Haha, this book didn't really give me a reason to care too deeply about any of the characters...perhaps Vala annoyed me the least because she was so absent. I think it would have been real poor execution by the author if it were the case that Vala act as such a topical character.AliceofX wrote: ↑21 Sep 2018, 09:16I didn't think of it that way. I just saw her as a character whose sole function in the book was to be the Roman's hostage so Marcellus would stay with the Celts. The book didn't give me any reason to care about her, but you do have a point that she could be more established in the future.CommMayo wrote: ↑21 Sep 2018, 08:59 For me it is the total mystery about her. We know so much about Mor and what is happening with her. By the end of the book, Mor essentially gets her happy ending, but what of poor Vala? There seemed to be some foreshadowing with her, and I think her disappearance makes her a more mysterious character. She is the only family member we stop hearing about after the initial chapters and I think this sets her apart a bit.
Will you read the second book?

It just seemed she was thrown away. Why would both of her fathers leave her behind?!!! They were unsure of their own lives, why wouldn't they protect her, too?!! As I said, it just really upset me that she was left behind when the others got away.
