There are a few space battles, which are always fun, but the over-the-top antics of Ambassador M’Ekar and some of the council members of the Supreme Constellation were so blatantly unsubtle I nearly injured my eyeballs with all the rolling. There is a decent effort at world-building, we’ve got Onotharian occupation and politics galore, often as ridiculous and petty as we see in newspapers around the world IRL. Be careful, though - they occur 86 times in the book! The drinking phrases are “my wife” and “her wife”. Wanting to lend a hand (heh heh….she later certainly lends a hand and more body parts!), Rae offers to marry Kellen to give her and Armeo sanctuary from the Disney supervillain Ambassador M’Ekar.įrom here, the book would be quite fun listening to with a group. Given that he’s been on the run with Kellen for seven years, you’d think he’d be a savvy kid….but no, he pretty much acts like an 8yo kid. Kellen, for her part, can’t trust Rae…but she trusts Rae…but she can’t trust Rae….but she trusts Rae….this cycle goes on for virtually the entire book, and yes, it gets annoying!Īrmeo is at the center of a political battle between empires. MC Commodore Rae Jacelon is supposed to be a by-the-book career military woman, yet she very quickly decides to bend lots of rules to protect the secretive MC Kellen O'Dal and 12yo Armeo, the boy Kellen has sworn to protect. “Protector of the Realm (Supreme Constellations, #1)” took itself pretty seriously, but I enjoyed it more once I began embracing the campiness of the story.
