I'm not too sure what the point was in making him as ultra annoying as he was. Bish - I wanted to chop his head off and feed slowly to my goldfish. Not to mention, more importantly, when I'm reading the L word every page it really loses impact when they do say it, not as meaningful. Having him say "I love you" every 10 seconds and pretty much nothing else makes him come off as.a little whipped and one dimensional. The story should not be found in the mountain of self-doubt you wish your protagonist to experience over the length of a bible, it should be found in actual challenges in her way and the meat is in how she deals with them (i.e. Turning your protagonist into a compulsive apologist makes for bad fiction and contradicts where the protagonist is supposed to end up -ultimately a position of power, no? She's supposed to be maturing not regressing to a 13 year old idiot. Sure, have some initial/occasional self-doubt but after the learning curve, cut it off. What makes for a strong story are strong characters, weak is NEVER sexy. But I always believed in shooting it straight.so here are my peeves: I really hate being such a harsh critic, especially on indie authors, because I admire, respect and appreciate the balls they have getting their stuff out there. Just get over it already, let's get on with your destiny. You could've made a drinking game out of how many times Caleb told Maggie he loved her and she said it back, how many times he just wants to see her happy and keep her safe, how many bleedin' times this girl is SORRY for all the trouble she "caused", ugh!!! Like a mouse could fart in the room and she's busting out with the tears. In addition to this, the characters, whom I really liked in Significance were annoying the everloving shit outta me!! Gahd sakes. This was almost reminiscent of Charlaine Harris' last Sookie book minus the checking of the emails. I was skippin pages like my life depended on it. It was dead in the water or overstuffed with filler scenes that didn't add to the momentum of the plot.
Actually, it was uber everything - the pacing was painful with the relationship and on the action front. But then.I started reading Accordance.Īnd, contrary to the many 5 star reviews, which btw I'm still trying to figure out, this one was uber slow. After the first novel I was into the story, a little more on the YA side for me but still I was intrigued by the world of Aces and was loving Caleb.
