My last good point is that The Glass Arrow will really appeal to any female reader. Third, its not really the point of the book. I'm already swooning as long as they're both together. Second, Kiran and Aya's friendship is enough. She's too young for any sexiness and hotness. The book is more into the action than into romance which isn't a bad thing in here because first, Aya is young. Aya had a lot of inner monologue that's why the reader will thoroughly witnessed how Aya develops into a much stronger character. The world building is perfection and the plot was well thought and it was executed very well. You will feel the emotions of every character rolls off in every page that's why you'll really be invested to this story. how do I express my love for Kiran? He's adorable and gorgeous. She made a very terrifying world and yet, you can't help but be enthralled.Įvery character in here is well developed. So this is what I'll tell you: Simmons' writing is strong.
