** spoiler alert ** I'm sorry, but this book could have been better. Like did we need the long scenes of Claire climbing? That could have been cut in half and left more room for the climax at the end which went by too fast. Really the Tradesmaster should have been built up more. I find this world confusing. Do you have the Communist Community? The place were everyone is an asshole, the place where everyone is very nice plus the place with people who seem to be Norwegian but everyone speaks the same language.

How do you just get rid of seasons and turn off of nature? Where do the fathers of these children come from? There are a lot of questions that aren't answered so other than characters popping up in earlier books, it really doesn't seem to take place in the same world.

So this could have been better. It started off OK, looking at the Community in the perspective of a young, powerless girl and a Birthmother no less who got to lose her child. But the part at the middle is rather dull. The ending happens too fast and there are things that could have been cut out to make the story better and tighter.

Also, I'm sorry, but there was NO REASON NOT TO TELL GABE THAT YOU'RE HIS MOTHER! AND he had a way of finding out! I hate when writers introduce some way of finding out all the answers and there is not a good reason for them to just do this. Like, Lyra had her Alethiameter. And when she didn't check it, she had a good reason like she couldn't see it, or her friend just didn't want to know behind taking a hot bath what was going to happen next. It made sense. But this kid has this power and doesn't use it. He's not about to lose it. He just fears it. Just once can't a person go, I have a POWER. WOOO WEE I'm going to use it. This would make more sense!

ALSO WHY DID SHE KILL THOSE POOR BABY GULLS?!?!?!? AUGH!



This book could have been so MUCH BETTER! GAAAAAH!

Having read this book again I hate it even more. It needs like 5 rewrites an an editor. Fanfiction is better than this. Ugh.
