Sarah (7798 KP) rated Shift: (Wool Trilogy 2) in Books

My only criticism would be that having finished Wool, I was desperate to find out how the characters in that story were faring, and Shift completely removed that by in effect restarting the story. Shift was needed, however it may have been better as the final book in the trilogy!

The beginning took me a little while to gel with but once I did I was really into this. The connection between our two characters was so intense from the start. When they hit the rough patch near the middle and were forced their separate ways I ached for them. So that glimpse a few pages later of their meeting again 8 years later I got so excited. They were getting another chance!!
The fact that we didn't get a concluded story and it's going to be concluded in a second knocked it down a half star... but I'm going to go buy it right away to see how they get their HAE.

I guess the storyline might not be for everyone but i didn't have a problem with it--it is fiction after all. I liked the description of Hawaii, it sounds beautiful, and kinda deadly. I loved the connection between all the co-workers, they really were like one big family.
I loved the second chance romance, though I found it a little strange how suddenly Logan's attitude changed to Ronnie. One minute they're arguing and winding each other up, the next they're kissing and admitting their love for each other. I know it'd been brewing in the background for seven years but... yeah, i didn't quite understand it.

There are very few morals in this book and money is king, don't expect to go into this book liking all the characters as it seems to take a while to truly understand them.
I love the way Leigh Bardurgo has refused to make her characters pure and innocent people who can do no wrong. Every single person in this book is deeply flawed but that's what makes it all so good.
The Grishaverse has a huge following and it is certainly well deserved. You do not need to have read the original trilogy to read this one but I did find myself overly excited every time I recognised a character from the originals.

I think the plot was just bad, so many of the characters just felt useless. Kay and Jay spent the majority of the film running around trying to solve this puzzle that Kay had left himself and somehow made Jay look seriously dumb? But somehow we're still talking about the same agent who hesitated and shot the little girl in the first film because he evaluated the whole situation before taking a shot. But he couldn't figure out the picture frame, was basically talked down to the whole film, and barely beat the guy with the multiple flying versions of himself? It's like he somehow lost 100+ IQ points between the first and second films.
The saddest thing of them all? I'm still going to watch the third one with a small chance that it gets better. My expectations are already extremely low.
