I don't think I'll bother reading the third book, because I'm really not interested in the love triangle or a brooding Fade. <br /><br />Awesome review though, as always :)Amber (Books of Amber)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01750403330691361583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-85399927096274109572012-10-18T17:21:45.450-04:002012-10-18T17:21:45.450-04:00THIS.

She definitely isn't one to outwardly wallow, and I do very much appreciate that about her. <br /><br />Ugh, Fade. I just, I have no words.

This is a good book, it's just very different from what I was expecting (hoping) to get.

And I like the way you articulated Deuce's obsession with not fitting in in Salvation. THe only thing that helped was that she didn't just sit around and complain. She volunteered when she could, but it would have been nice if her internal dialog had been as proactive--something like, "They may not understand what it means to me to be a Huntress, so I will show them." Which--again--is what her actions told us, if not her constant whining. <br /><br />DITTO ON FADE!Rubitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929614007516530129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-10818957388555849012012-10-06T12:19:41.475-04:002012-10-06T12:19:41.475-04:00Hmm.

I wonder if it's a second book thing. (For the record, I haven't read the third book in the SJ series, so I don't know if it improves or not.) I definitely still want to read Outpost, but I think I'll lower my expectations a bit. And read the author's note.Amanda @ On a Book Benderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975515860710635598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-62963895526088058802012-10-06T09:08:51.068-04:002012-10-06T09:08:51.068-04:00Hmm.
