She definitely has a bit of a temper at times. Emma is also hilarious too though and I loved her little inner rants.<br /><br />Emma meets Galen by accident when she trips and falls into him while on vacation. Galen wants to know more about Emma though, especially after seeing her communicate with fish. Galen kind of creeped me out a bit at first but it only took a couple of chapters before I was in love with him. He doesn't know how to act like a human very well. I enjoyed the alternating chapters though because it not only helped move the plot along but, it also provided a deeper understanding into both Galen and Emma. I also loved Rayna and Toraf. Rayna is Galen's sister and she also has a bit of a temper. Toraf is Galen's best friend and I wish he was in the story even more.Canadahttp://process4reality.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014295473803664042.post-55710268686792581712012-05-27T21:06:05.487-04:002012-05-27T21:06:05.487-04:00For some reason I was pretty bored with this one, ...For some reason I was pretty bored with this one, and I didn't really like or understand the characters.

Though I definitely see trouble brewing with the arranged marriage aspect, the whole Toraf/Rayna situation made my hackles rise (even though it was clear he loved her and she begrudgingly adored him). I would not appreciate being married without even being present! Still, loved this story and can't wait for more:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014295473803664042.post-14206236472980424082012-05-21T09:33:20.587-04:002012-05-21T09:33:20.587-04:00Oh yay!
