I really enjoyed the Half Made World and thought it was very original. Some books were slower than other but overall I really enjoyed the book and the concepts Gilman presents with the Line, the Gun, and the unmade world. I really look forward to reading the sequel. :)
I have to say Creedmoor was my favorite character because I think he was the most complex. Once he and Liv are out in the unmade world, I think his true character is shown and we see that Creedmoor truly wants to be a good person when Marmion is not around. But of course he still struggles because with the Gun his is superhuman and he doesn’t want to give that up. I was really moved by the story with kidnapping the little girl and that that is what drives him away from the Gun. And of course I love him because of his sarcasm and awesome action scenes.
Also, Liv and Creedmoor are made for each other in my opinion. They both struggle with addictions and in the unmade world they are rid of their addictions. I think it will be interesting to see Creedmoor in the next book because he won’t have the supernatural powers he had from being one of the Gun. We will really get to see him as an ordinary man.
I found it very appropriate how Gilman handled Lowery and his death. It doesn’t happen during Lowery’s perspective and afterwards, he is never mentioned again. It just shows how disposable the Linesmen are.
Amanda, thanks for picking an awesome book!
I agree. Creedmoor is the most complex and it was awesome to see his true character shine through when he was away from Marmion's influence!
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit creepy how disposable people become to the Line. Makes me very glad we don't have them here!!
