Mercy be going through it. I thought one of the bad guys was being saved for another book. Glad that's didn't happen. Really like the dual plot lines going on here and the discussion regarding relationship roles and perfection. There was some left overs from the previous book, which I think wrapped up too nicely for me. So seeing the "consequences" (for lack of a better word) in this one made me happy. Though they weren't happy consequences.

Putting this here for myself: I recently read that one star review by Angela on Burn Bright and the many comments and it's brought to my attention something I don't know how to process for this universe. Changing how I see a character which is upsetting but I'm not upset about the character, if that makes sense. I just don't believe the change.

Anyway, one thing some were upset about is how it makes Mercy that woman everyman wants. I don't feel that way. Or didn't. But now I feel like I have to question and eye all of them. In this book Adam mentions his jealousy and I feel like that's all on him. I think the plotline with Underhill backs me up in a way. Mercy is interesting. She's powerful in an odd way and she thinks and acts a little bit outside the norm than what most do in this universe. And that's attractive. I think many want to own her or be around her. But it's a different type of attractiveness than infatuation or regular every day want.

Beyond that, I as always, really like how PB weaves (ha) the myths, legends, folk tales into the storyline. I kind of guessed who it would be but it was not straightforward and I like that. My favorite Ben is in this a lot so yay but not. Also I want to move to this fictional world to be friends with Kyle.
