What do a god in exile and a goth geek from Nowhere, Minnesota have in common?
Not a damn thing.
Ashnavayarian is a god in exile, condemned by the Dragon Mother to live as a lowly human. The only way to appease the goddess and earn back his place at her side is to learn compassion — or bypass her entirely by raising the power to break his exile.
Tor MacAran is stuck in a dead-end job in a tiny town that’s barely on the map. He’s been alone and hurting all his life, and he’s about ready to end his pain by whatever means he can.
When a Halloween encounter dumps Tor at Ash’s feet, the two men find themselves tied together by the Dragon Mother in a way that neither can escape. Can Tor teach Ash what it really means to be human? Or will Ash’s bid for freedom destroy Tor and plunge the Westlands into a war no one can win?
Note Human Frailties, Human Strengths is a stand-alone novel (~90,000 words) that takes place in the same world as Human Choices.
Note This story contains hot guys who have the hots for each other
Human Frailties Human Strengths edition by Jaye McKenna Romance eBooks
I read this tale after reading a related story offered by the author(HUMAN CHOICES) for free. It's not necessary to read the first book to get thegist. However, I had a deeper affection toward the two main characters since in the first story they had a secondary but important role to play. The
closer connection was due to an initial introduction in the first book .
What struck me was the author's focus on the plot without overwhelming the reader with senseless sensual encounters. Yes, there is a fair amount
of eroticism. However, it is done tastefully and fits very well into the story. McKenna has the discipline to limit excess with well crafted transitions.
Personally, a few sexual scenes could use cutting but that's my preference. It was not enough to cause alarm and say enough already.
Really, though, this is a wonderful imaginative tale. I didn't think in terms of god like creatures watching humankind but the possibility of evolved
species or another species beyond the human dimension. One has leeway for different interpretations. The beginning of the story reminds of
one of the Greek gods being punished for bringing fire to mankind. I have to give the author credit since most of the story has very few characters
besides our two main protagonists. Attention does not veer since the interaction has an exciting edge to it. The humor, tone and pace is well done.
I won't give it away but when you read about the sword it's an amusing twist.
Definitely, I would highly recommend this light, enjoyable fantasy. The writer did involve and keep my interest.

Human Frailties Human Strengths edition by Jaye McKenna Romance eBooks Reviews
Ashnavayarian was a powerful, god-like being of the leythe, the place from which magical energies emanate. But Ash has been a bad boy. His thoughtless, selfish meddling and manipulating has led to a war and disturbances within the leythe. Ash needs to be taken down a peg or two, so the goddess Jhara punishes him by forcing him to live in human form with most of his power stripped from him. She hopes he’ll learn that using other creatures for his own amusement isn’t right and that some of the things he considers human frailties (like compassion and love) are just what he needs to learn. Of course, that doesn’t go over well with Ash, and he’s determined to thwart Jhara by any means necessary and break his exile. Jhara throws Ash another curveball when she leythe-bonds him to Toryn MacAran, a human!
Tor has never fit in and always harbored a painful emptiness inside, like something is missing. When a strange encounter at a bookstore one night ends up landing him at the feet of the handsome Ash, he may have found the answer. Ash’s touch takes his emptiness and pain away and makes him feel compete.
Both main characters are well developed and interesting in their own right, but when they come together, oh boy! The chemistry goes off the charts. I adored the interaction between these two. An emotional rollercoaster.
Ash is a self-centered, full of himself ass at the beginning of this story, but he’s so damn fun. Tor is the broken boy that I always adore. And I do adore him… except that by the end, I’m so in love with Ash that even Tor’s delicious brokenness cannot compare. These guys go through hell and back in this story, but the growth of the characters throughout is such a treat to read.
This is a complex fantasy that takes place on another world separate from the earth (from which Tor came). The world-building is quite intricate and yet so smoothly woven that it never felt cumbersome as some fantasies do for me. Fast-paced, lots of wit, smoking hot sex, angst, sexy long-haired men (my fav!), and some freaky bad guys to hate from the detestable Lucano in the first section on to some of his horrible creations in the second. And then there’s Carrik Tarn, a very interesting and pivotal secondary character. I won’t say much about him for fear of it being a spoiler, but I’d really like to know more of his background. Maybe that will come out in a sequel.
So much happens in this book, much more than I’d expect for the number of pages. It has the depth of a much longer read--almost like an epic. I read the first half, Human Frailties, about a year ago as a freebie. Since I’d enjoyed the first half of the story quite a lot, I really have no idea why I waited so long to read the full story. But very glad I finally did because the second half took the tale into awesome territory. The second half made me fall in love.
Ash and Tor need a sequel, and actually, I’m pretty sure there is one currently in the works. I can’t wait. And one last thing--I have to mention how much I love the name Ashnavayarian and all its interesting variants! So freaking cool.
Weird but good
This is a great story of understanding humanity's greatest love and courage. The human Tor teaches these traits to an arrogant immortal Ash. A lesson Ash learns all too well. Loved this book I will be starting the next in the series right away.
This was a welcome background story to McKenna's Guardians of the Mythe stories, as well as her book Human Choices. The characters have a complex relationship, one that is confusing to both of them. Although these types of romances are fairly formulaic in terms of where the characters start and where they end up, the journey of this was one was entertaining and fresh.
