Aguirre’s earthy use of language to help us understand Jax’s personality. Jax grows and learns from her mistakes and eventually she comes to a point where she is able to refer to herself as the "new Jax." She likes herself better, and I as a reader liked her better, too.Īs I read this book I was really struck by Ms. During periods of introspection, she analyzes her actions and admits that some of those actions have had negative consequences. In your review you pointed out that Jax is not “loveable … particularly honorable.” But, she is honest. Aguirre is able to give us a strong sense of the other characters, especially March, even though we are not inside their heads. And this ultimately is what makes Grimspace succeed for me. Despite that "limitation" there is a very real sense that all of the characters grow and change as a result of what they go through together. But I have to say that this book works very well coming from Jax’s POV. Generally speaking, I prefer a book written from multiple POVs. I am happy to report that I enjoyed the book as much as you did.Īs you know, this book is written in the first person, from heroine Sirantha Jax’s POV.
After reading your review last month I was eager to read this and even more delighted to win one of the 20 ARCs you gave away. Thank you for inviting me to write this review of Ann Aguirre’s Grimspace.
