Wow. This book was emotional, but it was great. I loved the storyline. It had ups, it had downs, it had angst. It had everything you needed. I would have, however, liked a bit more confrontation. I think everything, and there were some heavy subjects, that really needed an explosive confrontation.
I liked Jake and Aurora, they were great lights.
Frederick started out great for me, then majorly skipped in my opinion. The way he went about things just didn’t sit right to me. I know it’s symptomatic of how he always handled things, but after how he was at the start, it didn’t sit well with me.
Rachel was strange for me. I couldn’t get a read on her, which may have been the point, but I found it frustrating. There were so many times I wanted her to rage and instead she whimpered. I wanted a strong female lead and Rachel wasn’t it. I know she’s been through some stuff, but her anger could’ve stiffened her. Angry Rachel needed to make a bigger apparence.
At the end of the day though, this was a solid book, if not quite everything I was wanting.
