King of Pain (Interstellar Rescue Series Book 5) by Donna S. Frelick – Review by Erica Shoebridge

King of Pain by Donna S. Frelick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another excellent book by Donna Frelick! I was a little trepidatious because the book sounded bloody and harsh, I wasn’t sure it would be quite my cup of tea, but I know the authour is great, so I gave it a go. Very happy I did! The story is phenomenal, very action-packed with lots going on.
The two races on the planet, the Thrane (ruling class) and the Hinarr (poor and maligned) have been at odds for centuries. The Hinarr are treated abysmally, with few rights and are little better than slaves. A lot of the interactions echoed the racism that occurs in our world today, and so it was very relevant despite being set in a fictional world. The clash between these sects ultimately becomes one of the main themes in this book.
This book has romance, adventure, space travel, fantasy and shape-shifting snow cats! What’s not to love? Read this book.
