But seeing as how the previous volume's cliffhanger was resolved with nothing more than a few pages and a "he blew himself up, problem solved!", it's hard to feel much for this one. Kinda looks like I can't purchase the last couple of books, so I guess the story ends here for me, on a cliffhanger. Maybe it's explored further in the novels, but somehow I'm skeptical. And the fact that Max now has another sister is NEVER mentioned? Like, Martinez's other daughter features so little, I can't even remember her name at the moment. Why she doesn't even consider this a possibility is beyond me. I still hate Jeb, and there is no reason Max should listen to a single thing he says, or trust that the events at the end of the book are anything more than another "test" set up by him and his cronies. It's not even once portrayed as problematic. Get this gross plotline out of juvenile fiction. Although it is told from Max's probably unreliable POV, it's come up enough times that my ick-ometer is swinging wildly. And the book states multiple times that the flirting is two-way. Of perhaps higher import, is the amount of flirting going on between Fang, a FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD and Brigid, who is in her TWENTIES? CALL. First of all, the number of times Max has referred to Fang as a brother is TOO DANG HIGH for a love interest. racist.? I'm not the only one seeing that, right.?Īnd while I'm airing concerns, I'm going to also drop in a couple other things I find.
