they all had moments that made me go "oh you badass" and moments that made me go "SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET OUT OF MY BOOK"
I have to agree with the Cassie hate. Well, maybe not hate. But out of all of her "DON'T KILL THE BABY ANIMALS
" whining she had maybe one or two valid points. The rest of it honestly felt just like a superficial way to hold back the plot with her random "WAIT WAIT WAIT WE CAN'T KILL AN ANT THAT CAN MORPH, IT HAS HUMAN DNA!" even though she killed it anyway out of disgust UGH I JUST HATED HER
but ax had the most "oh you badass" moments. rachel had a lot too. One that surprised me in my *recent reread* of MM1 was just when she took a drink from a garden hose and said something like, "well, there's one thing taken care of." I mean, if I were amnesiac, lost in the woods, trapped in a burning building, with no idea who I was or where I lived, and somehow managed to find my way back to civilization, I certainly wouldn't have maintained a glass-half-full outlook like she did. Out of the first seven books, I think that was her most badass moment.
I don't get why everyone loves Tobias. He whined. I like angst as much as anyone, but DAMN could Tobias never figure out when to shut up.
Jake was kind of blah. I like Marco more and more with my rereads, but Cassie...ugh. No thank you.
