When Micah’s parents didn’t believe that she didn’t kill Zach it kind of shocked me. Micah knew the white boy was the one who did it yet she had to prove to them that it wasn’t her. When she did prove it to them by bringing the white boy home to her parents and with him admitting it, her parents didn’t even apologize to her for blaming her for something she didn’t do. When her parents had taken her and the white boy up to the farm to see the greats I had no idea that they would leave her there and not even think twice about it. I can relate with Micah and how she felt after she found out that they left her there never to return for her. If she felt any way that I did, when I was 16 and my mom dropped me off of my dad’s door step and then left me, then she felt disowned, abandoned, broken hearted, betrayed, and so many more feelings that run through your body. I felt for her when I read that part because it brought up so many memories for me that was deep down.
I am glad that she ended up feeling sorry for the white boy and wanted him to live. Even though I would be so angry with him that he had killed Zach it wasn’t necessarily his fault because he had no idea what he was or what had happened to him. If he would have had all of that information then yes he would be to blame. When I read the part where the greats wanted to cherish him and use him to mate I was excited for him. He will end up having a great life living there with the greats.

Powerful blog, April. In the last part of the novel we are very aware of Micah's relationship with her parents...and the true nature of it. You aren't going to like the last section at all.
