Roar. Roar. Roar.



My heart, I can't. I feel like I'm tethered to Roar the same way Perry is to Aria. Honest to god, I hate Liv. She's so flat and unidimensional. I wish he'd gone through and married Sable, I would have had more respect for her if she had.

I couldn't stand Perry's whining anymore. I was really disappointed with him. He was really cool and strong in book 1, and here he was reduced to a whimpering, sniveling pile of anxieties. He's Blood Lord for god's sake! I wanted the boy to shape up and show everyone why he deserves to be Blood Lord. Ultimately, everything that he “accomplished” was because of either Reef, Marron or Kirra. He didn't actually do anything on his own... I'm so frustrated with how his character developed. Come on bro,



Aria was pretty cool, I love how she supports Roar like he's the most precious being in her life. I kinda ship it more than Aria/Perry. Roar and Aria understand each other and have more moments of tenderness than with their “destined” partners. Aria/Perry and Roar/Liv are both very physical relationships in my opinion. Whereas Aria/Roar actually has weight and meaning. Obviously this ship is never going to happen, but I still think it makes more sense. I'll proudly steer this ship down to it's watery grave.



BUT ANYWAY,

Where was the sense of danger? I din't feel that there was any real threat to their lives. The Aether is vaguely worrisome, but Sable and Hess are as evil as newborn babies. I guess they didn't get the memo on how to be a successful villain. Soren is neat, I liked him in the first book and I'm happy he's become an ally.

I'm pretty sure I can predict the plot of book 3 but, I'll give it a shot anyway. My predictions: Liv is still alive and will miraculously be sparred from marrying Sable. Sable will probably die (at Roar's hand most likely), apparently there are a bunch of kids like Cinder from another pod, Perry and Aria will possibly go after them. I'm sensing that Brooke and Soren are going to hook up. They're compatible in how cray they are. Let's see how right (or wrong) I am in my predictions.
