Got mine in Cincinnati, Ohio today. The packaging for it looks awesome. Will start listening to it tonight!
Yes, been looking forward to this for a long time. I may have missed it but has a price ever been mentioned?
Actually with more time to have thought about it the issue is likely that the year 2 characters were, generally, so underwritten that any effort to write them as more fully realized people came off as their being “out of character”. Maybe this wasn’t a mistake or a bad thing as. in future novels, this will be more my idea of the character
Just finished BFA and have mixed feelings. I liked the book overall but felt the author tried to cram to much into the story while somehow leaving out necessary characterization at times. There is certainly a great deal to like about the book and it definitely feels “professional” and not fan-fic. like many star trek novels do (and believe me I am a huge trekkie but I gave up on the books a long time ago).

I think Helena really was MIA in the book. Why didn’t Maya ask her to be present at the ceremony around mentor? she seemed left out of a lot of major scenes I would have expected her to be in. The characterizations seemed a bit off at times also .. Maya seldom “felt” like Maya. Liked the overall story, just thought it would have been better if a bit more straight forward and more time had been spent on characterization. Still, I realize it was a probably a difficult book to write as the author had to write year 2 characters in a year one style. Like that they are back to Main Mission. Anyway, I just finished the book and these were initial impressions … will post more later after I have a chance to digest.I think the dislike of Yasko can be traced back to her reading of the line, “Feels like thunder…. in here”
Thanks for the reply (and the great books) …. any chance of getting the year 2 book with the flipped pages at a small discount? B)
Have to say, I am going for Paul. I think he had the most under developed character in all of year 1. He was just kind of a “black sun” to me … no personality could escape him 🙂 No fault with the actor, would have been interesting how they would have tried to “humanize” him in year two.
