Compared with the first book, this one was really bad. I seriously don't understand why all the good reviews and I wonder if I read the same book.1. The plot:It doesn't have any plot. Have you seen a cartoon TV series? Problem after problem in every episode without any relation with each episode? That's what you'll find in this one. The book is problem after problem and is very annoying because all of them are because of Emily and her stupidity and ability of getting kidnapped or tricked.2. Emily:Emily is very annoying in this book. She got sick like 4 times and each time she's more stubborn than before, never wanting to cooperate with her doctor, her treatments, her medicines, etc. She's kidnapped like 5 times because of her stupidity and her lack of ability to follow simply rules and instructions. She acts like a spoiled teen in this one. Always complaining because she's boring and don't want guards following her (even after been kidnapped many times). She's always arguing with Chev in front of everyone every time he punishes a Heku for breaking a rule, even after he have explaining to her many times that he's chief enforcer and he have to be very strict with them. She's always making clear she don't want to be part of the coven and yet she's always sticking her head in Chev business... Seriously, if you like stupid girls in your books, go for it.3. Chevalier:I don't like him in this one. He's very violent with Emily. He attacks her like three times in this one and he's always hiding things from her and I don't like that in a relationship. I guess I'm all team Kyle in this one.4. Love triangle:Poorly developed. Kyle is in love with Emily, you got that from the first book, but in this one he acts like Chev's best friend! They even make inner jokes about Emily. You don't get any tension between Chev and Kyle, even when Chev knows he's in love with her, and Kyle acts very normal with Emily. There's no confrontation, sexual tension... nothing interesting happens between them. It was really good. Can't wait to read the next one. Really great series. I think it's important to say that each book has read like a short novella, that when combined with the book before make up a larger novel. I like the way the author does this as more detail can be put into the book. I am however a little disappointed that we go from one big moment to a year later in one chapter, but by the same token I don't think much could have been done with that time.
What do You think about Valle (2010)?
This book has it ups and downs but all in all i really enjoyed it!!
