Hi Cara,
Today it’s my stop on The Death of Honor blog tour. This is the first book in the Honor Trilogy by Lyra Thorsson.
Below is all the stop on the tour.
Lyra Thorsson is the sci-fi pen name for Dani Hoots. She is a science fiction, fantasy, romance, and young adult author who loves anything with a story. She has a B.S. in Anthropology, a Masters of Urban and Environmental Planning, a Certificate in Novel Writing from Arizona State University, and a BS in Herbal Science from Bastyr University.
Her hobbies include reading, watching anime, cooking, studying different languages, wire walking, hula hoop, and working with plants. She is also a herbalist and sells her concoctions on FoxCraft Apothecary. She lives in Phoenix with her husband and visits Seattle often.
All Rebecca wants in life is to sail through space in her ship—is that too much to ask? The moment she lays eyes on her old military buddy Jonathan, Rebecca knew there was no running away from her duties. With her best friend, sometimes with benefits, Nik, she desired to return home to the Nreff Nation, one of the four government powers of the systems, to serve on one last mission.
However, the problem with returning is that they all are wanted for treason. It wasn’t their fault, however, as they had been framed by their old admiral, Sebastien Wilde. Fortunately, succeeding in this mission might give them a clean slate, as they are to find evidence of Wilde’s involvement in the illegal human experimentation ring that goes against the Treaty Of World Equality and Rights (T.O.W.E.R.).
Rebecca and Nik agree to the mission, hoping to earn a more peaceful life, however, Rebecca hides a dark secret: she was once closer to Sebastien than any of them ever realized, and the evidence incriminating him might also implicate her.
Now Rebecca has a choice: turn her back on her comrades and run for her life, or face her sins in order to prevent an all-out war.
*This book contains sexual content, violence, drug abuse, and physical, sexual, and mental abuse.
The Death of Honor is an entertaining Sci-Fi adventure that deals with dark topics of Violence, drug abuse, physical, sexual and mental abuse.
Lyra has created some interesting lead characters in Rebecca and Nix. Both dealing with there won secrets, which have caused them problems in different ways. I liked that Lyra is sarcastic and can’t help talking back.
Nix although a lead character and we see his POV, the story is driven more by Rebeca. As she is the lynchpin of The Death of Honor.
The Death of Honor feels like it is building to something big. There is more going on that will impact the universe.
There were certain things that didn’t take me by surprise, which made it easy to reads. Although there is a couple of twists that did take me by surprise towards the end of the book.
I hope in the next book we get to find out more about the crew. As they seem to be some interesting character aboard the ship.
My rating for The Death of Honor is 3 out of 5.
