So this book started out brilliant.... And then.... well i really couldn't understand the characters, and who was talking to who, i had to go back a few times and re-read paragraphs to understand who said what.
1. Faye, Her parents disappear and you feel her worry through the ceremony, then the moment she meets Jaxen and starts training she really doesn't seem to care. there is a part in the book where there is news of her parents but no one wants to tell her, she thinks to ask Mac at a meeting where she will receive punishment for a fight but doesn't get round to it. A normal person would demand that information first and foremost, not just poddle along all the time. How can this sap be a heroine.
2. Secondly she trusts this Mac character all the time... And he is the most useless character in the book. He keeps Vital information from her (her parents whereabouts) and many other things that played a part in the story but in all honesty couldn't understand what and why he kept it all a secret.
3. Faye and Jaxen Love was so overplayed, and each time they got intimate, someone would call, or walk in the room, or knock the door. Would you answer the phone in a situation like that?
4. Weldons character, again he is only one who put himself out twice to save Faye and she is told not to trust him.
there is an idea of shadow walking in this book which i thought was cool but other than that..........
