Remember my review of Enflame when I said Phoenix was my favorite character after Drake? Well I had probably forgotten about Cashton when I wrote that! I love his big bro, no b.s energy soo much!

Also I my last review, I talked about how Enflame was a turning point for the characters, the REAL moment they understood their fate. Well Redefined is exactly that, for the See series. The theme of the WOHAS series is all over this book and Cashton is the perfect character to explain this to his sister Remember my review of Enflame when I said Phoenix was my favorite character after Drake?

Also I my last review, I talked about how Enflame was a turning point for the characters, the REAL moment they understood their fate. Well Redefined is exactly that, for the See series. The theme of the WOHAS series is all over this book and Cashton is the perfect character to explain this to his sister but also to the reader. I thought their dialogues allowed me, as a (re)reader, to understand easily The Selected, their family and their fates.

Okay now there are two scenes that my almost-25-yo brain did not like and they're both about the relationship between men and women. First, Charlie says some really slut-shaming remarks to Anna in one particular scene. It was hard to read, it got to a point where I had difficulty reading this passage. Second, how can Landen and Draven just force Charlie to use energy, to feel those bad emotions without explaining them to her in the first place? I know she says that was probably the best was to teach her, considering her temperament but come on, three stupid boys (Cashton included) laughing at her while she panicks because she doesn't understand what she's doing or feeling, that just awful!

Those two scenes bothered me, for sure, but they did not stop me from loving this story. Charlie and Draven are finally putting behind them some old misconceptions, they're more powerful than ever (thanks to the children and Cashton). They are both becoming who they are supposed to be. It's beautiful to see them bloom and become more and more confident with themselves and others, too. Maybe next time everyone will lister to CHARLIE so THE BOYS don't make huge mistakes (because once again, she was right and they should have follower HER gut).

Anyways, everything happens for a reason in this series so their mistake was necessary to reach the next part of their story... Which is, at least, 8 books later in the series. I hope I'll remember Redefined enough to understand what happens in Revolt because I don't remember what'll happen at alll...!

Anyway, I'm onto the next book, which will be about our favorite Phoenix and his scarf girl... ...more
