hollyempey 's review for:
Eld
by Mats Strandberg, Sara Bergmark Elfgren
I liked this one so much better than the first! Finally, finally, the girls are starting to work together, and they feel like a group, rather than random individuals who don't have anything to do with each other.
A few thoughts: Nicolaus. He just sort of disappeared. And why, exactly, did they have to keep everything a secret? Like, why couldn't Principal what's-her-bucket know about the demons? She's on their side, after all. Even more so in this book. And although I like understanding more about "The Council" and everything, they just make everything more complicated, right? Why are they such haters? Who don't KNOW ANYTHING? Also, I was disappointed by Viktor's character. I thought he might be a pseudo-Elias, or that he would be more involved (positively involved) with the Circle. Perhaps the next book.
The Most Surprising goes to: Ida. Which in and of itself is surprising. Halfway through the book, I was so incredibly frustrated, because IDA. WASN'T. CHANGING. She was just as an awful person as she was all through The Circle. What's the point in having such an angry, peevish character, IF THEY AREN'T GOING TO CHANGE. But, then, without you really knowing when or how, she does. Slowly, she starts thinking about others besides herself. She starts to realize that she's been doing wrong, and that she needs to be a team player. And then... then...... that ending. That ending... I was just starting to like her!
Also: I totally called the lesbian action back in the beginning of Book 1.
And: POTTY MOUTH ALERT!
