Reading Teen

It's been a while since I read Solid, but I definitely picked up right where I left of. I fell in love with the characters and setting of Solid and I loved being able to reconnect with them in Settling. I devoured the first bit of the book. I read it in no time and couldn't get enough. I felt like Clio was so down-to-earth and relate-able that I dove into the book easily and loved living in her life. After a little while into it though, I felt like Clio sort of let me down. And I understand that they were all under a lot of stress and, at some points, they were scared for their lives, but I ended up with negative feelings towards Clio, which left me kind of dissatisfied. I love Jack. I mean, of course I love him because he's practically perfect. But seriously, I couldn't get enough of him. I did miss him a little because he didn't seem to be in Settling as much as he was in Solid, but "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." Right? He may be the only one that I LOVE just as much at the end of Solid, as I did at the beginning... Which brings me to Clio's other friends, Alexis, Miranda, Garrett and Bliss. They were all just as lovable as ever. All of them being so close really adds something great to these books, and their relationship is probably my favorite aspect of Settling. I definitely don't want to give anything away, so it's a little difficult to explain, but I adored Alexis, Miranda, Garrett and Bliss so much that their actions at the end of Settling made me sort of mad at them. I thought they reacted to a situation very dramaticly. They definitely had a reason to react, but I hoped that they would be a bit more understanding. Even so, I, without a doubt, will be reading the next book in this series. And, although I was a little dissapointed with some characters, I really did enjoy Settling, and would definitely reccomend that you read Solid! Kit
