I’m just glad the rest of the characters knew that. I didn’t connect to any of them, and Harper herself was a total bitch. All the other characters are more suited for one of those contemporary novels where everything is melodramatic. The ending was as ridiculous as the characters’ actions in the book. Where are my strong characters with abilities to match? Nowhere here, lol.
Little to no action happened within the book, and the events that DID happen made me roll my eyes.
The first book was all about discovery, this one was just a bunch of teenagers fooling around with each other. While this ridiculous soap opera was going on, Harper has to also pass a series of tests to make her an offical “Paladin.” The supernatural aspect of this book is laughable. Yeah girl, we don’t need your false promises anymore. I should have told you what Ryan and I were doing.
“‘I’m sorry,’ I told him, rubbing my eyes. Harper has to know what is happening at all time while omitting things constantly to her “team.” I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t sound like teamwork to me. None of it will work if we’re not honest with each other.'” “Maybe it wasn’t nice to let Ryan deal with getting rid of Mary Beth on his own, but that wasn’t my problem.” ‘I think that’s one of those things I get to decide for myself, Pres,’ he said.” “‘David doesn’t want to learn anything from you people, I said, crossing my ankles.īut David jerked his head to look at me, something like irritation in his pace. Okay, in this book though?īeing a kickass heroine who knows what she’s doing DOES NOT EQUATE to being a bossy bitch. I remember liking her in the first book, because even though she was one of those southern belles, she was also feisty and smart. Do people see young adults as hormone-induced people who need to be dating 25/8? Harper puts so much emphasis on the label “ex-boyfriend” or “he dumped me” that it messes up the character interactions and everything in general. Seriously, it has more girlfriend/boyfriend drama than my whole IB class consisting of ~90 people. We have ex-boyfriends and ex-best friends and new relationships thrown all over the place. This book had way more dorama than needed. The catch: Harper has to come along for the ride, but she can’t stay David’s Paladin unless she undergoes an ancient trial that will either kill her. The Ephors have decided they’d rather train David than kill him. Unfortunately, supernatural chores are never done. Now Harper can focus on the important things in life: school, canoodling with David (her nemesis-turned-ward-slash-boyfie), and even competing in the Miss Pine Grove pageant. The Ephors have been silent after their deadly attack at Cotillion months ago, and her best friend, Bee, has returned after a mysterious disappearance.
Life is almost back to normal for Harper Price.
