About book Ruled (2012)

Pour la seconde fois, l'auteure propose une mini nouvelle qui se déroule entre deux tomes afin de nous permettre d'entrevoir un rare aperçut des pensées et des sentiments de Leon Grey. Une fois encore, dans Bannie l'histoire étant du point de vue de Gaia, certaines choses sont gardées sous silence et elle ne comprend pas tous les sous-entendus des actions du jeune homme. Ruled est là en partie pour corriger cela.Leon s'est endurcit, les choix de Gaia ainsi que les siens les ont éloignés l'un de l'autre... et pourtant ses sentiments pour la demoiselle sont toujours aussi forts. Il fait preuve de courage et son côté têtu refait surface, tout cela se montre parfaitement dans la scène de l'accouchement, où il donne un coup de main, un moment qui va le changer et sa façon de voir la vie.L'autre personnage mis en avant est Peter, le rival amoureux de Leon, celui qui a réussit à prendre en partie sa place auprès de la belle. Bien qu'ils se chamaillent, se fassent des sales coups, on se rend compte assez vite que dans d'autres circonstances, ces ceux-là s'entendraient comme larrons en foire. Ils ont des personnalités assez semblables et leurs sentiments communs pour Gaia les rapprochent par moments.En peu de pages Carag M. O'Brien nous refait tomber amoureuse du taciturne et mystérieux jeune homme. Il reste incompris, mais plus de la même façon, on en vient à le plaindre et à vouloir secouer la sage femme. J'ai hâte maintenant de savoir s'il va réussir à faire sa demande en mariage et si Gaia va aimer son bracelet rouge ! A lire bien évidemment pour ceux et celles qui voudraient en savoir plus sur Birthmarked ! Ruled is a short story set between Prized and Promised. It's told from Leon's point of view. And I adore Leon. I'm still upset about the second book in this series; Prized. But I did love the first one, Birthmarked. Disliked Prized because of stupid love triangles, like all books have these days. But still. Super excited for book three, which I'm starting today :) Anyway. Time for my review of Ruled :) Won't be very long, since the short story isn't that long.I'm not sure how to feel about this short story. I love Leon. I adore him. He's so kind and gentle and sweet and loving. But I hate Gaia. I really do. She has no feelings in her heart at all. I don't think she cares for Leon. Not really. And that does break my heart. Because Leon deserves so much love. He's an amazing guy, and I hate that she treats him like this. It isn't fair. Not at all. And I'm not happy about it. Doesn't make me love the books. It just makes me heartbroken. But still. I love Leon.And I love reading from Leon's point of view. Kind of wish the books had been from his point of view. Cause he really is an amazing character. I didn't like the beginning of this short story. Because Peter is there. And I don't like him. Not much. Plus, he's annoying. I actually didn't like this short story very much. It's only heartbreaking and sad. But still giving it four stars. Because I loved Leon so much, and this story is interesting :) You should read it if you have read the other books. Truly.This is my favorite quote from this short story: "The more he thought about it, the more Leon hated being on a string. He wondered why it wasn’t the other way around. Why was he always the one who was begging? He didn’t actually beg. He never would. But it felt like that." I love it because it's true. Gaia was such a fucking asshole in book two. She should be BEGGING him to be with her. And she isn't. Asshole. I am still not forgiving her :\ Leon is too good for her. Sigh. Too much drama.And this quote. "He would never hurt her now, but still she didn’t care enough for him. He didn’t know if she ever would. He couldn’t understand this sick thing inside him that made him love her so intensely even when she kept holding back the last sliver of herself." My god. I am HATING Gaia. Sigh. Do not understand why I'm still reading this series :\ Oh, well. I do love the story :) And the writing. And I love Leon. And oh. If Gaia doesn't make up for it in book three I will not be happy.

Do You like book Ruled (2012)?

Again, another book from Leons' perspective. Short but makes you want to read the last book.

A sweet in-between book, once again from Leon's point of view.

Just a small expert in the middle of book 2 and 3.
