Another great D D Barant Book. I found this one a little darker than the others. A lot of the battle being waged was one within the main character, Jace's mind, and as a criminal psychologist he certainly has some dark moments tucked away in the recesses. More than anything I enjoy Jace's never give up attitude. Just when you think everything is lost, she pulls reserves up from somewhere inside herself, strengthens her resolve to do what is right, never waits for someone to come and save her and gets on with doing what she has to do. This, laced with heavy doses of sarcasm and a serious coffee addiction makes me really fond of her as a character. Once again, another short review with very little in the way of plot reveals, in depth discussion or analysis...mainly because I am rushing into the next book with great glee and enthusiasm, and partly because these books are simply FUN. I don't want to analyse them in terms of any filters , I just enjoy...well ENJOYING them for what they are. Once again, I liked this. A bit info-dumpy, but entertaining. Some facts/events left me, again, wondering why/how, but it didn't bother me much. I seem to have mixed feelings about these books and I guess I know why. Jace reminds me of what Shitblake could've been (coffee-drinking, gun-using, sarcasm-loving badass without the shitty qualities [misogyny, slut-shaming, double standards, bitchiness, neediness and rapeyness to mention couple] Blake has), so I guess that ups my reviews to some extent. I can't help but compare these two (Blake/Jace) and that itself makes D.D. Barant stand out in a good way. And I find the writing funny. And 10 points for Charlie.
What do You think about Killing Rocks (2010)?
Needed more Charlie. And less of Jace mindlessly running around mixed with quasi-flashbacks.

Yay! I love Jace all the Jace's! She's snarky, kickass and fun three of my favourite things!

It's like inception but with myths and universes.
