I thought that ...So, I just finished up Fury today. I thought that it was a pretty decent story. I like the Furies. I liked the story behind this book. I think that it was well written. I think that my issue with the book was the characters. With the exception of JD and Drea, I really didn't like anyone. Ems got a little better towards the end of the book. I think she has some hopes of being a better person in Envy. I hate that I couldn't form an attachment to the characters. That is a must for me to actually love a book. I am hoping that we get more of Drea and JD in the next book. And hopefully Em and Gabby are better too. We shall see!

There is either love to the extreme or hate to the extreme. The books that get that kind of reaction, that is the book that I always want to read for myself. If a book can bring out such extreme emotions, it must be a very well written book. I loved The Goddess Test as well, and if you liked Fury too, I think I will have to jump on this one.

(His favourite example is dragons.) I was reminded of him now when I pondered the possibility that <i>Fury</i> is the book that will redeem Greek mythology's angry, fearsome furies. <br /><br />Then again, we can say they come "pre-redeemed." In the myth of Orestes, they are turned into the the Erinyes or Graces. If I do read this book, I'll be more interested in the Orestes figure than in the literal rendition of the Furies.Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-8598757415116941852012-04-15T15:06:46.683-04:002012-04-15T15:06:46.683-04:00I am happy that you enjoyed the book.
