Feverborn by Karen Marie Moning
3.0
Warning: very minor spoilers!
This book definitely eclipsed Burned. I really liked it, I just don't think it's as strong as Iced and the early Fever books.
Finally we get more Dani/Jada. This was definitely the strongest part of the book--endearing, painful, wonderful. I loved that Dancer put Ryodan and Mac in their places and set the tone for treating Jada like a real human being. I must say, the newest character that Jada introduced was super surprising and the mystery involved there is gut wrenching. I just have to know now what really went down!
Mac's POV was much better than in Burned but still had me skipping pages of useless boringness. And, come on---how could she be that daft about her sister AND the sweeper? she is smarter than that!! I just felt like her part of the story wasn't so crucial and could have been cut way down.
I think one of the weaknesses of this book is all the many POVs. like, was it absolutely necessary to get so many pages of Christian at the funeral? or to describe how Christian and Mac were going to go to the general store to get shovels?
To me, Jada's character did seem a little inconsistent with her character in Burned. in Burned, she's set on killing all these people one by one--and then in Feverborn, she saying she was so excited to get back to Dublin she was expecting it to be the best day of her life. huh? in Burned she says she most anticipates her fight with Daku--what's up with that? no mention of Daku in Feverborn! but I definitely like her better in this book than in Burned.
I did really enjoy Lor stepping to the plate and showing off his fine brain. hilarious. and his reaction to Dani all grown up was so sweet.
The Jada/Ryodan parts trumped all. Awesome!
I'm surprised we still don't know what Dancer is and who is behind WeCare! grrr gonna have to wait till the next book to find out!!! can't wait for more Jada/Ryodan action!!!! :D
