I had a love hate relationship with this book. I hated the start but nead midway through the
book, I started to love it. By the end, I was so loving it.
I hated it at first coz it felt like I was missing a lot of
things. I didn’t get it. It was like I time
travelled to an unknown place and time right in the middle of a war. All I wanted
to do was run. I landed on AG6 ( hope I’m
not getting this wrong) not knowing what other places they had, why everything
was rotten and why it seem like it’s not open to public or if there are people
living there. Then Soren and the guys
started going caveman, no, it was more like ferraly insane (if the term exists
hehe). That part wasn’t really a problem
since Aria didn’t understand it either. Then I met my first disliked character, I don’t
even remember her name now. She was Aria’s
best friend, the one who died. She was
whinny, it got realy irritating. I think
she was being that coz she has a thing for Soren. Ok, I probably just made that up. But it’s good her stint in the story was
short or I would not have made it to the good parts. Well, it was just the first chapter, so I read
on.
I came to a chapter titled Peregrine. I was so dumb I didn’t realize the nickname for
Peregrine is Perry. So while going thru
the Chapter, I kept looking for a Peregrine. Totally my fault for being dumb. Why not call the chapters about Perry, Perry
since that’s what the majority calls him? Then the Aether. I didn’t like that I didn’t knew what it was
really since I’m very much into science-y parts of stories. Geek, yes that’s me.
I thought of it as the ether they taught in science class that manifests like
the Aurora Borealis. It didn’t really
help much.
I guess the main problem I had was the world building. It was built and it’s awesome but it was
slowly built though out the story. I’m
impatient. It’s not the books problem,
it’s just my preference to know what I’m jumping into.
The second thing I hated in this book was Aria’s snotty-ness
when she got outside. That’s probably
what being terrified would do to some people.
I just found it too much I had to put the book down several times coz I got
so irritated with her. I like tension
between the male and female protagonists before the romance, I just wasn’t able
to stand her.
I started to like the story when Roar showed up. Aria started to lighten up and I began to
start loving the adventure and their romance.
I haven’t mentioned Perry.
He’s great. He has a good heart
and he follows his gut. He’s strong and
fearless. He’s just great! I can totally see him as a Blood Lord. I loved the way he cared for his family and
friends and Aria. He was sweet, not in
the flower giving kind, but in his own way.
I read comments after reading the book and they always
mentioned the romance. It is a good
romance. It did not overpower the
adventure but it was still strong.
I’ve already finished reading book 2 and I totally loved it
from start to end. This series is a
great adventure with a harshly sweet romance.
