Still not the last book and it annoys me!

I admit that I have great difficulty with the extension cord series. I always have the feeling that the story of the departure, one that we packed in the first volume, with suspense, romance, all that is slowing. With this fourth -and not dernier- volume, that was my feeling.
I found it long, repetitive, nothing new under the sun ... And frankly the backstory seemed implausible. Teens who learn to fight and be sent to the front ... a global organization that pulls the strings of power, and the heart of the debate, those same kids in crisis ... Frankly teenager who can believe something same? I really felt that the story was wobbly.

Furthermore, we find the characters band mates more solidarity than ever. However, I found the characters much less endearing, almost pulling to stereotypes, lacking a bit of intensity.
Sylvain is the French love par excellence, the ideal son, honeyed wish. Zoe, the little pain in the ass, or brat who spends his time feign indifference, enervating. Rachel, the brainy full of good will, insignificant. Nicole confidante good friend, always there when needed. Carter, the grumpy sullen, hiding his frustrations behind his glare. Allie And finally, the little kid who does not know what she wants, who wants to be everywhere and nowhere. She wants to sacrifice for the collective good, but especially not to die, she wants to go out with Sylvain, but eyeing the pain in the ass ... So Carter. She exasperated, I found that her character was sorely lacking depth and maturity.

In the end, you understand, all left me on the side of the road. I did not even find appreciated the atmosphere of Cimmeria.

Surely we have action, romance, with the eternal love triangle, and the returns, as the mole is unmasked. But frankly, no big surprises, many "warmed" in my opinion.

And Yet ...

Yet the damn CJ Daugherty had me on the end. As if you had to make up for everything we recover we wanted to throw us on the Volume 5. It offers us quite dense last two chapters. and I wanted to say, "Finally, the book begins!"
With primo what we expected from the beginning, Allie finally between Sylvain slice or Carter. There for me, I could breathe and say, "well then, my daughter it took you time to make a good decision." Deuzio, bouncing with excitement to the key, in short an open end which has the merit to keep us in suspense!

In the end, I would read the book 5 provided that this is the last, because "too many tomes tomes kills ..."
Finally j'dis that, I says nothing ...
