I kept hoping that Eugenie would get a clue....wise up a bit, stop avoiding her issues. Not sure it will happen. I love a good flawed character, but only if they work through it. Avoidance (among others -trust, self-reliance, power, responsibility) is a tough one, no doubt, but her moments of clarity should become catalysts for change, not an excuse for "woe is me, no one understands." I wanted her to step up, and stop taking the path of least resistance, allowing the consequences to buffet her around and force more choices (or in her case, non-choice). I want her to find her inner power. I got the first three books in the series, not realizing there's a fourth. Do I hunt down number 4? Or do I let her go? Okay first off I'm so tired of her going back and forth with the men. Oh no kiyo hurt me I'm going to Dorian. Oh no Dorian hurt me let's have revenge sex with kiyo. Oh no now kiyos trying to kill me let go beg Dorian for more help and no doubt fall into his bed in the next book. It's all very ridiculous. Buuuut besides that, this book was actually an improvement from the others. She's stuffed a lot of action into the plot and that's always something I can appreciate. I like that she's keeping the babies. It was a very realistic mom response. You don't know how much to appreciate life until it's growing inside of you. I can imagine how hard it is to hear heartbeats and decide you don't want that. So very well done Mead. But please... STOP WITH THE MEN HOPING! I'm really starting to hate kiyo. I still have a decent amount of respect for Dorian but that won't last long if this continues.
What do You think about Feenkrieg (2011)?
I was really disappointed when she jumped in with Kiyo so quickly. Not Richelle's best work.
