Wanderlust Review

Ok, so I finally wrote the review that was part of the contest. Hopefully, it does the book justice. If this concerns you, the bullet points are kind of spoilers, so don't read them! SPOILER ALERT! There, you are all forewarned. Blue parts are safe - skip to the end to read the not-really-an-update update, if you so choose.

Without further ado, here is the long awaited review of Ann Aguirre’s awesome second book of the Sirantha Jax series Wanderlust!

An excellent follow up to an awesome first book, Wanderlust keeps the tension flowing and the reader rooting for the heroine! The ending leaves you wishing for the next in the series, and the shocks and twists in the book leave the world surprisingly realistic. An addition of new characters rounds out the cast, and I can only hope that they are there to stay! I am already eagerly awaiting the next book, and can only hope that some of the issues broached here are resolved. You rock, Jax! Great job Ann Aguirre! Keep up the good work!

Points I liked:

· I liked Jax being sick. She now has a fallible air that lends reality to the book and the character. It makes sense that healing her mind was taxing her body in some way or another. I hope she gets better, and can continue to jump. Like her, I can only see her dying jacked in, or at least by March’s side in battle. Interesting twist about not being jacked in, by the way. Can’t wait to see where that one goes.
· I like the new characters added to the cast. I especially like Vel, because Vel is loveable and honorable and stands by Jax throughout it all. I also like Jael. I saw him as most likely betraying everyone in the end, and he still might, but I like him. I also love Constance. You rock Constance! Excellent body choice!
· I like the whole twist with Jax’s mother. Didn’t see that one coming at all!
· Still like the implanted paranoia in Jax’s head. Like it even better when it’s right.

Points needing to be mentioned:

· I like March when he isn’t battling his own demons, so I’m rooting for him to get better with Jax’s help.
· I feel bad for Dina, but hopefully now she has a new companion for life. That would just be cool.
· Lachion needs to butcher those damn monsters; and Keri needs to get it on with Lex already. And those damn bugs that seem so similar to the Aliens show - ick! Ick! Ick! Ick! Kill them all!
· Jax, an ambassador! O.o Didn’t see that one coming. I hope she succeeds. She needs something positive behind her so she can stop thinking about how she used to be an ass.

Thank you Mrs. Aguirre for the chance to read your book early! I had a blast reading it, and the book already has a place of prominence on my shelf! I can’t wait to hear more about the next in the series! I will faithfully follow you and Jax till the end! And, to help boost your ratings, I’m still going to go out and buy the official book! Cheers!

Ok, so, now that that is out of the way. I haven't written anything more on Ultimatum. Shame on me, I know. I've been busy watching Supernatural and scrapbooking. And reading. Always reading. I also finally finished my first crocheted blanket, which is going to be given away to the first donation center that comes a-knocking. Now, I will be busy at work for at least a year on my sister's blanket. Good luck on getting that one in time for Christmas... or ever her birthday in June... So, hopefully I'll get some writting done tonight or tomorrow. I feel the bug starting to creep back in. Pray for the bug!

Tchao!
