Title: Only Hard Problems
Author: Jennifer Estep
Series: Galactic Bonds #3
Pages: 198
Following the events of the previous book, Zane Zimmer is now leader of the Arrows and is tasked with finding and capturing Kyrion and his newly discovered sister, Vesper Quill. While Zane appears to the public as an arrogant and obtuse regal, he is actually a cunning and deadly Arrow who has emotions and is struggling with the revelations that Vesper is his sister.
It was great to finally get to know Zane better and see how he is dealing with the revelation that Vesper is his sister and now being in charge of hunting her. While I still think Zane is arrogant, I now know the man better and can see how much he actually cares about his family and wants to protect them. The revelation about Vesper shocked him and he is struggling over the fact that he never got to be a part of her life and that his grandmother keeps her away from his family. While I don’t like some of Zane’s actions, I am very curious to see how he deals with hunting Vesper and Kyrion in the next book.
This book also gives us a glimpse of the chemistry between Zane and Asterin which was enjoyable, especially since they both are fighting it so hard. I am very interested in seeing how their relationship plays out, especially since Asterin seems to hate him most of the time.
Overall, while I still have some issues with Zane, I enjoyed this and like that we got a deeper look at this character. I really can’t wait to read the next book and see what will happen next for Vesper and Kyrion.
