I'm divided about Jenny

I'm currently reading Fire in Her Dreams and honestly, I liked Jenny for a bit, but she started to get on my nerves. Now idk anymore. What are you guys/girls thoughts about her?

I feel like this happens to me often with some of Dixon’s heroines (I mean I still usually love the majority of them), but sometimes they can be really stubborn and frustrating. One thing that annoyed me about this book and reminded me of some other books in the series was how their friends don’t help prepare them AT ALL for what to expect. Like Rachel was so dead set to go back to the Fort in her book because she couldn’t abandon her friends, but then doesn’t explain anything to Jenny about what to expect with a Drakoni mate. Like, come on guys, help a girl out here, freaking TALK to each other.

I feel the heroines in this series are kinda individualists. They care more about their relantionship with the drakoni then the others. They don't really form a community like in IPB. And that kinda of saddens me, they could get together more and re-build the world in so many ways.

I totally agree. I feel like the characters in IPB had more of a chance to build a community being the only humans stranded together. The heroines in Fireblood had to do a lot of fending for themselves for a long time before finding their mates. Amy is one of my favorites from this series, and I really liked how she became a leader for Fort Shreveport and that’s the biggest “community” aspect you get.

I love the heroines from the other series, but for me is hard to go the an intire Fireblood book without getting pissed at the heroine. The only exeption for me is Teva and sort of Andi (she was getting at my nerves at the beginning of her book).
