I guess watching Saera struggle in a new relationship, or in adapting to a radically different environment would take away from her perfection. Sure, the author gives Saera a tragic back-story where she made some choices she's now ashamed by - but it's brought up once and then stops being important. These perfect characters have a perfect relationship.Īnd make no mistake, they are both perfect in every single way. They see each other once, and are then obsessed with each other for the rest of the book. They have a "resonance connection," whatever that is. Which is surprising considering how underdeveloped their relationship ends up being. I would say the relationship between Wil and Saera (a brand new character) comprises about 75% of this novel. The romance in this book takes up way too much page-time.
