, and honestly: he likes the guy. For a human he bears an incredible resemblance to the First at times: both ruthless and smart.

Of course, there are still things he needs to deal with that are beyond the borders of his little domain, like his 'uncle' Steve's campaign for president. Some folks at House Uunregarten need to be taught a serious lesson, and there's an annoying elf who really needs to be removed from society.

No Place Like Home is not for shrieking violets or people who have issues with Sax and Violins (not that there are any 'wind' instruments, unless you consider those lovely female elven–and dark elven–voices!). Yes, there are some blue sections in this story, plus more than a few red ones, and even white! Hmm, where have I heard of those three colors before? Let me think...

And last, but not least, we have a story that is NOT afraid to ask the question everyone is thinking of (but not answering yet): can Mihalis sing? And if he can, should he?

This series is still one of the "surprises" for me that I have found. If you would have told me 20 books ago that I would still be interested in a story about a young man who turns into a lion and gains all kinds of power and then proceeds to build his pride (which is another word for harem) I would have told you that you were crazy. Yet somehow I found myself interested in the story of Sean Valens and the crazy life going on around him. This series is the spinoff of the original series and we are now reading about Sean's children, who are now adults.

Honestly, this is probably one of my least favorite books. For some reason, it felt like this book - especially the beginning portions - were just thrown together and I found myself becoming annoyed several times. I LIKE Mihalis as a character but the whole gaining 7 wives in what felt like a week, not to mention the "Oh, and I'm going to get all of these OTHER sisters pregnant (no, they aren't my wives). Why? Because they asked me to. And, yep, now I also have a slave AND a concubine.....WHAT???? If I had a limit, I definitely reached it.

Fortunately, something occurred somewhere around the middle to last half that changed the tempo and the feeling of the book. Maybe it was when they moved to help Steve with the rallies. I'm not exactly sure, but I found myself getting more and more invested in the story. Well, it actually became a story. I loved seeing Sean and Steve again along with some of the original wives. Something that I also found odd was that I'm pretty sure that I've listened to some of these books on audio (I am not positive at the moment) but I definitely do not remember Troy's voice sounding the way it did with that weird accent. Odd, just very odd.....

So, everyone is allowed an off book. Am I still going forward? Yep, probably.

another great book by Jan stryvant

lions and demons and djevils oh my. back to mihalis. enjoyable. I will admit I like Troy a little better but he does make an appearance here.

sometimes a lion got to lion. mihalis learns politics is dirtier than bartertown

Simply amazing

Great storyline do your self a favor listen to the whole series of probably rand through it 6 -9 times by now never disappointed
