And while I'm not sure that books for other audience levels outside of YA aren't necessarily any more or less accepting of fair representation, I have read a lot of books recently that do deal with people from so many different walks of life. In any other book, Evie would probably be portrayed as the mean or slutty girl, so I appreciated Bray's choices in her characterization (even if Evie did get on my nerves occasionally).Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-74451542345071401212013-09-08T15:34:04.030+01:002013-09-08T15:34:04.030+01:00Yes!

There were parts where I thought it was a bit too bloated and I had some issues with contradictory behaviour/characterisation, but overall it definitely became a favourite. I only regret not waiting until <i>Lair of Dreams</i> was released!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-78115364427779995452013-09-07T21:08:30.222+01:002013-09-07T21:08:30.222+01:00I just finished reading this book!!! and oh my goo...I just finished reading this book!!! and oh my goodness I loved it! It was so good and I am counting down the days till the sequel comes out!!!! Have you read her other books? A great and terrible beauty! I loved that one as well! Jericho and Evie were my favorites and I can't wait to see what happens to all the relationships in the next one! Great review by the way!

After all, do we not read for enjoyment? I don't think size matters as long you're enjoying what you're reading. And every page is pure enjoyment to read, from the beginning to the very end. <br /><br />I'm glad you loved it too, Amber!
