 Better than book 1
Book 2 of the Series, this is a better story than the first one, the characters are more flashed out and are given histories. Our hero Ruis, appeared briefly in book one and this is his story. HE is a wonderfully rich character and his lady is too. We get involved in their lives as Ruis fights to survive in a world that treats him less than human. I look forwards to book 3 when I have time to fit it in. THe book can be stand alone, but it features characters from previous books and uses some assumed knowledge of the planet and its people
 Not as good as the first
The story wasn't as good as the first. The characters were flat. The uncle is just pure evil. You aren't given any background on him-just statements about the evil things he does. Also the relationship between the two main characters isn't well developed. The two seem to just fall in love at first sight. I wish Owens would have developed the characters and their relationships more. I thought the heroine took a lot of chances for a man she just meet.
Let's Go Play!
I adore this novel not just because of Ruis Elder and Ailim D'Silverfir, but mainly because of that adorable Famcat, SAMBA. SAMBA is fat and sassy, the daughter of ZANTH, and she zips around in her own flying saucer. How can you not just adore that.
The story is about the redemption of Ruis, who is shunned for being a Null and the gracious and intelligent woman that compliments him, Ailim.
I love how Robin developed the relationship between Ruis and Ailim. He needs her because she accepts and values him, she values him because he helps her control her powerful, sometimes overwhelming ability to empathize with the people around her. Ailim is also a judge so she gets to sense the feelings and perception of sometimes the gruesome elements of their society.
The balance Ruis and Ailim achieve from their love is the very heart of this tale, which is why I really loved reading this book. Add to that a sassy, fun Famcat and you have a definite winner.
Wonderful book with a beautifully written world & characters
I purchased this book after reading Ms. Owens first book "Heart Mate". This book mixes sci-fi/fantasy and romance together, which makes it a great combo for me, as I enjoy reading both genres. I think this is a beautifully written story rich in detail of the world Ms. Owens has created. I enjoyed reading the first book and I enjoyed this one even more.
OUTSTANDING!!!
Absolutely could not put Heart Thief down. Read it in less than 24 hours. This is a book that sparked my interest on page 1, and continued to build throughout the book. Thanks Robin D. Owens. Heart Duel (book #3)is on the table calling to me
