REVIEW: The Envoy – The Ambassador #2 – AuthorName

Amazon Link: amazon

Rescuing his best friend, Ben, and seven hundred other humans was a straightforward task compared to what the Guardian Sebastien had been ordering him to do.

Several terrible assignments in a row have tipped the ambassador into trauma, affecting not just him, but also his prince. Calling into question whether he can continue to work for the Guardian who seems to want him dead.

Knowing he has no choice if his parents are to be kept safe, River continues to do as he’s told, despite a break in his friendship with Ben and his own doubts about being able to be a consort to his Prince.

Can River navigate Sebastien’s orders and remain alive?

Will Prince Eris still love him if he is no longer his consort?

River’s only hope is to persevere and give his best, no matter the cost.

This series must be read in order, and it is a series that I highly recommend because I love it.

After a long wait the seven hundred humans waiting to be taken to Drakonis arrived. Any longer many of them would be dead, with little food and poor treatment the humans are in bad shape including River’s best friend Ben. River’s parents are not among the survivors fleeing the tyranny of Sebastian, a Guardian. Sebastian told River his parents wanted to stay but he knows Sebastian will be using his parents as a means of keeping him in line.

The humans have a place of their own, homes and food and they are learning their new language. They are settling in better than River who must await orders from Sebastian and is trying to navigate royal protocol. Eris wants River to be his consort, but River is not sure if it is the right move.

His first assignment from Sebastian leads River to gain an ally in overthrowing the Guardians but not all assignments will work to his benefit. One assignment almost led to his death.

Between working with the humans at Amity (the name they gave for their new home) he keeps treading carefully with the protocol he must learn. His and Eris’ love grows but they have a huge hurdle when it comes to a commoner and a prince. Fortunately, River is blessed to have his best friend Ben and his adopted parents to lean on.

River is between a rock and a hard place but doesn’t want to lose the man he has grown to love. In private everything between Eris and River is normal but outside it is the opposite.

Helping the humans in the settlement, obeying Sebastian’s orders and finding a place in Eris’ life where he can be just a normal man in love with a prince, the pressure is getting to the Ambassador.

Eris is the heir to the throne and a lot is expected of him, but he gives as much time as he can to River but is it enough.

I love this series, the characters are amazing, well the good guys. There is suspense, surprises and danger. I can’t wait for the next book to see what happens between River and Eris and hopefully it won’t be too long. As soon as C.J. Dragon comes out with a new book I am right there waiting to have it delivered.
