The worst thing though was that it takes almost the entire book for the characters to come to the conclusion that the freaks are getting smarter and are not what they originally seemed. Yes, yes, Deuce is a huntress, she's good at killing things, she doesn't do tea parties, I GET IT! I find this particular plot device boring to begin with, so I really had no tolerance for Deuce repeating her complaints OVER AND OVER. I was especially frustrated with all the time spent on Deuce's repetitive inner-monologues on how she doesn't fit into the society because they expect her to wear a dress and do women's work. This did happen, just not as much as I wanted and not nearly as much as it did in Enclave. I wanted to see Deuce and Fade fight back to back and slaughter scary hordes of freaks.

It was all very sweet and I might have even aw-ed out loud once or twice.īut I didn't want sweet! I wanted ACTION. I was even reminded a little of Anne of Green Gables with all the adoptive-parents-dote-on-and-love-adopted-daughter scenes. On one hand, it was a good, solid book with a decent balance of action and introspection (though, for me, there was a little too much introspection and other stuff and not nearly enough action, but you know me and action).Īnn Aguirre continues to expand Deuce's character and I loved following along as she discovered what it means to have a family.
