In short: Interesting (though imperfect) plot. I will try to tone down my narcissism meanwhile. I should probably go back to the actual review and talk about stuff that's relevant to this book. Your mind and mouth will no longer censor itself, and Meda, my love.the fucks will fly. You have much to learn as you grow into your twenties. But I can see the potential in Meda as she grows up to be more like me. Meda is a teenager! I was a squeaky clean teenager once. And Meda, while fantastically snarky sometimes, never has a profanity-laden vocabulary. There are some discrepancies between us, ok? I can't fight, and I'm more inclined to run (seriously, I am a fast little mofo), and I used to sleep with the blankets tucked up all around me, particularly around my feet so that monsters wouldn't eat my toes while I cowered in bed. Eliza Crewe managed to capture my personality so well without ever having known me, without having met me, without knowing of my existence in any conceivable way, but bravo, Ms. Therefore, it is with the greatest amount of shame and hypocritical horror when I found myself laughing as I read this book, "MEDA IS JUST LIKE ME." I don't know how Ms. Do you even realize how stupidly the characters in Romeo & Juliet behaved? Nuh uh. I really, really fucking hate it when a character in a book refers to a character in another book and exclaims "She's just like me!" No, beeyotch, you are not Elizabeth Bennet *snaps fingers*. And when Meda uncovers a shocking secret about her mother, her past, and her destiny… she may finally give into it.more Playing capture the flag with her mortal enemies, babysitting a teenage boy with a hero complex, and trying to keep one step ahead of a too-clever girl are bad enough. This is her chance! Play along with the “good guys” and she’ll finally figure out what, exactly, her ‘kind’ is.īe careful what you wish for. Before they get the chance Meda is rescued by crusaders, members of an elite group dedicated to wiping out Meda’s kind. The problem? They kind of want to kill her. Meda might finally have a chance to figure out what she is. That is, until the three men in suits show up.
Besides, what else can she do? Her mother was killed and it’s not like there are any other “soul-eaters” around to show her how to be different. But she totally promises to only go for people who deserve it.
