I think she is a fun character, good but has a determination to her that makes her less of a goody two shoes. I felt she was strong committed character, which I liked because its hard sometimes to find a strong female character.*Kinda Spoilerish* at the end of the book I got a little irritated at her, I felt she came to her decision(you know, the one at the climax?) too easily. It was a big decision, and I never really felt her question doing the right thing. If it were more real I feel like she might go back and forth on it or at least hesitate some more, her decision just came too easily.
I agree with you Camille. Loved her strong character. She wasn't this wishy-washy heroine who is just blinded by her love interest. She was very conflicted about her loyalty to her family and her loyalty to her own feelings. However, I disagree with you about her decision at the end. I didn't feel she came to it too easily. She did weigh in her mind what needed to be done. She had very little time to consider the possibilities and I think her choice came easier because of how she was brought up.
I enjoyed her! She was refreshing as a characer! I liked the complexity of her relationships within her family and that in the end she was true to herself when it wasn't popular
It's been a few weeks since I read the book, but I don't remember ever being mad/confused by any of the decisions she made and I enjoyed that. There's nothing worse than when a character makes a decision that is out of character or just lacks common sense.
I felt like Grace was a baby. She wouldn't talk things out with Daniel instead she kept hiding from him. Telling him to leave her alone. I felt this just made the book drag on. Talk about it and get it over with. I disliked how the author wrote out the questions she wanted the readers to think about through Grace's thoughts. At the end of every chapter it seemed it ended in a whole bunch of questions. These questions seemed to me that they were written to keep the reader on track with the book, which the readers didn't need!
I felt she was kind of boring. I was quite disappointed when she kept running from Daniel like a baby, I couldn't help compare her to many of the lead female characters in other YA Paranormal books who seemed so much more braver than her. She redeemed herself in the end of course.
