The narrator wants to convey there is a strong connection between Amy and Peter but it is not successful in portraying it as anything more than a platonic, distant attraction. In numerous scenes, it is clear that Alicia and Peter's history is much more strong and meaningful. They do seem to have a real relationship that for some reason has to be denied at every turn. Alicia keeps saying goodbye but never quite goes away. It seems repetitive and forced. <br /><br />That said, I still like this story. I truly hope that the author takes note of what worked and what didn't in The Twelve, to make the third installment is as exhilarating as the first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
