Colvin was a bit of a jerk, but this masked underlying determination and fear.
She wasn't given insipid lines or trite character flaws. Lia, in this book, is certainly normal, balanced and imperfect.Īnd that's why I liked her. I'm reminded of Joss Whedon's excellent strong females in that they seem to come by it naturally, rather than the author's creating some sort of Xena-type character that is beautiful, strong, self-reliant and essentially perfect. The strong female character doesn't feel forced. The best part about this book is that it's well-written and imaginative without drawing immodest attention to being both. The reviews were good, and the price tag better, so I purchased, and it whispered over to my Droid. Now, the nebulous "they" always tell us to never judge a book by its cover, but in my particular state of mind, the term "wretched" jumped out at me.
After clicking around a bit, I chanced across this book. I stumbled onto Amazon with a overfilled glass of Malbec looking for something, anything, to stave off the boredom of Sunday evening.
