dark emotional medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

Still in love with Chris! <3 But the only problem I had with this installment was the jumping around with the different side stories. I find it interesting how they expanded the world of the Marketplace. But I was more invested in the story line involving Chris and Michael (poor little cinnamon role). I love the discussion about ethics in the lifestyle and how it brought up a lot of argument not just about the lifestyle but about sex, gender identity, education. Even threw in my favorite Disney lesson: "No matter what be true to who you are inside." <3

This is an amazing addition to the marketplace series. I especially found the little stories expertly wound into the narrative to be enjoyable. I very much enjoyed being able to spend more time with Chris Parker, getting his backstory and seeing what was happening with his trainee Michael. Though I was disappointed with the ending Michael got, Chris's ending was perfect.
