This book takes place about 3 years after the last book and follows Aya's perspective who is Japan. She is the younger sister of an up-and-coming famous person and the culture of this group is based on popularity, kicking stories (blogging), parties, etc. I was dispointed with the lack of character development in this installment (main and supporting). Felt cheesy.This book takes place about 3 years after the last book and follows Aya's perspective who is Japan.

Argh, where to begin?! I love Bryce Courtney, but this book was off. Not sure if he just tried too hard. The characters were not relateable and surely repetitive in the writing, which I found was making the reading stale. Admittedly, I like how he was trying to take a bit of history and bring life to it. Even though there is little evidence that it occured during the Dark Ages. Sylvia grows up with a drunk father who rapes her, becomes introverted and hangs out with birds and children of her village. Whereby the busy-bodies notice something holy of her (singing and her sign of the fish). Whereby she starts her adventure abroad and meets characters along the way. All is not what it seems, though will she be able to make her way to final destination and earn God's favour? Guess you will have to read and find out, otherwise just skip it.Argh, where to begin?!

Clary, Jace, Simon and company are all in for a rude awakening. But it sure is entertaining to read. I feel the tension between the characters and see why YA would enjoy this series. Yes, I can see why this trilogy was moved into a series. So far the best book yet as the characters grow, as well as the author gets better in her writing.

When this was published back in the sixties, I can see that this would have been controversial and thriller like with how the story was written. I enjoyed how the POVs kept changing so you got different ideas/thoughts from the many characters regarding the situation, as well as, the killers.
