A Darkling Plain by Philip Reeve
2.0
This series was just such a disappointment after the first book, which I loved. I just feel like the characters were turning into their worst version of themselves.. or at least people that annoyed me to no end.
So many things in this book bothered me. I have no idea why Tom and Hester acted the way they did. It seemed like they weren't really parents at this point. Plus the whole leaving Wren to go find his wife with just a stupid ass note - oh hell no. Murder was in my eyes.
Not like I actually liked their kid Wren, who was just annoying to me. I wanted to like her.. but ugh, I just couldn't. Besides them, Hester was okay.. but yeah, I didn't really like the characters towards the end of this series. If I could somehow get the characters that I met/loved in the first book by the end of this series - well, I think my opinion on everything would've changed for the better. However, that didn't happen and I ended up frustratingly angry with everything that was happening.
Overall, I'm glad that I finally finished this series but I am so freaking disappointed with everyone and everything that happened.
