First of all, I’m a huge fan of The Brides of the Kindred series. I’ve read them all up to this one. (The next one, Devoured, is already downloaded and ready to be read.) Divided was a super-size novel and although I didn’t know it when I first started reading it, I suspected it was when it just kept going on and on and on. I felt that quite a few scenes could have been deleted or at least shortened without sacrificing the storyline, and there were so many internal thoughts that were repeated right away as dialogue. This got a little annoying after a while because it felt like I was reading the same words twice.I loved the story but I didn’t quite connect with the characters so much this time around. When characters were fighting for their lives, I didn’t feel the distress like I have done with other books in the series and I have to admit, Becca really irritated me with her constant ‘I shouldn’t do that’ attitude. I’m also finding that the stories are becoming predictable, I guess the ideas are either drying up or we as readers are becoming immune to the ‘wow’ factor. In saying that though, Evangeline Anderson’s imagination is amazing! I love it! I really wish some director or producer would pick up this series and turn it into a series of movies. They’d be incredible to watch and would be rated highly - right up there with Star Wars and Star Trek and so on, although they’d need to be for 18 year olds and over only, but that’s okay because I’m sure there’s a few of us who would go and see the movies more than once. Ha-ha! Once again, well done Evangeline. Keep them coming.
