I know! Jax and March’s mental link made for some hilarious scenarios. Especially before Jax figured out what was going on. Loved those parts. ;)

“One plus at least was March’s psi (sp?) ability. It lent some interest to his interactions with Jax, especially while navigating grimspace. Made me lauh too when he’d “sneak” up on Jax in her thoughts.”

Oh, I loved it whenever she thought about a way of killing him and he’d be giving her funny looks.

Leslie–at least you were able to read a little bit. My boxing match with the flu a few months ago left me mostly unconscious. I admire anyone that can hold there head up long enough to read while battling the flu.

One plus at least was March’s psi (sp?) ability. It lent some interest to his interactions with Jax, especially while navigating grimspace. Made me lauh too when he’d “sneak” up on Jax in her thoughts. In a way, it kind of made up for not being in 3rd POV. Your point is not uncommon though. I find it so easy to become “involved” with secondary characters as well and when it’s done in 1st, I’ve sometimes wished for a look in their heads too.

I think overall I liked it a lot. :) Despite reading it whilst having the flu, and thus having to go back and re-read quite a bit.

I read a lot of first person POV and I think this is one of the few times I’ve wished a book were written in third. There were just some places in the story where I wanted to know what was happening to the other characters rather than Jax.

But this is definitely a series I’ll be following.

Nath – can’t wait to read your review and opinions on it. Do you think you’ll continue with the series? Thanks for the compliment!

Thea – Thanks to you too. :) I thought Jax made a great lead for this story.

Great review! I didn’t particularly like Grimspace for some of the reasons you touched on, but I have to agree with your observations about Jax and how she matures as a character over the course of the book. Good stuff.
