My Big Green Alien Orc
by Skye MacKinnon
My Big Green Alien Orc was a fun read, set on another world where the main characters are forced to survive after being dropped there for "the games." I always enjoy the survival games type trope and loved that the world itself was always trying to kill them. Unfortunately, I think it was just too short. We didn't see enough of the dangers on the planet. And I desperately wanted more about the spirit bonds. By the ending, it just felt like the ideas had either run out or there was a page limit for this one that had already been maxed out, because it was unsatisfyingly short.
I was also a little disappointed in the "romance" of this story. The characters had a little bit of chemistry in the last little bit, and there was really only one seggsy time scene... I thought this was more of an Alien Orc Romance, but it really didn't give the satisfaction I was craving.
That said, I think there's potential, and as it's the first in a series, maybe there will be more that will play out and make it feel more complete.
