Just finished this book.Someone said that 4 star reviews are read more than 5 and they therefore rated it 4 but that's BS. This book is 5 stars hands down. No question in my mind. Though it does start a little slow.
Someone else said this book had no storyline, the characters just fly around killing and being killed. They said the main character was underdeveloped and unbelievable. Being several thousand years old she should have learned a few things along the way and seemed to have learned nothing. While I partially agree with that, there are some revelations regarding the main character that help you understand why she is the way she is. That reviewer must have stopped reading before they got that far or simply did not recognize them for what they are.
Having said that there is not much in the way of character arc for the main character. The only reason she ends up different than when she started is that she made a bet at the end that she lost and one of the other main characters forces her to stick to her word and honor the bet. But for some of the other characters there is definite arc and though a lot of the book was painful to read because the main character is such a spoiled brat and a raging B**CH, the arc for the other characters really pays off in the end and is very satisfying once you make it there.
The book does have a story line, albeit a bit haphazard. But that is actually what made it so good. I could not predict where the story was going. Things happened that were totally unexpected. The story ended in a completely different place then I ever would have thought and as I said before, some of it was very painful. The main character is unrelentingly spoiled and selfish and it does get really hard to read after a point. But as I said before, the payoff is great and you do find out why she is the way she is. *Spoiler* Deep down she worries that the first time she died, she lost her soul and that heavily influences who she is and what she does.
So I say this book is easily a GREAT BOOK!! and well worth reading and plugging along through the tough spots. As one of my favorite actors said in one of my least favorite movies, "The sweet wouldn't be as sweet without the bitter." That is very applicable to this book.
And I have read just about all of Sara King's books and highly, highly recommend her stuff!! She is consistently a strong story teller and has terribly riveting stories. Her characters are deep as her aim is character driven stories, which I believe she succeeds at.
She does brutalize her characters, so beware!! I do mean brutalize!! They go through some heavy Sh*t!!

Wings of Retribution Millennium Potion Sara King Books Reviews
Sara King is an author of "character-driven" books. In other words, if you actually like pages of techno-babble in Sci Fi books, or five pages of description of a single dress in romance books, Ms. King's books aren't for you. However, if you want to be inside a character's head and heart, to feel and think what they do and why, you've hit the jackpot! "To the Princess Bound," the first book in the "Terms of Mercy" series was my first experience of Ms. King's genius. I was hooked before I finished the first page, and knew I'd found a new addition to my very short list of favorite authors.
Wings of Retribution The Millennium Potion is an (as yet) stand-alone Sci Fi novel by Sara King. It takes place in a future so distant that no one knows where Earth actually is/was or even if it still exists. Seven thousand years in the past of the current time, a Potion that extends human lifespan nearly indefinitely was created by Marceau Temple. He dosed himself, his daughter and a few of her friends with the original concoction, making them virtually immortal and indestructible by being able to regenerate destroyed body parts. The remainder of humanity is given a watered-down version of the Potion that merely extends life and has to be taken every 100 years for its effects to endure.
Athenais Owlbourne, née Marcella Tempest, is more than 7,000 years old, the second-oldest person in existence next to her father and a pirate. Marceau is the unchallenged leader (dictator) of The Utopia, which encompasses all the known worlds and there is nothing Athenais would love more than to take down the Utopia, her father and destroy the Millennium Potion. When asked by a trio of shape shifters who have access codes to get them into Marceau's domain to help them do just that, she buys in, even though shifters are nearly extinct due to having been hunted and killed by humans and have extremely high bounties on their heads.
Attie's co-pilot, Dallas York, a/k/a "Fairy" because she's a "stick fairy" who can maneuver her ship out of virtually any threatening situation is a nosy little thing, only 34 years old and desperately lonely. Hiding in a broom closet she overhears a conversation between Attie and Ragnor, Attie's second and lover, that he is also a shifter and the other shifters are his family. Unable to keep the secret to herself, Fairy goes to a bar to find the ship's surgeon to share the secret. Dr. Smallfoot betrays his crewmates, kills Attie and turns in the shifters to the Utopian agents for the reward. What ensues is fun and entertaining as Attie and Dallas, Attie's friend, Rabbit, who is another Original, like Attie, and Stuart, who was with the shifters in the bar, but isn't a shifter, but a parasite-like being who can enter a human brain and virtually take over its body attempt to rescue the real shifters.
This book is lighter than most of Ms. King's books, with several of the characters being seriously logic-challenged, but funny anyway. Unlike in her other books, the characters emotions aren't heavily explored, and I found this disappointing, hence the 4-star rating. In spite of this it is, for the most part, an enjoyable read.
The author, Sara King, says she writes about character and allows the characters to drive the story. I enjoyed the author's Zero series but not this one because the storyline (is there a storyline?) is almost irrelevant - all that is done is fly around the universe, kill, be killed, with impossible escapes from impossible situations. The main character, Attie, is supposed to be many thousands of year old but her personal development must have stopped very early on, remaining spoiled, self-centered, with zero thoughtfulness and zero anger control, and little intelligence. It is inexplicable to me that she seems to have learned nothing in her very long life, therefore for me she was unbelievable. For me, she would have been more believable if she were a teenager, but that would be another story. Fairy is the same way and is supposed to be in her thirties, but equally childish. Rabbit is the only millennial who seems to have matured with age.
That said, the writing is good, the aliens were interesting and the pace is fast and furious. If you can suspend your disbelief over the stupid actions of some of the characters, then you will enjoy this book.
