Some might think it is romantic.  It could trigger some people, but the power play is from the female instead of the male.  There are adult scenes, but they are essential to the story and not just to fill in pages to make the story longer or titillate you.Goddess is written more about the characters and their experiences which to me is the best part of reading a book than about the guns and technology descriptions.  It has guns, lasers, stunners, satellites, intelligent computers, and so much more.  I love good characters and this book has characters that intrigue me… I loved it and highly recommend this book.    —Another epic read from Wind. It packs so much: Space-exploration.; set in the future, humans have colonized various planets & galaxies; Military vibes; Fresh start / adventure / discovery; Epic world-building; (Evil) fun with genetics, psi abilities and Aliens; Strong, brilliant, relatable male lead / Hero; Snarky AI; Completely twisted villain; Laugh-out-loud banter. Written in multiple POVs … mostly we get the POV of the hero, Roke, but at times the reader is provided with others as well, and it's fun to have the insight. Before long, I found myself submerged in this world and I feel like I could never get enough. The book wrapped up nicely, but had a sort-of cliffie, if that makes sense. Wind brilliantly ties up the most immediate issues, but makes it clear there's more to come. I don't want to spoil anything, so you'll have to either take my word for it, or read it & see for yourself. Beautifully done—as someone with a very visual mind, I was treated to stunning landscapes and basically traveled in time and space. I could read this book over and over again.—l just finished reading 'Goddess' and WOW! I received my Advanced Review Copy (ARC) yesterday and I couldn't put it down…I felt as if I was actually part of what was happening. This book pulls you in right from the beginning and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I really liked the inclusion of the Navaho Nation… I am hooked! If you are looking for a new author, this one is golden!
