Rendition Supposing Books The Glass Swallow (Dragonfly & The Glass Swallow #2)

UPDATE: all done. Well, four stars. I was hoping for ... more. From this book. Dragonfly was a story of cruelty, survival, and clinging to faith when it's all you have. TGS just seems to be about a pretty girl who's good at getting her way. Peri came across as clingy and sexist. Whenever Rain was determined to do something, he just had to step in and save his "little girl" (note: if Rain was Tris, someone would have been punched by now) and screw everything up. In contrast to Dragonfly once again, Ramil came off as likeable and sweet. Peri... not so much. Also, there really was no climax to be heard of. The jettans came and surrendered like the bunch of cowards they are. I was hoping for some battles, maybe murder. Yeah no. ------- Mkay, so I'm about halfway through it. Right now it's getting a pretty steady four star rating. Let me tell you one thing: I just finished Eon by Alison Goodman. Trust me, a more kick-butt heroine you'll never find. (except MAYBE Tris from Divergent.) So when I began TGS, I became somewhat disappointed at the heroine. Don't get me wrong: I LOVED Dragonfly. It's was gorgeously written, Taoshira was a perfect balance of sarcastic and sweet, and all that fun stuff. But Rain... I mean, come on. You put a foreign chick, a language she doesn't understand, a bunch of murderers, and a country that's falling to pieces together and you get a lot of whimpering and trying not to exist. Seriously, though. I keep expecting her to be all "DON'T CALL ME LITTLE GIRL OR I'LL BREAK YOUR FACE" like Tris. Yeah no. We'll see if it improves. Maybe I do like the Ramil/Taoshira pairing better. Or you know, maybe they just have cooler names.

Critique About Books The Glass Swallow (Dragonfly & The Glass Swallow #2)

The story is quite ok but the romance is not well written. Don't insist putting it in if it won't end up good. I find their relationship progress is... dull. For everything else, from the caste conflict till the happy ending, it should have 4 stars. I'm cutting one for the disappointing romance.

Enjoyable fantasy. For some reason I went into it thinking it was set in a dystopian version of the USA but this is definitely second world. I suspect I got it mixed up with another book because even the synopsis makes it obvious that this is pure fantasy.I enjoyed the story of a young girl, Rain, who's thrown into a different culture with no one to turn to, having to do everything all on her own. She never ceases to be amazed by the differences between her own culture and the Magharnan culture.

Enjoyed the characters and the exploration of different cultures.



This is a companion novel to Dragonfly. The Glass Swallow seems to be written for a juvenile reader instead of a young adult. The story was dull and i skimmed a lot of pages. I loved th Dragonfly book. It is one of my favorites, but this story felt flat and a waste of my time.

I loved Dragonfly but The Glass Swallow was a disappointment. Rain was not a strong character, particularly in comparison with Tashi. Rain is the only one of her kind: a woman glassmaker and designer. She has the courage to defy tradition in order to practice a craft forbidden for her gender. She is brave enough to travel to a strange country without her father at her side...yet from the moment she sets foot outside her home, she becomes a shrinking violet.Peri is condescending and sexist

Picked this book up for a reading challenge using the word Swallow in the title. Completely loved the story and the strong statements about social and gender issues that resonate in life. I just may have to check out other books by this author.
