Survival

And finally, THE TATE BOOK! I knew I liked this one. I knew it was one of my favourites. But I think my memory had actually made it twice as long and fleshed out all the details that are missing. Still, I cried at the end. There's something so simple and beautiful about it all. Tate always was the most generous. There could have been a lot more characterization (hello, Yago and Amelia suddenly are...nice?) but this book actually moves the plot forward and makes sense for the first time in a few.

But how did Yago round up all the Riders and Blue Meanies?

This was a pretty cool installation of the series. Tate's never been my favorite character, but it was still interesting. I was very surprised that I ended up liking Yago so much, and I'm not entirely sure the ending makes sense even though I kind of saw it coming. I think the last book in the series will really be what makes or breaks THIS one, as well as the series as a whole.
