Hey everyone, sorry for the delay! My schedule has been so full I haven't gotten a chance to finish writing this. I'm trying to write as much as possible now to give me a buffer of space for when life takes a turn for the busy, as it does every now and then. Here's what you have been waiting for though, my final review impressions for Sisters Red.
Book: Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce : June 2010
For the entire review experience: Read the first two posts for Sisters Red, Sisters Red: Initial Impressions AND Sisters Red: The first 100 pages.
Final Review: As you, my readers, have been reading my reviews you have seen how intrested in the book I was, as well as how much I was enjoying it as I started reading it. Well, I can certainly say that I very much enjoyed it.
Sisters Red, was a fascinating tale of two young women struggling with their inner selves, and slaughtering some werewolves (called Fenris in this book). Scarlett March, the older sister, struggles with the past, her scars, and the fact that her hunting is her drive for living. Rosie March however, hunts because of her bond with her sister and it is expected of her, she sometimes dreams of a life not hunting but she feels guilty, she also deals with falling for Silas, Scarlett's best and only friend. As I've stated before the characters behave as real people would, none of them are perfect, and all of them are likeable.
I found while reading the book, that although my initial shock over the setting (see my 100 pages review), the setting worked out perfectly. Jackson Pearce has her character Scarlett reflect on the 'real world' and the one that we live in. The real world being the one where Fenris are real, and the one we live in being just the fact that we don't believe and have no idea what is actually going on the world around us, I loved this detail.
I can't even begin to sing enough praises for this book, other than go read it now. My only major fault from the book is that it wasn't longer, I could have continued reading about these characters for ages, but the book ended when the story did, and it ended fantastically.
Overall: I'd give Sisters Red a 9/10
Now excuse me, I'm off to add her other two books to my Read and Review list!
