owliac 's review for:
Rain of Shadows and Endings
by Melissa K. Roehrich
I rage read this book. Why 5* then? Because I felt a shit ton of emotions.
The negative reviews are absolutely right, this book is 700 pages of abuse.
And I don't even have a but to justify it.
All characters are doing shit, no one is perfect, they all have flaws some more than others.
SPOILERS ahead
I didn't like the FMC. I hope book 2 explains a bit why she is the way she is. Its nut just the mishandling she went through as a child, she just is how she is. The thing I don't understand is how she acts appealed at everything that is expected of her. Obviously the way fae are treated is not okay but she should know. She acts surprised at every turn but she should have been tought that the Legacy are the faes "better". She drops to her knees in front of Theon as soon as she realizes what he is. So she knows. But why is she acting like she expects equal rights?
And what were her plans for the future? Theon asks that and she doesn't really answer it. What are they teaching fae children will happen after the Selection?
I really wish to understand her thinking because its such an integral part of the whole story. Her whole defiance is based on Theon stealing her future. But the time with her friends was running out anyway.
I honestly grew a bit frustrated at her because it often times felt like she didn't even consider trying. I get failing but refusing to try is another story.
Doesn't justfiy the abuse she experienced but girl at least try to try.
Theon reacted wrong in so many situations. But honestly faced with someone utterly unpredictable, I can understand some of it. Not the abuse, but his frustration. He tried so many different ways and she didn't even try half of the time.
