Because this is a novella, it's not very long. Still, there's a lot of action crammed into it. In ways, I was kind of expecting more. I understand that Bergren was tying up loose ends. I guess, since the whole series up until this point has been told through only Gabi's eyes (this installment is told by both Gabi and little sis, Lia), I wanted more Gabi. She didn't really do anything other than fret over Marcello and Lia. Which is fine, but if all the action is involving Lia, then I think there should have been more Lia and less Gabi. I read an Amazon review that said all Gabi did was obsess over Marcello, but I don't agree with that. She had legitimate reasons for having him occupy all her thoughts. Also, I noticed that Lia mentioned how she nocked an arrow quiet a few times, to the point where I began to take note. I don't like being distracted by minor details like that.
Other than those small things, I loved Bourne. And right now, it's only 99 cents. Can't get much better than that. I'm really glad I got to see things from someone else's perspective. I'm a big fan of switching up point of views, and Lia is just as tough and likable as her older sister.
If you haven't read the previous books in the series (Waterfall, Cascade, and Torrent, which I wrote about here and here), you really should. They have a way of transporting you to a different time that's both romantic and horrifying. Gotta love those medieval fight scenes. I did, and I didn't think they were too gory. But then again, I do love horror and action movies.

Speaking of action, this movie was on tv the other day. Oh, Mel. You just wanted freedom.
