The Miscreant and The Master Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When attempting to write this review I went back to read the editorial review and actually was surprised to read that Ayko was exiled from her community and is mistaken for a spy by Master Xang. I actually didn't get that from the story at all. Loki Renard is a decent storyteller, but in this case I think the story falls short of being complete. I found it hard to engage in this storyline, difficult to connect to the characters and was just plain underwhelmed by the whole thing.

It was supposed to be a death sentence. Cast out of her home in shame for her refusal to marry an old farmer, headstrong aspiring writer Ayko is determined to make her own way in the world as an independent woman. But in a land torn asunder by civil war, and a countryside dotted with faction troops, a young woman alone in the wilderness is easy pickings, even one as bright and witty as Ayko.When she is caught near a military settlement and taken for a spy, Ayko is faced with the biggest and most painful decision of her life.Deprived of her freedom by Q'un's famous Master Xang, a man who permits no disobedience from those in his care, Ayko realizes that her rebellion and subsequent exile have brought her to a world in which men command, and women are treated with a firm hand.Can she allow herself to submit to the charming Master who all too often turns her over his lap and spanks her soundly for her bratty misbehavior? Or will her pride and fierce independent streak demand that she flee once more into the dangerous countryside?
