Not only were they on equal par with the men in this book, but I love that Saba finally got to lead at the end of this story, not Lugh, as that was a huge turning moment in their relationship. Even Emmi who was a young girl got her share of woman empowerment, so that was remarkable. I hope it continues on in the sequel too! :DKeertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-13005422114925322392012-07-27T15:36:20.742-04:002012-07-27T15:36:20.742-04:00What?

Saba really is such a flawed and complex character and everything about the relationships in this one are extraordinary, so I can't wait to see what you think of this one Brodie! :D <br /><br />I just don't care Brodie! ;) You need to read this one ASAP, especially since the sequel is releasing soon, so I'll be looking out for your review!(:Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-91657168534838668842012-07-27T15:34:21.038-04:002012-07-27T15:34:21.038-04:00Thanks Katja!(: I can't wait to pre-order it t...Thanks Katja!(: I can't wait to pre-order it too!

W...Awesome, I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this! Well, now you don't have to wait so long for the sequel, do you? :) Only two-ish months left to go! (I'm counting down the days, ha). <br /><br />I think your thoughts about how every woman aspires (or should) to be like a Free Hawk is perfect. I also love how the author never presented the females in this book as Women Who Have Balls (they have to "prove" themselves to men that they are capable, for example) but rather, it's a celebration of female power. All the women are strong, intelligent, independent, and I really appreciated that during my read of this. <br /><br />Lovely review, Keertana!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-88878742225465943852012-07-26T17:33:55.621-04:002012-07-26T17:33:55.621-04:00You're doing one better than me... I've ha...You're doing one better than me... I've had a copy since last year and I STILL haven't read this damn book!! I definitely hear the most about the dialect used and I'm really intrigued to see how I'll respond to it. From the way you describe it, it sounds like it will only invest me further into the story. I LOVE how flawed and complicated Saba sounds, definitely not your typical YA heroine. And the relationships seem so well developed.<br /><br />ARGH. You do realise my TBR is already bursting at the seams and cannot afford for another book to topple it by trying to jump ahead of the others? Either you don't know or you just don't care, because when you write amazing reviews like this, I have a hard time resisting urges to go grab my copy now. Cannot wait to read this!Brodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389909407256668662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-49613587432326729132012-07-26T17:27:44.813-04:002012-07-26T17:27:44.813-04:00Great review!

It's always a good thing when the wait for the next book is a short one. ;) This is a great review! I agree with your points about Saba especially. I found her quite tough to like at times too but did really enjoy her character overall. (She's still a little infuriating in the sequel though). I'm eager to see what you make of the next book. Fantastic review as always, Keertana. :)Sam (Realm of Fiction)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04440380021875536125noreply@blogger.com
