I really liked this book actually. I liked the concept of it and I think it was written really well. I found myself really liking the main characters and it held quite a bit of suspense. It was a good light read.
CD Reiss has outdone herself with Forbidden, and I feel like hugging her for giving us such an amazing story and a character like Fiona Drazen. It's unlike anything out there and unlike anything Reiss has written before. So many times this story put me through the emotional meat grinder and punched me in the gut only to turn around and fill me with complete joy. It's emotionally devastating, psychologically intriguing, and equal parts agonizing and poignant. And it's a story that will stick with you long after you've finished it.
The older girls began to roll their stomachs in undulating waves. Copying them, I realized that the rolling movement mimicked the labor contraction, the muscles squeezing to push the baby down.
Thats what this book is. Dancing. Hope you like it. I could understand dancing at the betrothal celebration, but when they dance for the birthing to help the woman in labor breathe? Or when Jayden is dancing literally 5 minutes after burying her mother? I just didn't connect, and none of the characters made impressions on me. DNF at 30%
