The Enchanter Heir by Cinda Williams Chima
3.0
When I heard that The Heir Series was going to be continued, I was ecstatic--so needless to say, I had high expectations for this book. But I feel like it was... well... kind of a letdown. Don't get me wrong; I love Chima's writing since they're so well-written and she has a great style. The Enchanter Heir had a great premise, and it was nice to see old characters again, but the story was incredibly awkwardly paced. Also, there were several major details that kind of weakened the book:
1. I spent half of the book wondering, "How the heck did Jonah kill Marcy? He had to have touched people before her." This question wasn't answered/made clear until halfway through the book, until Natalie said that the poison mutated the survivors' powers.
2. Emma's "attraction" to Jonah and vice versa made ABSOLUTELY no sense. Please, for heaven's sake, don't expect us to believe the whole "Jonah's got charm" thing.
3. Okay, this is my last point. How the hell did Emma survive kissing Jonah? If his touch kills on contact, then why the heck isn't she dead???
