Night Broken by Patricia Briggs, spoilers

Post by wolfoxy »

Is any one think on what Christy is going to do? Do you think that she is going to move back or go home?

Latest Review: "Magpie" by M.A. Reyes

Post by RooneysReviews »

Christy is a very complex character. She's obviously had years to perfect her manipulation skills and she knows how to carry herself to appeal as helpless and needy. It was rather surprising to learn that she met Adam at only 18, which allowed her a lot of time to learn how he works and how she can use that to her own advantage.

Mercy, however, is also a complicated character. She's depicted through each book in the series as a strong woman, who doesn't really need the protection of others. Unlike Christy, Mercy's morals are reflected in they way she treats those around her and her willingness to make sacrifices for the good of all. This is a trait that Christy cannot stand, since she never learned to perfect it herself.

Christy may decide to move closer to Adam, but he will likely put his foot down when she requests to live in his home any longer. The rest of the pack may open their own doors to Christy, but maybe not, since they find increased respect for Mercy after finally watching her fight. Even if Christy moves back, it's doubtful Mercy and Adam's relationship would be in jeopardy, since both of them are devoted to holding on to those they love.

On a side note, Patricia Briggs did an amazing job designing Christy's character to be both annoying and somehow innocent. She gets under the reader's fingernails and still charms everyone else in the series.

I think after what happened (because of Christy ) she will move with Honey and Mary-jo , but that doesn't she will stop playing her game , though I think it will be less effective
