I'm SO glad you enjoyed this one, but I...Squee! I'm SO glad you enjoyed this one, but I have to agree with you: Avry reminded me A LOT of Yelena.<br /><br />I was also really dissapointed by Kerrick hitting Avry (NOT. COOL.) but I wonder about the recurring them of violence in Snyder's work... what happened to Yelena prior to the Study series (the guy she killed?), then the recurring kidnaps, then the same in the Glass series (kidnaps and torture), then torture again in the Inside/Out books. It's peculiar. I kind of grew to like Kerrick, but it left a bad taste in my mouth BECAUSE of the violence. That kind of violence is NOT acceptable, and it left me feeling conflicted.<br /><br />OMG! How amazing is the villain? he reminded me of Warner from Shatter Me!<br /><br />I do agree with you on uniqueness: ToP felt a LOT like Poison Study.<br /><br />Ooooh! Do you know Maria's doing an author chat on the HarlequinTEEN Australia Facebook this Friday? http://www.facebook.com/harlequinteenaus SO excited for it. I LOVE Maria.<br /><br />Seriously,Sarah (saz101)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08936602748682093150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-54509179364670074262012-01-22T17:22:53.180+00:002012-01-22T17:22:53.180+00:00I've just been over and read your post.

Haha, I wish I could have pretended it ...Thank you! Haha, I wish I could have pretended it never happened, then I would have enjoyed their relationship a lot more. Heck, I would have actually liked it! <br /><br />I preferred the characters in Poison Study, definitely. I'm not sure if that's because I read it and fell in love with them first, but these just didn't give off the same vibe. Or something.<br /><br />I can't wait to see more of the world in the sequels! It was my favourite part!Amber (Books of Amber)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01750403330691361583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-982709987160932322012-01-22T17:15:29.046+00:002012-01-22T17:15:29.046+00:00You're welcome :)You're welcome :)Amber (Books of Amber)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01750403330691361583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-11119042741674401622012-01-22T05:04:46.298+00:002012-01-22T05:04:46.298+00:00I'm SO glad you mentioned the relationship bet...I'm SO glad you mentioned the relationship between Avery and Kerrick.

Totally agree with you! Ugh, Kerr...Nicely reviewed! Totally agree with you! Ugh, Kerrick <i>bothered</i> me. I was eventually able to swoon for him, but only after pretending his total jerk behavior never happened. Hitting her, tying her to a tree, just awful. <br /><br />I agree, the characters did feel like they were all cut from the same cloth as the Poison Study characters (but not as good, I thought). I love those kinds of characters though, so even though I recognize that they weren't that original I let that slide because I had fun with them. <br /><br />I ADORED the fantasy elements/world-building though! So fantastic!Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-50043188145865979682012-01-19T15:57:17.336+00:002012-01-19T15:57:17.336+00:00Thanks for the review.
