And the very understated romance came to a very satisfying conclusion too... [spoiler] The female protagonist wants to do EVERYTHING to make sure Finn is safe and he asks her incedulously "you would destroy the whole galaxy for me?" [/spoiler] And, wow, this kind of love story that creeps up on y...
Like the first book in this duology (Song of Scarabaeus), this was a quick, fun read for me. However, although I ultimately liked it, I definitely did not enjoy Children of Scarabaeus as much as I enjoyed its predecessor. For one thing, Edie seems to have developed a pretty annoying martyr complex i...
This review can also be found on Books as portable pieces of thought-blog.This didn’t start how I imagined it would. The confusion could have been avoided had I read the blurb for the second book, but I didn’t and I had a expectations of where Edie and Finn were going. They took a small detour to tw...
The irony is not lost on me that I began this series because it was a duology and am ending it now wishing it was one of those never-ending, seven-and-counting UF Series. If only. Nevertheless, with just two books, Sara Creasy has managed to make me a life-long fan. Although this series can very eas...
wow, i'm exhausted but so happy! edited to add:The Scarabaeus duology wraps up with an impressive finish that had me breathless with anticipation all the way to the end. Edie and her stalwart protector Finn are trapped and recaptured by the Crib after their attempt to buy the neurotoxin that is esse...
Children of Scarabaeus picks up immediately after the events of Song of Scarabaeus. The story's approach is to assume that the reader has read the first book, which for me, was rather refreshing. No exposition dumps that read like they should be prefaced with a television announcer voice saying, "Pr...
In Children of Scarabaeus there is more focus on Edie and Finn, less of the technical jargon, more plot developments, and resolutions to ongoing problems, yet with all Sara Creasy’s amazing world-building the events on Scarabaeus jumped to warp speed and I couldn’t suspend my belief enough to enj...
2.5 starsIt was pretty good, but left a lot to be desired in terms of plot and character development. I especially wanted to see Edie and Finn on their own and see if they could be together outside of these events and people and high-stress situations that have defined their relationship with one an...

This story picks up shortly after Edie Sha’nim, bodyguard Finn, and Cat Lancer escaped from Scarabaeus.Edie is a top...
