He is still one of my favourite characters throughout the series because he was developed and level headed. As predicted, Aiden does become a love interest, granted he has more feelings for her than she has for him.
Because that is someone you should really trust. With his return, Kyla seemed to think she could trust a newly slated Ben who was being trained to be a Lorder. Nothing mind blowing, but enough that didn’t make me hate him. I am happy that he is a much more complex character in this book. If you had trouble following that, don’t worry, most of us did too.īen returns in this book fully, not just glimpses of him like we got in the second book. When she is purposely slated she is rehoused with her new ‘mom’, who just so happens to be the daughter of the people Astrid was using Kyla to blackmail her own daughter into silence with. Kyla is then kidnapped by Nico and raised to be a weapon against slating. There she became pregnant and Astrid takes baby Kyla and gives her to her daughter, a way to control and blackmail her daughter into silence for killing Kyla’s ‘mom’ parents from the first two books. Her ‘grandmother’ Astrid, locked up the Prime Ministers daughter, even though she was supposed to be executed. So apparently, Kyla’s mother isn’t really her mother. There are too many coincidences that make things fit together perfectly at the end, things that just make you shake your head. At first, it does make sense, but then as you start to mull it over you begin to wonder and question. People are not who they say they are, secrets from the past really don’t make sense and it felt like that Terry smashed it all together in the end, crossing her fingers and hoping that it all made sense. It is a gripping plot line, but as we progress the plot begins to fall apart. When her identity is discovered Kyla makes a run for it and heads back to Aiden and the underground group with evidence that can take down the Lorders.
At her mother’s house she discovers that everything isn’t as it seems and that her grandmother is a big named person in the Government. After altering her appearance she sets off hoping to make it to her mothers. Like with all things in this series, nothing is that simple and there is no such thing as a ‘happy family’. With the help of Aiden she finds her birth mother and sets off to play happy family. Kyla is on the run from the Lorders and the Rebels she betrayed at the end of book two. I was expecting something much more ’BAM’, in your face and all I got was, ‘let’s see how much I can confuse you!’ The book was still good, don’t let this put you off, just to me it lost the plot somewhere and pulled off an Allegiant (in making no sense, not the ending) The final instalment to the Slated Trilogy and I feel…almost betrayed.Īs a lover of the first two books, Shattered just flopped a bit.
