I really appreciated that fact that Ember wanted to learn to fight, and she was very good at it! She didn’t let being a girl stop her from what she was called to do.īarrow is, oh my goodness how do I even start, very swoon worthy. I’m also very interested to see if her view on this subject changes at all in the next book. However, this particular lifestyle was expected of women during Ember’s time and she actually fought against it because it’s not what she wanted. I’m actually a homemaker, and I love my decision to be so. Not that getting married and having children is a bad thing at all. She is courageous, strong, and stands up for herself. She is a great role model for girls everywhere. In a time where women are expected to marry and have children (and that is all they are good for), Ember's attitude does not bode well with her father. You’ve been warned.Įmber is an incredible female lead. I’m sorry, I tried to write it without any, but just couldn’t figure out how. There are a few minor spoilers in my review. You could read Rift on it's own if you wanted (though I don't know why you would want to) without having previously read the sequels, or even planning to read them after. It's an incredible read that could stand alone apart from the Nightshade trilogy, but is also woven into the Nightshade series as well. That being said I tried not to be biased when I started reading Rift. If any of you have previously read my reviews of Andrea Cremer's Nightshade trilogy, you know I'm a HUGE fan.
