When I finished These Violent Delights (Chloe Gong), I thought I was mad. Clearly, I didn't know mad. I found that out when I finished this book.
Thoughts on the Characters:
Tyler Jones (Captain Hotness, Goldenboy, Ty, Baby Brother, Bee-Bro): I refuse to believe he is dead. I refuse to believe any of them are dead. I mean, there wouldn't be a third book without them, right? Right?! AND Tyler and Saedii better not get together. Even if she helped him in the end, everything else she did is inexcusable. I kind of figured he had a little bit of something elses' blood in him, I just didn't know what. When he and Saedii started talking in their heads though, I figured it out.
Aurora O'Malley (Auri, Sleeping Beauty, The Girl Out Of Time, Be'shmai, Stowaway, Auri J): I think that she thought she was doing the right thing in the end, but she clearly wasn't. She probably would have won if she hadn't "burned" everything away. Like Kal said, she needs something to fight for.
Finian de Seel (Fin, Skinnyboy): My babyyyy!!!! He finally got his kiss from Scarlett!!! Yay! Even if it was only because they thought they were going to die (which they are NOT dead). He is probably my favorite character out of all of them. He still needs to figure out what his pen is for!
Scarlett Jones (Scar): I love her too!!! I love her sense of humor, and how she is so strong!!! Probably my second or third favorite character.
Zila Madran (Ceiling Girl, Zee): She has definitely progressed. We finally learned her background and why she doesn't connect with anyone. Until Squad 312!!! I am so proud of her!!! She also needs to find out what her gift (hawk earrings) are for!
Kaliis Gilwraeth (Kal, Pixie, Pixieboy, Mr. Middle-Earth, Lord Elrond, Legolas, I'na sa'nuit): I understand why Kal didn't tell the crew about his dad, but that doesn't excuse it. I would have told them when they got closer and freaking discovered that they have to save the galaxy!!!! Just saying.
Favorite Quotes:
"I am not feeling nothing."
“Love is a drop in the ocean of what I feel for her. Love is a single sun in a heaven full of stars.”
“We have failed, but I hope they will see how hard we tried.”
“Slowly, I take my hands off of the controls. I let my mind rest. My thoughts quiet.
There are no further calculations required of me.
It is strangely peaceful.
I lean into my mic to speak to my squadmates.
"Finian, Scarlett. It has been a privilege to serve in squad 312 alongside you."
I am not feeling nothing.”
“But don't fall in love with me, Zila. I'll just break your heart."
"That does seem consistent with your romantic modus operandi." She pauses a moment before adding, "You are also too tall for me."
I blink at that. "Wait… you like girls?"
Zila shrugs, scanning the crowd. "Not tall ones.”
“But in battle, everyone bleeds the same.”
“I fumble inside my uniform, Finian watching as I fish around my cleavage.
"Um…," he says.
"Dammit, you could lose the Great Ultrasaur of Abraaxis IV in here," I growl.”
