A review by brandysbooks
Endurance by Jay Lake

2.0

A few things....

Green is 6 months pregnant out GETTING DRUNK! Tf is wrong with you girl!?!? Probably haven’t ever heard of fetal alcohol syndrome huh?

Jumping rooftops and shit that she clearly should not have been doing....questionable judgements coming from someone who is dead set against harm coming to her child. So it’s ok if you do it but no one else?

Wouldn’t necessarily call Osi and Iso woman haters since they would help a female in need (a least that’s what they say) but it made me mad when they said they would have to go through extreme purification if a woman’s breath even lands on them. Dicks.

At least Green showed sense in not going off to start a war until after she gives birth.

And finally, I get that being a young woman she would have very natural feelings and would want to experiment (did a heck of a lot in the first book). I also get that her hormones are going crazy since she’s pregnant (I’ve had 3 pregnancies myself) but why is she always thinking ab having sex with every female she interacts with!?!? It’s getting old and why is Jay Lake still writing her that way??

I like the plot for the most part though Green has been leaning more and more on others around her, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I’d like for her to keep her original badassery.
