Planet Origins #2

Original Elements

Rate this book
The most cunning and powerful men on O are out to get Tanus. So he does what he does best. He fights back.

Tanus and fellow soldier Dolpheus are no closer to discovering what planet Princess Ilara is on or how to get her back. Even though they’ve broken every rule. Even though they’ve merged with the minds and bodies of kings and courtiers and nearly lost their heads.

The King’s dying. Restoring Ilara to the throne is all that can protect the people of Origins from the tyrants waiting to rule. But the only way to find Ilara is straight through a nest of vipers and a labyrinth of memories a thousand years old.

Tanus needs Ilara—the woman, not the princess—now more than ever before. Rescuing her seems an impossible feat. It’s a good thing Tanus and Dolpheus believe nothing’s impossible. There’s no one better to prove it than them.

Lucía Ashta believes in magic, laughter, and happily-ever-afters. She loves writing fierce heroines who wield witty comebacks as adeptly as their swords, and the warriors who slay their enemies alongside them.

She lives with her family in the forest nestled in the mountains, where she dreams up fantastical worlds and hopes to someday journey to them.

A truly amazing story! This is an amazing story! It's filled with adventure of course, but it also has swords and scorcery, strong friendships, and the determination of the one who loves another so much as to go to the end of his world and beyond to find his long lost love. He meets so many obstacles yet he overcomes most of them. But will he overcome all of the ones yet in his future? I am certainly going to find out as I am determined to finish the rest of this series. Lucia Ashta has a great talent for writing. I have read most of her books so far and I have not been disappointed. I don't usually read books that have a lot of swearing or sexual content, but this author has a way of using swear words in a down to earth way and in a comical way at times. The sexual content is not too offensive as it is written beautifully in a way that two people express true love for one another. I would highly recommend this book but only for mature readers.

love the books that Lucia writes! With this author you can never go wrong I highly recommend reading all of her books I have been reading every single one and I’m not disappointed!

She is a phenomenal writer there’s Romance suspense spirituality sorcery magic war love and so much more.

Tanus trying so hard with his best friend Dolpheus trying to find the princess and put her on the throne as the king late is dying. A viper is trying to get on the throne and wants to king dies he’ll get there unless you can find a princess. She’s also the love of his life.

He breaks laws and does everything and anything he has to to find a princess but he’s kind to the people and looks out for them at the same time.

A great read I promise you won’t want to put it down!! With this author you can’t go wrong!!

I purchase and read this book in December of 2017. I overlooked leaving a review for it. Its never to late though. Here goes.
Continuing smoothly from the first book in the series, Planet Origins: Original Elements is a non stop adventure by Lucia Ashta featuring two strong dynamic heroes Tanus and Dolpheus who are searching for Princess Ilara.
The reader joins the two, in this well written, refreshing science fiction story that is smooth flowing and has humour, love and loss, romance and many thrills and adventure.
The writer writes her book with such creative imagination that she is able to capture and hold the reader's attention from page one.
A fascinating read. Recommended!

I voluntarily review an ARC.
Wow. I enjoyed the first book of the series, but this one is even better.
The writing is structured, the characters defined and interesting.
Sci-fi meets undying love and really unexpected turns.
Can't wait to read the next part.
