's review

it was ok

** spoiler alert ** Hi everyone, first of all Im from Spain so Im sorry if my english is not the best. Os the first time I write something like this and Im sad to say that I don’t know if I can finish this book.
I ordered it as soon as it was announced and as soon as it was on the air I downloaded it and started reading and at the moment my disappointment cannot be greater... inconsistencies everywhere... Not only with stories that the author mentioned or talked about years ago, even with the previous book.

Spoilers!





NALLA? IS THAT YOU?
At the end of Lassiter's book we see Beth saying about Nalla that is "loyal to her friends and extended family of sorority cousins, a devout daughter." And in the first chapters we find the opposite: a woman who says that this group of people she has grown up with is because she has been forced to do so, with whom she has nothing in common and apears to see herself as superior to them because they dot share her way of seeing things. The relationship with the males (with whom she has grown as a cousin and almost sister) is null and void. Her only friend is Bitty and even she misstreate her when she points out that she wants to spend more time with the others. Her relationship with the other female of the new generation we already know, Lyric, seems to be one of tolerance.

And speaking of Lyric, she and her brother, they are a kind of focus of elegance that move perfectly fine in socially and have a part from frivolity. SERIOUSLY KIDS RAISED BY QHUINN, BLAY, LAYLA AND XCOR FIT IN THAT PICUTRE?

And on the top ..... BITTY and L.W.? I’m sorry but I can not see those two together.... Simply NO!! (Nalla? Lyric? Maybe but not Bitty!! Dont know why but os not ok on my mind)
I’ll finish the book because I bought it and because I may be wrong and then some of this things change, but if it’s gonna be the line, I think my adventure with the Brotherhood ends here... The last books I did not like especially but I called the possibility of the new generation. Maybe because I had a very clear vision of them in my head that is clear (for the moment) goes against what Ward thinks.

I’ll keep recommending this series, but I think for me it would end in "A warm heart in winter" and because I love Blay and Qhuinn. As for the future of the brotherhood, I think I’ll stick with my version.
Of course I look forward to your arrival on the screen!!

AnnnA I agree so much! Nalla and Bitty being an outcast was so weird and I was expecting something totally different from Rhamp and Lyric... I'm better off with my headcanons I think. :(
