Chatterbox: Blab About Books

Unwanteds!

I've become obsessed with Unwanteds, y'all. XD And to prove it, I got the first Quests book last night and finished it an hour ago. So, discussion time!

It is, of course, extremely cliche at times. And often predictable. But still. I'm in love. 

Island of Dragons seemed to drag n for the longest time- the battle, I mean. Like, we get it- you're fighting to the death and Artime is suffering losses and people loose hope but the good guys win, the end. I wasn't actually expecting the twist with Alex's arm becoming useless, though. 

Would I be right in predicting that Quests: Dragon Bones is going to be painfully similar to Island of Fire? Alex in despair, someone captured far away, a million other things to sort out before something can finally be done about the captured person...

Ack, I hate and love all the intershipping. I was so mad about Alex falling for Sky, he and Lani were working out pretty well for me. Alex better not get a new ship now that Sky's dead, though. And if he does- *inhales through nose sharply*

Somewhere in the Quests Alex better stop being so grumpy. I get why, of couse, but really... I want to kind of stick with his story rather than Thisbe and Fifer's.  Not that I dislike them, but I just, I dunno, like Alex better, or imagine him more vividly, or something.

Is it wrong that I wanted Aaron to stay bad? Just be a dude who's no longer a villian, just kind of painful to live with... and then BOOM! Rise up four books later and threaten to take over once more! Mwuahahaha!! 

Is it wrong that I was more sad about Clive dying than Liam Healy? Maybe because Liam died so quicky and didn't really stand out in my mind as very important... 

Well, enough of my rambling! Who else loves Unwanteds? And please no spoilers for the rest of the Quests (oh hey that rhymed), please! 

(P.S Boo says iduf. No, you are not, who or whatever Duf is!)
