My Thoughts

Even though I’m giving SEEING REDD the same rating as THE LOOKING GLASS WARS, I liked this one better than the first book. The setup that took a third of first book wasn’t there and I liked the relationship between Alyss and everyone else, especially Dodge, better this time around.

It was refreshing to read a book not in first-person narrative, but I don’t think third-person omniscient is necessarily the best way to go with these books. It provided a very broad view of the whole picture and I wanted to get into the nitty gritty. I latch more onto characters than plot, and these stories are very plot-driven. I wish there was a bit more character development and that the story wouldn’t jump from each character as often as it did.

I still enjoyed the overall story and I’m glad I’m reading them. I look forward to reading ARCHENEMY, so I can find out how everything ends.
