Reviewed by Kim Anisi for Readers' Favorite

The Andromedans (The Empire Book 3) by Elizabeth Lang is the third book in the Empire series, and it would make sense if readers read the preceding two books first - though you can also enjoy the third book on its own if you are willing to be a little confused at the beginning (like I did, because the plot interested me). In the novel, you follow Kali and Adrian, two lovers who don't ever seem to be able to have a break. While Kali is mainly driven by wanting to save Adrian, a lot more is at stake than just the work and sanity of that man. The backdrop is that of a space opera, and while you could easily define the novel as science-fiction, it also has a fair deal of romance and philosophy packed into it.

The Andromedans (The Empire Book 3) by Elizabeth Lang is a well written novel that does not just focus on the typical elements of a science fiction soap opera. While it took me a while to really get into it, I started to enjoy the development of the characters. Each of them is unique and you barely find any of the typical stereotypes of the normal SF novel. There is a lot of dialogue in stages, and while I usually am not such a big fan of dialogue driven plot, I did enjoy the interactions between the characters. They did not seem forced or unnatural. I also liked that Elizabeth Lang managed to find a good balance between using descriptions and then leaving things to the readers' imaginations. Some authors treat their readers like little children who can't think on their own - so it's nice to read a book in which this isn't the case.
