Does every book in this series end in an assault?

I liked the over all storyline in this one as the bones of this story are well done, I just felt the ending let it down.

I liked Barrett in this one. His calm acceptance of the mess that Sky could be was well done, especially considering that he was never preachy. He let Sky deal the way he needed to and when he was able he suggested another way.

I also enjoyed Sky even though at times he is a really unlikeable character with the way he lashes out at people.

What happens to Matty was the whole crux of Sky’s issues but when he finally tells Dixie and Barrett what happens there is nothing, just a chapter end and then 6 weeks later. Dixie isn’t a main character but she is a pretty big secondary one and I felt like she was really let down here. How did she react? How did Barrett?

I must admit that with the additional parts being added to this one that I had hoped that this part was one of the things that had been fixed, but no, so instead of the irrational anger I usually felt in the past when reading this one, all I felt was disappointment that an opportunity had been lost.

I thought Sky was a bit of a whiny prick, but somehow I still liked him. I liked Barrett a lot more. I thought the source of the angst was a bit ridiculous. And I think Sky got let off the hook way too easily. Bummed that the fallout was just skipped over. I would've at least liked a scene with Dixie's reaction.

Despite really enjoying the main characters, there was something about the plot in this one that held me back from 5 stars. But I really did enjoy the characterisation, and the development of life around Dixie's Cup.

(Sorry for the very short review, but I took forever to update my non-'literature' books on goodreads this year!)
