Review of 'Treasure Island' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Not going to lie. I didn't expect a space opera series to end up focusing so much on horses. I'm not complaining. I like horses.

After trying to open up a new trade route, Reese and the crew fall into the hands of slavers again. Hirianthial, the Eldritch crew member fights back. He realizes that his psychic powers are getting more powerful. In fact, the only person he's ever heard of with these powers went insane and killed a lot of people on the Eldritch planet.

The Eldritch have kept the planet closed off forever. Bringing a crew of non-Eldritch in is going to be a problem.

The slow romance between Reese and Hirianthial continues. I enjoyed the idea of Reese trying to build a relationship based on what she read in romance books. She gets a bit annoyed when he doesn't act like the heroes she reads about.
