Taken to Sasor by Elizabeth Stephens
5.0
adventurous medium-paced

This third book in the series was very much a standalone. And at first, this made me nervous because I’d gotten so invested in the plot arc of books one and two..

Until I realized that this hero was the stupidest Himbo I’ve ever seen. Absolutely dumb as bricks. And I was living 🤣

We had:
💛 alien barbarian tribes
💛 language barrier
💛 a blonde alien hero with literally one brain cell
💛 forked tongue snake shifters (where the shifted “selves” were separate personalities inside his head)
💛 a heroine whose 🎶 name is NO, sign is NO, number is NO 

This book was just a blast and the unhinged drama had me face palming and groaning—in the best way possible.

You can’t go wrong starting with either book three or book one of this series. The worldbuilding is great, love all the little details, and the alien language words (you know I love a book that comes with a glossary). The fated mates obsession is truly unhinged. And the grittier plot points just make the grovel that much sweeter.
