🐲🔥Hello Everyone! I just so happen to have seen this book while browsing on Goodreads, and said to myself "love the cover, why not?" Mind you, this book is apart of a series as well. Still, I did not feel entirely lost with the amazing help with from the author recapping who is who in the intro to the book. Even for its shorter length, it was filled with humor, gentleness, interesting future plot lines, and a great match between the MC's! No OTT drama either so I am always glad for that👏👏👏! Plus it is a dragon🐲-shifter romance too? Ugh may I be in line first please😂😂?🔥🐲

"I was not prepared for this moment. ​As Wyn and I touch for the first time, something seems to click into place. All those feelings, all those desires, all that fucking longing is explained. We’re mates. My soul is rearranging itself, making room for Wyn. He’s the other half of my soul and suddenly, I’m not sure I could go on living the same way I just was. I tease and joke and laugh, but I was so fucking empty inside, and now, I’m not." Wise,8.



"A shadow lurks above me before Rhett is diving down, flying just in front. My breath stutters. Holy shit, Rhett is beautiful. He’s huge, his wingspan wider than mine. His scales are black and shimmery, so different to my red, almost orange color. He gets some distance between us before tilting his head up towards the sun, opening his mouth, and spitting a long stream of fire from his mouth. Fucking showoff." Wise,22.



🐲🔥Within this story, we have Wyn(Omega Dragon🐲-shifter) who owns and runs a tattoo parlor, that many of his close friends and family work at. Years ago, he was in love with a Bear🐻-shifter named Gideon; who was not his TRUE MATE, but they loved each other all the same. After Gideon's passing, Wyn feels hollow and alone; just like how Rhett feels about his past relationship. When the snarky, witty Dragon Alpha Rhett and the Omega Dragon-shifter Wyn touch for the first time, the mate bond is instant🔥! Their passion and love for each other is sparked from the very beginning! Yet, how long will the fire burn between two dragons who have felt the loss of a loved one? Will they be a able to be enough for each other, as well as have the bravery to love their lives now as well?🔥🐲

“Wyn,” I say gently. “I will do anything you ask of me. I wanna help but I don’t know how.” ​“I know how,” he says back carefully, his voice having an edge of nerves to it. “Can I take care of you, Rhett? Can I give us what we both need?” ​“Yes,” I breathe out, the air between us charged with something I have yet to name. “Anything.” Wise,27.



“You’re beautiful,” he says and the praise somehow goes straight to my cock, filling my body with pleasure. “And you’re mine.” ​“Yes,” I grit out through clenched teeth, wishing he would just fucking touch me already. “Yours, Idris.” ​Idris smiles down at me as he watches me struggle, fighting against my restrained wrists. “Shh,” he shushes, making me calm down. “I’m gonna take care of you.” I swallow at the words, feeling them in my very soul." Wise,30.

🐲🔥Even for its length, I REALLY loved how Rhett and Wyn got along so well! Despite their worries in the beginning, they pulled through no matter what, and found the everlasting love they were always looking for❤️! What I really thought was an interesting twist was their dynamic at times. Even though Wyn is the Omega and Rhett is the Alpha, Wyn is the dominant dragon 🐲 compared to Rhett! Not saying Rhett was a "pushover" or "none-alpha" by any means. He just had more of a submissive side to him that Wyn loved since he had such a dominant nature about him. Normally being an Alpha= right away to being dominant, growly, protective, and just MINE MINE FUCKING MINE😂😂😂! I mean he is these things too, but not in the normal fashion you see how other Alpha shifter males are. So that really intrigued me there for sure. I also loved the funny moments as well between their crazy friends and family! Always great to have wonderful commentators to embarrass or help the MC's😂!🔥🐲

“Hey, Wyn,” I whisper. ​“Yeah?” ​“I love you.” It’s like I couldn’t hold it in any longer. Even at what he would probably label his very worst, I still can’t stop loving him. He’s my omega, my everything. And he’s carrying our babies inside him. My chest feels like it might literally burst. And in a way, it has in the form of my words coming out. ​“Oh,” he breathes, tossing the pizza onto the table. His eyes are shiny as he smiles at me. “I love you, too.” Wise,42-43.



"I look up at my mate as we walk, his brown eyes lit up with joy. He’s so oblivious to what he does to me, how he puts me at ease, how he takes care of me without even realizing it. It’s hard for me to accept I’ve been given this life, this gift." Wise,47.

“You’re doing so well,” Idris tells me and that’s when I notice my vision is blurry as silent tears fall down my cheeks. I feel unworthy of this praise, yet I’m compelled to keep going, compelled to do as Idris tells me. He says I’m worthy, he says I’m loved, he says I’m good and in this moment I can do nothing but believe him." Wise,54.



🐲🔥Problems within the book? I did not find any major issues within the book really. All the characters were funny, interesting, and added something to the book in general. Maybe Rhett having a bit more Alpha traits? Such a small issue, but it just kind of confused me sometimes when you have Alpha=Dominant on your brain 😂. Other than that, again which is so minor, I found no other issues!🔥🐲

"I shake my head at him, fondness overcoming me. “Such a fucking brat.” ​“But I’m your brat,” he whispers, leaning in and kissing my lips gently. The softness of the kiss makes me smile against his lips. What a stark difference this kiss is compared to our first which was all passion and teeth. Now our kisses have a purpose, they tell of our love and our feelings instead of just lust." Wise,64.



“I’ve got you,” he says, a mirror to the same words I was just telling him. That’s the foundation of our entire relationship, isn’t it? I have him and he has me. We’ve got each other. We might fall, hell, we will fall, but we’ll do it knowing we have a safety net in each other." Wise,80.

🐲🔥Like I mentioned before, this is apart of a series. It would help out to have read the books before just to know them better within this one. Yet, I did not and still think this one is a 5 star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ in my opinion with lack of prior knowledge. If you would love a sweet, funny, and sexy m/m dragon🐲-shifter romance read? This is a great one to try! Free with KU as well!🔥🐲

I was really looking forward to Rhett's story. He deserves someone to love him and take care of him. However, I'm really disappointed in his book. I seem to be in the minority here but there were a few things that bugged me.

First, this one seemed to be even more condensed than than the others. It was rushed and I missed Rhett and Wyn spending time together getting to know each other and stretch their limits. There were time jumps which, given my second complaint, it could have benefited from being able to see them develop their relationship.

My second niggle, and this is definitely a me thing and doesn't seem to bother most, is the dead mate. If done right, I can deal with it. But here, Gideon is mentioned a lot in the beginning and at times that were inappropriate to me. Like the first time they have sex and Rhett submits, Wyn ends up crying over his dead mate, a mate who has been dead DECADES. We're not talking about last week here. I am by no means saying he must forget Gideon, but I felt his hard grieving should be at a minimum now. Rhett seems to accept Gideon with no questions asked, another niggle of mine. He's just like okay. Wyn continues to remember Gideon at times when I felt he should be thinking about Rhett. When Wyn gets pregnant, he's angry because he tried to have a baby with Gideon and couldn't but got pregnant with Rhett right away. Why??? Shouldn't he be happy he got an actual TRUE mate and was going to have a baby instead of thinking about the past? Maybe I'm just heartless....

Now, had things been fleshed out more and expanded on I think I would feel differently about the whole Gideon thing. If we had been able to see Wyn develop feelings for Rhett and come to love him as much or more than Gideon, I could deal. But we are just told about these feelings in time jumps. We don't get to see them so I'm not convinced that if Gideon was alive and Rhett walked through the door (mind you, Rhett is Wyn TRUE MATE, not Gideon) Wyn would have done anything at all.

So, to me, this book was disappointing. It's been a cute low-angst series and I've enjoyed it for the most part, but this one did nothing for me. I probably won't read Mandy's book but I'm hoping Tony is going to get a book though....

Another great book in this series. I liked that this was a little kinky even thought I would have liked to see more of them being in the D/S roles.
I love the characters in these books a lot, that’s the main reason this is so special to me. And Wyn was a great addition to their by now huge family.
I am looking forward to read the last book in the series as well as the little extra story after this.

Rhett and Wyn

Rhett wants a tattoo, where would he go other than to his crush Wyn.
When Wyn touches him they both know, they are mates.
Only Wyn is hurt and it seems Rhett as well.
Some amazingly dynamic follows between alpha and omega, I loved it very!

Jeezzz what a story, I loved it. Emotional at times, my heart broke, funny at times I laughed loudly. Two beautiful vulnerable dragons with a past that was painful palpable. Dominance and submission was a beautiful act!
There are a lot of family members, with a lot of fun, they were all lovable.
This story had a hop in it, a hop of joy.
Overall a lovely, captivatingly written mpreg dragon story!

Loved the newest book in this series! The last couple books have been winners for me. Although you could read this on its own and there is a quick character guide at the start, I think you'll enjoy this series more if you read the others since characters from previous stories are so involved in this one.

Wyn and Rhett are both dragon shifters, and both with long pasts and histories that make them weary at first of finding out they are mates. Although Wyn is an omega, he wants to also be able to dominate and take the lead sometimes, which I love. Turns out that Rhett truly is the perfect partner for Wyn as they work so well together in that aspect. I love it when characters turn out to be different than their stereotyped "norms" that people think they should.

I think I've said it before with stories in this series, I do feel like things move quickly - and not in an insta-love type of way, but events are just summarized and we're told what happens, rather than actually get to read about it. I know it's a novella, but I want more time with the couple when things are just starting out.

What I love most about this series is that it's all about family and acceptance and finding your place. I enjoy the lightness in them and getting to see what couples from previous books are up to after their HEA. These are sweet stories and perfect for reading these days!

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book was awesome! I absolutely adore this series and the characters in it; this latest instalment was no different.

I have to admit, I’ve had an enormous crush on Rhett since we first met him. He’s adorable and loveable, and every time he was on page I just wanted to give him the biggest hug. Wyn was more difficult for me. Initially, I really wasn’t in love with him. I felt like Rhett deserved more in a mate and there were some times, towards the beginning of the book, I felt really let down that Wyn was it for Rhett (although, to be honest, I’m not sure anyone would really be good enough for Rhett in my eyes lol).

That’s what makes the book so good though; my opinion of Wyn dramatically changed and by the end of the book I got why they worked so well. There was one scene in particular, *cough* marbles *cough*, that started to change the way I saw Wyn – I started to really see how he could complete Rhett and how together they could be something amazing ((view spoiler)). I think great books are able to twist you up and make you change your opinions about characters. I always like it when a book shows you that people aren’t one dimensional; they are complicated, often flawed, and sometimes we have to put the work in to relationships to get to the good stuff (I don’t mind reading through the hard times if I know I’ll get my fluffy HEA at the end!). With this couple, perhaps more than the others I think, they had to put the effort in to work together and what they ended up with was amazing. Rhett deserved someone who got him and made him, above all else, feel accepted and seen – he definitely got that in spades.

I am super excited for the next book in the series (perhaps with a certain vampire…) but I’m also sad the series will be coming to its end – hopefully we’ll get to see lots more of the whole gang (Rhett and Cameron especially!) in the future.

Tl:dr – Rhett was his amazing awesome self and Wyn, after a few bumps, proved that he was the perfect fit for Rhett. Definitely recommended for anyone who…well, for just anyone :)

I probably liked this book more than the previous ones as I didn't expect it from Rhett to be in need of submission.
I liked watching their dynamics, how they dealt with what Fate gave them. Wyn was an interesting character, with a past that haunted him, but I liked how they actually talked it out.
It was a very good read.

Submitting to Fate is the next installment in Toby Wise's Collection of Strays series . I really enjoy these quick , easy to read novellas and I adore the mix matched group of characters that make up this family.

This book tell the story of mates Rhett and Wryn. Two dragons perfectly watched by fate , a domineering Omega and a submissive Alpha. This is the first book in the series to tackle this brand of kink and it does it in a mild way thats emotional and tender.

Like expected, Submitting to Fate is a fluffy mpreg shifter fantasy with feels and a garunteed happily ever after.

Quite possibly my favourite couple in this series!!!

Rhett has been the not so serious, cheeky twin that we’ve loved all the way through this series and I can say that Wyn is absolutely perfect for him.

I loved the addition of a little bit of kink and think Toby has written it exceptionally well, the dynamic between these guys is awesome.

I had tears at a certain part because it’s just so beautiful ❤️❤️

Awesome addition to the series 😊

Wyn and Rhett are dragons. And to know someone is their fated mate, dragons have to fulfill one condition – touch that person. Therefore, although they have known each other for some time, it is only when their skin touches for the first time that they discover who they really are to each other. They both have longed for love for years, unfortunately to be able to fully enjoy their dream coming true they must reconcile with their past and the old feelings that changed their lives forever.

"Submitting to Fate" is the fifth volume of "A Collection of Strays" by Toby Wise. A series that from the very beginning breaks some common patterns that we often see in M/M romances. I admit, it was the first thing that made me fall in love with "A Collection of Strays". And I believe that just as in the case of the previous installments of the series, also in this novel the topic that breaks the pattern is one the greatest advantages of the story. In this volume the D/s dynamics with elements of daddy kink is this type of subject, as it doesn't match the stereotypes of our characters' 'second sex'. In other words, it doesn't match the usual image of alpha or omega. I admit that as soon as it became clear that in "Submitting to Fate" the omega is the dominant partner, while the alpha is the one who feels the need to submit, my heart immediately started to beat much faster.

Another huge advantage of "Submitting to Fate" is the extremely important role that the former relationships play in the lives of our two main characters. The cases of Wyn and Rhett are extremely different from each other, which is a huge plus, because they illustrate two directions of love, which despite the passage of time still affect them. On the one hand, there is a great, unforgettable feeling that still burns bright, on the other, there's a painful evidence of Rhett's naivety, which still feeds his guilt, and maybe also shame. The fact that Wyn and Rhett are not each other's first love is very important, because in order to truly give themselves to each other, they both must reconcile with their past feelings first. Thanks to all this, the reader has some insight into their psyche. I believe it is equally important in this case that in the novel we don't follow the characters whose love life resembles a blank page, but we see how they write their hearts' next story on this already used page. And this is the most beautiful part of this novel.

Unfortunately, there is one thing I didn't really like in "Submitting to Fate", that is the fact that very often the action moves forward due to the "time jumps". To be honest, if the author had added an additional chapter or two that would show the development of the bond between the characters, the development of their feelings and growing love every time the story "jumps", the novel would have become much longer, more ambitious and, most importantly, it would have shown Wyn's and Rhett's feelings better. For in the novel, as our boys' love is concerned, what we see is merely a small piece of what is taking place during these "time jumps". This is really a big loss, because "Submitting to Fate" is very interesting, full of emotions, and it moves the reader. This book is the most touching part of the series, unfortunately writing this story Toby Wise didn't spread their wings.

In conclusion, "Submitting to Fate" is a novel in many respects unique. It makes us smile as often as cry. This is really the most moving volume of the series, unfortunately it does not focus on the love between the main characters as much as we want, which is undoubtedly a great shame. Still, "Submitting to Fate" is really worth reading.

____________________

Wyn i Rhett są smokami, a te aby poznać przeznaczonego im przez los partnera muszą go najpierw dotknąć. Dlatego też chociaż znają się od pewnego już czasu, dopiero w chwili pierwszego zetknięcia się ich skóry ze sobą odkrywają, kim tak naprawdę dla siebie są. Obaj od dawna pragnęli miłości, niestety aby móc w pełni cieszyć się tym spełniającym się marzeniem muszą najpierw pogodzić się z przeszłości i uczuciami, które wtedy wstrząsnęły ich życiem.

„Submitting to Fate” to piąty już tom „A Collection of Strays” autorstwa Toby Wise. Serii, która już od samego początku łamała niektóre z utartych schematów pojawiających się w wielu powieściach spod znaku romansu M/M. Nie przeczę, że właśnie to w pierwszej kolejności sprawiło, że szybko pokochałam „A Collection of Strays” i podobnie jak w przypadku poprzednich odsłon serii, także tym razem właśnie taki wyłamujący się temat uważam za jeden z największych plusów tej powieści. W tym tomie jest nim dynamika D/s z elementami „daddy kink”, która nie znajduje swojego odniesienia w stereotypach „drugiej płci” naszych bohaterów. Inaczej mówiąc, nie odpowiada temu, w jaki sposób zazwyczaj postrzegany jest alfa lub omega. Przyznaję, że moje serce od razu zabiło szybciej, kiedy tylko stało się jasne, że w „Submitting to Fate” to omega jest partnerem dominującym, zaś alfa jest tym, który odczuwa potrzebę poddania się, poporządkowania.

Kolejną, ogromną zaletą „Submitting to Fate” jest niezwykle istotna rola, jaką w życiu dwójki naszych głównych bohaterów odgrywają ich dawne związki. Przypadki Wyna i Rhetta są od siebie skrajnie różne, co stanowi ogromny plus, albowiem obrazują one dwa kierunki miłości, która mimo upływu czasu wciąż oddziałuje na człowieka. Z jednej strony pojawia się tu wielkie, niezapomniane uczucie, które wciąż płonie jasno, z drugiej zaś bolesny dowód naiwności, który nadal budzi poczucie winy, może również wstyd. Fakt, iż Wyn i Rhett nie są swoim pierwszym obiektem uczuć jest tu bardzo istotny, gdyż obaj aby naprawdę oddać się sobie nawzajem, muszą najpierw pogodzić się z tym, co było. Dzięki temu, czytelnik ma w pewnym stopniu wgląd w ich psychikę. Równie ważne w tym wypadku jest to, że w powieści nie śledzimy losów bohaterów, których życie uczuciowe jest niezapisaną kartką, ale widzimy, jak na tej zakreślonej już po brzegi kartce zapisują kolejną historię swoich serc. I to w tej powieści jest najpiękniejsze.

Niestety jest coś, co nie do końca przypadło mi w „Submitting to Fate” do gustu, albowiem bardzo często akcja posuwa się do przodu za sprawą „przeskoków w czasie”. Prawdę mówiąc, gdyby w każdym miejscu, gdzie następuje taki „skok” dodać dodatkowy rozdział lub dwa, które ukazywałyby zacieśniające się więzi między bohaterami, ich rozwijające się uczucia, rosnącą miłość powieść stałaby się zdecydowanie dłuższa. Co jednak najważniejsze, lepiej ukazywałaby wnętrze i uczucia Wyna i Rhetta. Albowiem w powieści w temacie miłości między naszymi chłopcami to, co widzimy jest zaledwie namiastką tego, co rozgrywa się podczas wspomnianych przeskoków. To naprawdę wielka strata, ponieważ „Submitting to Fate” jest książką bardzo interesującą i pełną emocji, które poruszają czytelnika. „Submitting to Fate” miało zadatki na najbardziej wzruszającą część serii, niestety Toby Wise nie rozwija w pełni skrzydeł.

Podsumowując, „Submitting to Fate” jest powieścią pod wieloma względami wyjątkową. Sprawia bowiem, że uśmiechamy się równie często co płaczemy. To naprawdę najbardziej poruszający tom serii, niestety nie skupia się na miłości między głównymi bohaterami w satysfakcjonującym stopniu, co niewątpliwie rzuca się w oczy. Mimo to naprawdę warto przeczytać „Submitting to Fate”.

I have loved this series from the start and Submitting to Fate fits perfectly into the world that Toby Wise has created. Reader's have gotten to see most of the family meet their mates and now it's Rhett's turn.
Rhett and Wyn are perfect for each other, not just as fated mates but also in what they need from/can give each other. Wyn has always had a dominant side but as an omega it's so hard to find an alpha who allows him to be himself. Rhett has always needed to quiet the buzzing in his mind and Wyn gives him the chance to let go with someone he trusts. I love seeing the alpha/omega dynamic turned on it's head, letting the men truly be themselves and know they're safe with the person they love.
Both men have been hurt in the past and are wary going forward, especially Wyn with the relationship that he had in the past but Rhett is such a nice guy and just wants Wyn to be happy and comfortable in their relationship. One of my favourite things of this series is the real sense of family that comes across. We still get to interact with all of the characters from previous books and get to see how they have grown and moved forward. There's a real connection and sense of love and support throughout the family and with the mated couples. This is the same for Rhett and Wyn, even with things moving a little quicker than they planned, they stick together and help get each other when they're struggling.
Highly recommend! I love this series and have enjoyed all of the books. I'm looking forward to the next story which we get a glimpse at at the end of this one but I'm also hoping that we get to hear more from Tony, Wyn's friend and co-worker.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

Submitting to Fate is the fifth installment to the A Collection of Strays series by author Toby Wise. I liked a lot of things about this book. One it has a character bible. This allows people like me who have not read the entire series in order to know who is who and how they play in the storyline. I loved the cute artwork as well. I also loved that this is a dual pov novel. It is nice that I get into both character’s frame of mind.
I also loved that the Alpha/ Omega ideals are turned on their side in this book. I loved seeing something different I had not seen much of before.
Rhett is an Alpha Dragon. He is a twin. He is going to get a tattoo from an Omega he cannot get out of his mind. He guards his heart but still holds out hope he can find the one Fate has planned for him. He also has what he calls buzzing in his head that makes him act out just to tune it out.
Wyn he is feisty, has a wicked sense of humor. Likes control and feels out of control with Rhett. He had an Alpha once and he is still mourning him. He is an ice dragon shifter. And truly needs to take care of someone.
I loved how these two are really perfect together. What they consider flaws in themselves make them perfect as a couple and I am a sucker for a true love story with a twist.
You do not have to read this series in order to understand this story. I adored this one and I cannot wait for more from this series in the future.

Rhett and Wyn have both led lives that seem to imply they're either perfect for one another or "never the 'twain shall meet" and I'm so glad that both men found a way to submit to Fate and all the ways they could fill one another's souls. There were some rocky moments, but just like with each and every story in the series, they pulled it out in the end and gave in to a plan larger and more knowledgeable than their own.

One bit that didn't gel for me was their big moment of "communication" where the lead up to Wyn and Rhett's dynamic was building only to culminate in a moment that felt uncomfortable. Wyn's thoughts regarding knowing what Rhett needed and yet ignoring the signs didn't feel right and that their moment of sharing all the angst from their hearts came so late in the story didn't exactly fit their flow either. With such a short story I wasn't expecting it to be all hearts and roses, but two really big things that were specific to them and their story weren't given enough page time to feel resolved.

What I did love were all the sweet moments when you could see Rhett growing from the brat-for-brattiness'-sake into the brat-with-a-cornerstone. With Wyn to ground him, to give him the peace he needs he could assume his role as the brat with more humor than before because he didn't need the facade to cover his pain. Wyn softened as well and his journey was more one of bringing his past alongside his present and reveling in love instead of grief. Rhett's insistence in keeping Wyn's past as an integral part of their hearts and going so far as to pass it on to their future was immensely wonderful. It showed growth and a true understanding of love multiplying rather than living with a heart divided. That was my favorite part. These two men needed one another and I was pleased overall with their story.

Rhett & Wyn

Wyn is a very assertive Omega and does not need a dominant Alpha to make him secure. He has some wounds from his past himself. He is very surprised to have a fated mate and accepts it, but will his alpha understand that he does not like to lose control.

"I feel really fucking off centered.".......

Everything feels hard and rough and nearly impossible but I gotta trust Lady Fate. In this case, she's the one dominating me and my life and for once, I gotta submit to her control. I hope she knows my safeword.


At this point in the series, we all know what happened with Rhett . Since Trish he is not really himself anymore, he feels terrible about it and is very careful not to fall in love. He is pleasantly surprised and grateful that Lady Fate gives him a fated mate. But he is also very insecure in his ability to take care of his omega.

"A wise man once told me..... that I helped him believe in Fate again...... Believe in Her, Rhett"

Follow this new couple brought together by Lady Fate. They will learn to move forward without forgetting the past, to communicate with each other and to support each other especially when overwhelmed.

Contains: fated mates, knot, mpreg, light kink (d/s), grief.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:
A 3,5* is clicked with a 4* but in review marked as 3,5*:

5* - very very good and rare (it would be a Blow-Away-book like ‘Jesse's Smile’ or ‘Joey’ from Angelique Jurd, ‘Save the the kids’ series
from EM Leya, ‘Love’s Tethered Heart’ from C.L. Etta or ‘Liberty’ from Seth King),
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often reread and is a WOW-book with interesting plot and surprises (like most of Andrew Grey books and Davidson Kings 'Haven Hart'-series)
it's like an A

3,5* - a really good book, which will be reread a few times (most romances where you can enjoy for relaxing and during waiting times in
hospitals). I can recommend them definitively!
It's like an B+

3* - it could be more then a one-time-reader (2-3 times a year),
it's like a B

2* - it was ok to read, but it's more a one-time-reader (I wouldn't recommend it heartily, but it was ok)
It's like a C-, D

1* - sorry, but that isn't really a book for me (too many mistakes, not nice plot, illogical, so an absolute NO-GO). It's like failure in the
whole line, dismissed, repeat the class
