I think it would have been out of chacter for her to be all 'oh my gosh how terrible'. <br /><br />However, I also see how the rather blunt, what appears to be non-caring attitude of the character makes it appear to some readers that the author was insensitive. <br /><br />Personally, based off of the reviews that I read afterwards - you would have thought the rape section had a huge part in the book. When in fact, it was glossed over and was a small section of a much larger portion of the book. <br /><br />For me personally, the book was 'okay', as I stated. It wasn't wow-ing to me, and it wasn't something I thought was pure junk. I plan on reading the other two books, just not right away (not sure how much of the 'dark' books I could take in a row).

She shouldn't have understood that. She lived in a world where she fought if she didn't want something to happen to her.<br /><br />I think in that world it was like in our world not understanding if someone doesn't like chocolate. It's not normal, we don't know people who act like that. And throughout the trilogy her character changes, matures.<br /><br />Maybe the first book is not the best of the trilogy, but the three of them together are really good.Ezisenhttp://eziseneng.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
