I just didn’t like the delivery or any of the characters. Really, the whole take on Grims was new and refreshing. Jellyfish being able to detect fish was interesting. Tee hee! I did find the sarcastic humor amusing in most parts. Some of the word usage – like referring to the family jewels as ‘yarbles,’ Lex’s nickname ‘Tyrannosaurus Lex,’ Grimsphere, and Necropolis, and the menu items: Mad Cow Burger, E.
There were still a few things I did like. She has no idea about the world of Grims (Gamma Removal and Immigration Managers), then it’s all ‘Oh, BTW you’re a Grim! Congratulations!!’ This one threw it all at you at once and it happened so fast I just ended up feeling detached. When it comes to paranormal books, I like it with the protag slowly comes into his/her abilities and realizing what they are. I skimmed through some parts out of extreme boredom. Honestly, I don’t think I was paying enough attention in the parts where it explained. I got most of them eventually, but I still have no idea what Etceteras were. Cull, Smacks, Crasher, Etceteras, Gammas.
There were also a lot of terms (most of which weren’t explained very well). And before you start to be proud of me for remember that many, don’t – I had to highlight them just to remember them all, ha. Elysia, Ferbus, Kilda, Pandora, Corpp, Kloo, Sofi, Ayjay, Zara…there were just too many.
The names were all a blur of just that: names. They were uninspiring and lacked individual personalities. I could hardly tell the difference from one character to the next because they seemed all alike to me. Which is why I liked it at first when she went to Croak, because her bullying had no effect on Uncle Mort (who actually succeeded in being bad-ass without trying), and she didn’t get her way anymore.Īs for the other characters, there were way too many of them. I guess her badass attitude was supposed to be charming and endearing? It certainly wasn’t to me. While I did like her sarcasm, sometimes even that felt forced. Aside from being a bully, she was childish and selfish. I didn’t find her ‘cool’ at all, I just felt like she tried to hard. She was unnecessarily violent to the point of being a bully. It seemed like Gina was going for kick-ass heroine, but it didn’t work for Lex. I couldn’t connect with Lex at all, and I didn’t particularly like her.
