I saw you rated the Redemption of Callie and Kayden as 1.5 stars -- why?  I was debating downloading it the other day and put it off for another day.  Is it really that much worse than the Coincidence, or did you not love that one either?

    Sorry just saw this!! @RiverPlate

    Yes, it really was that much worse!  Basically, all of the things I enjoyed about The Coincidence were gone in Redemption.  I thought Sorensen did such a good job of dealing with all of the issues she introduced and did a good job of moving the plot along in Coincidence, but there was none of that in Redemption.  I even found that I started disliking characters that I had really liked previously.  It was just so angsty and I felt like it didn't really move along until the last 15-20% of the book.  I also thought she tried to deal with too many issues.  It was like every character had an insane amount of baggage and I just wasn't happy with how she resolved some things.

    I think @moroccojade felt similarly.  Maybe she can explain better than I have what was so disappointing about this book.

  • Ugh.  Thanks for the honest review.  I'll probably still read it, but with much lower expectations.

  • Let me know what you think when you're done.  I hope you like it better than I did!
