You&...I really enjoyed reading this review, Carla! You're made some excellent points! <br /><br />I read the whole series some time back, so I'll tell you that, although I agree with you about the sexism, I think the author was really trying to criticize it. As you have pointed out, Shay didn't go along with it. So I think Cremer actually had both Shay and Ren in the story so that she could contrast the two boys' very different attitudes toward male chauvinism. <br /><br />I really like Calla. She's a very strong character, and I love to read books with strong female characters! Maybe she overdid the "I'm not the girly type" thing, though.<br /><br />As for Ren, I have very mixed feelings about him. He could be very charming and sweet, but he was a player. And he was willing to go along with tradition, most of the time. He was controlled by his father and the Keepers. Not good husband material! Shay, on the other hand, was very much his own man. Oh, I swooned over him!!<br /><br />I really enjoyed this series, so I recommend you do continue with the rest of the books. Hope you enjoy them!<br /><br />Thanks for the nice review!! : )Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344393626956523263.post-69842517858652037182015-10-01T07:11:59.955+02:002015-10-01T07:11:59.955+02:00I seriously hated that part of the story :( I migh...I seriously hated that part of the story :( I might try reading the sequel, but if that keeps being a problem, I'll just have to put the book down.Carla Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06268478482673884958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344393626956523263.post-62319301768246116172015-09-30T05:38:22.249+02:002015-09-30T05:38:22.249+02:00I think this is a fair review and I do love that c...I think this is a fair review and I do love that cover <3 But I doubt I am going to end up reading this book.
