![]() ![]() Her only concern is about how everything affects her with no concern what so ever for how her actions affect the people around her. ![]() You are forced into a first person narrative with a heroine who is a self absorbed twit. I was hoping it would get better and it just didn't. I started off not very impressed and ended up ready for a relisten! Oh, and I was pleased with the narrator as well! If you're a fan of the genre and you like suspense, hold on through the first half and the initial adventures of Little Miss User of Men - the real story comes midway. (Which I hope we'll see!) It's the second half of the book that made me love it - I was all keyed up and couldn't stop listening. It also made a better backdrop for the action-packed second half of the book, and leaves plenty of room for Faythe to grow in later books. Given her environment it was unlikely that Faythe could have been a considerate sweetheart, so writing her that way would have been a cop-out on the author's part. But looking back now it totally fits, so instead of being annoyed I'm actually pleased that the author decided to be real with her character. ![]() Second, Faythe is a spoiled, thoughtless brat for the first half of the book. Luckily Vincent does have a very firm grip on her world and knows what to do with it, so by the end I was just taking things as they came. First, it very much mimics Kelley Armstrong's first two Otherworld books plotwise, at least initially. Loved this! And that surprised me for a couple reasons. ![]()
