Richard: An Unlikely Love Story by Michael W. Hickman starts with Richard and AAL's sudden appearance at Henry's privy chamber in the Atlantic Ocean. Richard, a fifteen-year-old boy from Ohio, was destined to be the next heir to a spanning galaxy kingdom. He was always assured of his future role whenever he visited the moon to gain more superpowers to equip him for his position as the next in line to be crowned. AAL was the artificial lifeform that always helped him whenever he went to visit his chamber. Upon their appearance, he felt so much pain and burning sensations in his butt, which made him uncomfortable. AAL reassured him that he would soon adjust to it and be fine, even though he assumed that would always be the case whenever he teleported.

Funny enough, Richard's privy chamber could freeze and pin anyone who got in without his prior permission. Hence, he did not need to worry about who entered his chamber while he was away or on Earth. However, he always missed Amber, a partner he loved and admired so dearly, whenever he left, and he wished he could talk to her at the slightest touch. Amber was like a fox, and she was from another planet. How did the two lovebirds cope with their love lives with all that was happening to Richard? Was Richard able to finally get used to his power and position? Grab a copy of Richard: An Unlikely Love Story by Michael W. Hickman, the second volume in the Richard series, to find out.

This book is extremely interesting! I enjoyed the roles of all the characters, but mostly those of Richard and the artificial life form named AAL. AAL truly helped the young boy, both in answering the most confusing questions he had and in helping him evolve most times into the races he was meant to be. AAL ensured everything was kept in place while he was away from Earth. For instance, when Richard was worried about missing the speech he was to make in the Senate, AAL assured him there was no reason to worry as he equipped the intelligent Henry to step in for him and act like him to avoid being recognized as the wrong person. How this book's characters developed and evolved interested me as they made the storylines more thrilling.

I also enjoyed the intimacy and friendship between Richard and his lover, Amber. They truly cared for and loved themselves. The effort of AAL and others to see that Richard was always rescued thrilled me. The only character I had an issue with was Senator Spartacus, who was intentionally against Richard and his throne, but hey, the antagonist makes the protagonist spectacular! Even though this book is the second in the series, it can be read as a standalone.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars for being exceptionally well-edited, with no trace of a grammatical blunder. I must appreciate the author for an incredible job well done in writing a well-engaging story with well-developed characters. The plot was well thought out, and the author's writing style made it easy to imagine the story. Honestly, this is the kind of science fiction that should be adapted into a movie. There was absolutely nothing I disliked about the book. I recommend this book to adult readers who enjoy mystical stories and thrilling stories of space travel with well-developed characters. I do not recommend it to younger readers because it contains a lot of profane words and light sexual content.

I am thrilled to read your review, but, honestly, I am a little confused. Richard is only 15, correct? I’m also wondering why his teleportation chamber is the bathroom. Amber does appear to be supportive, as Richard misses her.
