meganbmooreSo, for anyone else who's read this far in this series, is it just me, or did the events in this book feel rather...random? If I'm completely honest, I'm not entirely certain what's going on in the last 200 or so pages in the grand scheme of things. (Which is not to be interpretted as "I didn't like the book.")
anyway...
So, Elise and Jared are married now. While I HIGHLY APPROVE of this, I rather object to everything between "I love you, but I don't know if we can ever be together" "I'll wait for you" and "We're married nd having a kid in a few months" happening off screen...page...whatever. Why do I get the feeling it's Lindskold's way of telling us we'll never see Bright Bay again?
And am I to assume as the Wise Beasts take Firekeeper and Blind Seer to be married now? And the humans pretty much the same? Because that's what it seemed like to me.
Meanwhile, we have a lot more Old World/New World Wise beasts, hybrids, and races. Which is where it started to lose me, because suddenly we had Once Dead and Twice Dead and Old World refugees and hunters and crossing over into the Old World and people being held prisoner there(and am I right in detecting a more-than-siblings thing with the twins, there?) and illnesses that make men into beastmen and seers into superseers and there was a trickster god-type character who has a crush on Firekeeper and all sorts of really interesting things that I could only half follow because there was so much happening so fast.
And if none of that made sense reading it...well, the book isn't much nicer to you. Yet, it was awesome.
And...uhm...I kind of feel guilty now for wishing something interesting would happen to Derian. I'm wondering what the Querinalo illness did to Blind Seer and Firekeeper, though.
