Here I had hopes that the characters would be a bit more mature but no such a luck.
And every book seems like a rehearsal of the previous ones. You always get the same "characters" with almost identical problems etc. I already read the whole series but I just do not want to review it. And honestly, I cannot tell the characters and the plot from those books apart. If you ask me in which (view spoiler)[book the female heroin went behind the backs of her man with the help of his men to get rid of an FBI agent (hide spoiler)] I would have no idea. I know that it happened but I have no idea with which characters and in which book....more
Well, I almost never started this book. I was not really a fan of the other series, but this was just sitting in my shelf, so I just picked it up... IWell, I almost never started this book. I was not really a fan of the other series, but this was just sitting in my shelf, so I just picked it up... I don't know if it's caused by a recent disastrous book (still trying to decide if it was the worst book I've ever read) but I actually liked this. I think this is somewhere like 3,5*. But I need to say that as far as fae books go, I prefer the Dark Swan series from Richelle Mead for several reasons.
I'm going have only a couple things to say about this novel: - I didn't like Feyre from the beginning. Because she did seriously dumb things. How many times does she have to be told to stay inside that it's dangerous? I got more problems with her but as the novel progressed I was actually okay with her. - I don't like Tamlin! At all. What's the appeal? Hope she leaves him. - I love Lucien. He's such a sweetheart! I actually sort of hoped for Lucien/Feyre more than Tamlin/Feyre. I want more of him in the next books because as the series progressed he always had to leave the pages to let the Tamlin/Feyre happen. I actually just want to see Lucien and Feyre be friends! Lucien needs friends! And I want him to meet with his mother again! - Can I say that I adore Rhysand? I love his cruel side; I really hope he won't lose it in the next books. I have high hopes for his deal with Feyre. - The riddle at the end was ridiculously easy. Same as the loophole Amarantha had prepared. I wonder if she ordered everyone not to talk about the loophole cause there is no chance that Rhysand or Lucien did not see it. - As for Feyre's family. Nesta was shown as the bad guy at the beginning, but I actually liked her more than Elain who was really useless. As for their father? I sort of agree with Nesta. I wonder if they'll appear in the rest of the series. I actually think that Nesta and Lucien could have some hilarious conversations. - I have some problems with some things in the novel (the body painting...), but I don't think there is a point in discussing that since I believe we will have more insight on that in the next book.
Overall I liked it. Not my all time favourite but I can say I'm pleasantly surprised. (Blame the book that lowered the bar for me!)...more
I thought that I was obsessed with Jackal after the first book. Well, if that was an obsession, I don't know what is it now!
4/5⭐
So, a couple of notes:I thought that I was obsessed with Jackal after the first book. Well, if that was an obsession, I don't know what is it now!
4/5⭐
So, a couple of notes:
-I think that this one was better than the previous one. Especially the beginning was very strong. -First hundred something pages I could not stop grinning but then chapter 8 came, and it went downhill. -I love Jackal even more than in the previous book. -Jackal and Allison have amazing dynamics between them. So much fun. -Where I was so happy that Zeke was nowhere to be seen when the book started, I was certainly unhappy when he showed up. (view spoiler)[And it seems a bit like deus ex machina that all of them suddenly went to the exact same city. Or that Zeke even knew where the city was. And honestly? There was nothing that would even hint that Allison was going there! (hide spoiler)] -Where there was a lot of action when it was only Jackal and Allison with Zeke it turned into a talk show. They are in the middle of danger but he needed to talk! -Stick did not deserve any better; he is a coward and backstabber. -The whole "cure" thing seems to be a bit confusing, hopefully, it will be explained in the next book, cause I don't buy it. (view spoiler)[Also them not giving the cure blood to Jackal is a pretty awful thing to do. Without him, they all would be dead. Idiots. And since, I'm already in the spoiler thing; how much of the infected blood is needed to infect a vampire? Because Zeke was coughing up blood and when Allison kissed him, I would expect that she swallowed some of the blood. But then she should feel the side effects, right? Or is there some quantity? Or did the author overlook this? (hide spoiler)] -Jackal is right, Kanin and Allison waste their time on stupid things when they have no time to waste. -Is it wrong that I sort of like Sarren? He's the type of a villain I love. -And I knew that the end was too good to be true... And the Epilogue had to give it away. I want to scream because that would be the best plot twist in a long time! (view spoiler)[Sorry, I really don't like Zeke, and I got a bit too excited when I thought he was killed. But now I wonder if he may be the cure for the rabidism, he has the cure for the Red Lung virus which was now mixed with him being a vampire. (hide spoiler)]
"And here I almost thought you weren't a complete bastard."
So, where to start? I had this book on my shelf since 2012 or 2013, but I never had time to read it. And toI am absolutely obsessed with Jackal!
3,5/5⭐
So, where to start? I had this book on my shelf since 2012 or 2013, but I never had time to read it. And today I finally did. Right away I have to say that if I read this six years ago, I would have been ABSOLUTELY ecstatic. I would have freaked and asked for more... And where now it was a pleasant read, it was lacking. Somehow. I would say this is 3,5 stars for me.
So few points:
- I love the whole world - At first, I thought that a rabid was a typo for a rabbit. Dont's ask me why. - I was actually pretty okay with Allison; she was an interesting main character. - I want to know more about Kanin. - I am obsessed with Jackal! He's just thy right character for me. - Stick is a useless idiot. - Can someone, please, explain to me how Jeb's group survived that long? Because that's absolutely beyond me. They have zero survival skills, and it seems like pure luck until Allison joined. And you want me to believe that they were okay for over three years? - The Ruth disliking Allison was pretty cheap. (view spoiler)[As was killing her off. Made zero sense. (hide spoiler)] - These people, including the children, are running for years but they still have no idea when to keep quiet? - I hate Zeke! That guy is useless and boring as Monday morning. It reminds me about books I've read when I was younger when the good guy was way too good, way too perfect. I hated that, always rooted for the bad guys. And Zeke is just that. - I'll definitely continue the series because I like where it's going. Especially with the promise of Zeke not being there for a while.
