Fence: Disarmed
by Sarah Rees Brennan
*sighs*
I was extremely frustrated throughout this book. Everything I liked about Aiden is gone and I just can’t get over how horribly this book treated Harvard. This series has a Harvard problem.
This book does more with Seiji and Nicholas, which was the storyline I cared the least about in the last book. I usually enjoy Seiji's POV, but this book was repetitive with every one of Seiji and Nicholas' chapters being about their complicated feelings regarding Jesse. I really don't care. I was here for Harvard and Aiden.
We sort of get to see Harvard have a life outside of Aiden. With Aiden treating Harvard like shit the entire trip, Harvard catches up with an old friend Arune. Honestly, he and Eugene were the only people that seemed to care about Harvard in this book. Where do I even start?
This book blames Harvard for the entire miscommunication with Aiden. That's fucked up. Harvard hid his feelings for Aiden because he'd watched for years as Aiden treated all of his conquests as disposable. Aiden told him to his face that their relationship didn't mean anything. How is it Harvard's fault that he assumed he wouldn't be special? Honestly, the number of times this book showed Aiden and Harvard together where a group of people ignored Harvard to hit on Aiden + Aiden telling Harvard he was boring, it's no wonder Harvard didn't think his feelings would be returned. Instead of having Aiden acknowledge his role in their issues, this book puts all of the blame on Harvard. That's not fair.
Harvard supports his team all the time. They didn't even attend his match. Not only does that suck and completely goes in line with the theme of Harvard supporting others and getting hardly anyt support in return, but it really sucked because the team had been shit on by all of the other schools the entire trip. Harvard really needed the support.
We still get hardly any information about Harvard's past outside of Aiden. This series has an Harvard problem.
The Aiden/Harvard scenes were the entire reason I read this book and this just made me really sad. Harvard deserved to be treated better and I couldn't even be happy about the outcome. It's clear the writer loves Aiden and doesn't care about Harvard. It's so sad because he's so sweet and this was the only real chance to see him get more attention.
