The Phury story was decent. Mostly the book is good for tying up the first batch of characters, moving the plot and stakes of the Lessening Society, and introducing the next characters to find love. The new characters and new dangers are interesting and plan to continue with the series!
Le iba a dar menos nota, sobre todo después de la parte de la lista de películas y los mensajes de texto. No sé si será el mismo modelo de teléfono, pero parecía que los mensajes los escribía la misma persona y eran de 6 personajes diferentes. Pero creo que al no centrarse tanto en la pareja de Phury y Cornia le ha ayudado, por lo menos a mí me lo parece, sobre todo porque es una pareja que no me importa tanto. Y me pareció mejor que el de Butch, no puse tanto los ojos en blanco ni quise estrellar mi cara contra algo.
Lo bueno: No se centra tanto en la pareja. Se centra más en tramas y personajes secundarios. Se introducen nuevos personajes interesantes. Los Restrictores por fin empiezan a hacer algo.
Lo malo: Es muy largo. Y los mensajes de texto, claro.
Lo peor: Voy a seguir leyéndolos. Ahora estoy intrigada por la historia de Rehv. Y quiero saber más sobre Lassiter.
If this series were a TV show, the first book would be the conventional pilot with a few hints of something intriguing. Books 2 -5 are the season's development and exploration of different characters and storylines. Book 6 then, is the explosive season finale, complete with plot twists and dramatic shifts in understanding how the universe works, including changes to the balance of power, revelations about characters, new types of beings, and expansion of the story's goals. I liked it a lot. Ready for Season 2!
So, I'm mostly skimming the lesser chapters, but the bad thing is halfway through the book I started doing a lot of skimming of Phury & Cormia's POVs too. As a couple they are good together, but if they had just talked plainly I feel like things would have been fine between them so much sooner.
What am I liking? John's parts. He is the one putting me in tears.
I'm glad after the halfway point we finally got some happy moments, because all the sadness was really getting to me...
