Will was meh because he was invented for the sole purpose of being the primary love interest, or her "perfect other half". The result is a dull character that is not fully developed, he is really only a half...the half that she dreams up to be everything she wants. It makes for a boring door mat character.
I didn't like Cassian in the beginning but he was more interesting than Will. He was a major contrast. Cassian is the source of conflict, exciting, with a life and agenda of his own. He fights for what he wants with strong beliefs and opinions. He also exists apart from the female MC which gives him a personality outside of," I love you so I exist solely for you" (Will)... so he makes a far more interesting character.

but i was really sad when Tam made her derision :(

Why?

Why?"
Cassian had become a really nice guy by the end of the third book, and Will started acting a bit annoying :/
and i was sad that in the end Tam ended up staying in the place she hated for her hole life, and she would barley get to see her sister anymore after :(
if i had a twin, I'd want to stay with her, and try to convince my lover to stay too. Will seamed to be fitting in, in the end, i think it could have worked.

I think Tam had the right idea, she hated it but she knew she could change it so she made a choice. Jacinda was always pretty selfish. Tam knew what life was like in the clan from the outside (non draki) and then from the inside. For a little while, as a shader she was just as valued and as smothered as Jacinda. The difference was that she was willing to stay, be a part of the council and change it for the better for everyone. Jacinda only ever wanted what she wanted for herself, she never cared what life was like for Azure, her best friend. I wish Tam could have shown her why staying was important but I am glad she was strong enough to do it herself. Remember how Jacinda just assumed Tam would follow her wherever she went? She never considered that Tam wouldn't the leave the clan with her, but she didn't even consider changing her plans to stay with Tam. That made me kind of sad, because I think a twin bond is special too.



Ooo, that's an interesting perspective as well! That's something to think about...

Yea, Tamra was kind of weirded out by him at first as he is kind of huge and forgot how to go human. But her heart was open and big enough to accept him and vice versa. Was really great.

Ok, now that reeeeally makes me want to read this! Gosh, so many great books to read, but I think this one just moved up a few places on the list :)
I had heard of Deghan from other readers, and from the blurbs posted around the web, and he definitely seems like a character I'd like to get to know ;)
