The way it happens is clear enough, but that whole section seemed kind of stuck-on to further the story. But there is really no natural progression to get there. The characters go off on somewhat of a tangent which kinda/sorta/maybe makes some sense in the context of the plot. The action picks up about 75% of the way through the science starts to make sense.
By the end, I disliked her about as much as I disliked the main character. She was highly underdeveloped and seemed to be stuck into the story as a plot device. There is a new character introduced that I didn't like at all. The whole first part of the book was a missed opportunity for some great action which would have really helped the pacing.
She was scheming and plotting in her head (apparently) but her behaviour was very docile there was a disconnect there. She just seemed angry and brooding most of the time. But honestly, I didn't like Adelice very much. Granted, most of these characters have been well-defined in the first and second books. I wasn't so bored I wanted to put the book down, but when I did have to put it down I wasn't overanxious to get back to it. It's a lot of political maneuvering while Adelice and Cormac continually face off. There is virtually no action until about the last 25% and key characters are absent. The story picks up right where the second book (Altered) left us. It's truly a mix, which is probably why my feelings about it are so mixed. This is a difficult book to categorise, evaluate and give a star rating. I have a ridiculously supportive husband who dreams of being included on a book jacket: "The author lives in Kansas with her husband, two children, and a Tuesday cat." While this is a highly marketable area of expertise, I stay home with my kids, which means my 3 year-old son uses correct grammar and doesn't burn down the house. I hold a Masters in English with a specialization in 18th century women's studies. That's why coffee gets top billing in my intro: its unattainability. I like books as much as I like coffee, but it is easier to read with children hanging on you than drink coffee due to the threat of third degree burns. Writing gives me time to go get a cup without my kids. I can't guarantee it will get you a copy, but it will get your name on the right list to the right people! And thank you for your interest.īIO: I like coffee. However, it's super easy to fill out the review request form. ***HEADS UP REVIEWERS: I don't respond to review requests sent through Goodreads because I don't get on here frequently enough. ****Guess what?! I am writing YA again! Check out Gennifer Albin writing as Geneva Lee and my new series GILT: By Invitation Only coming May 31!****
