On the other hand, the prophecy did say that a friend would kill one of the originals and Cami is the only friend that is currently unhinged and holding a weapon that can take them out.Ĭami is off her rocker and Hayley can't stay in the apartment she shared with Jackson. She cited wanting to continue her uncle's work as the deciding factor to transitioning into a vampire and getting back his stuff might be step one. Why did she take the horse? On the one hand, she could genuinely want all of the dark objects back. Plus she studied psychology for so long that she's able to very easily manipulate people, including Klaus, using her emotions. Most people in her position wouldn't snipe back at a person after listening to centuries worth of malicious deeds they've committed, but she has had his protection and love and even shared his bed. She has a sort of (possibly false?) sense of security because she knows he cares for her. We still don't know what Cami is capable of and it's so interesting watching the bravado she gets from her prior relationship with Klaus play out. But because it's The Originals, it wasn't. It could've just been just the bridge from Jackson's and Cami's deaths and Tristan's take-down to whatever will fill the rest of the season. This episode could've been fluffy and slow and boring. Have you read Wild at Heart? What did you think of it? As always, share your thoughts with me in the comments section below."This family comes with many many hardships, but there is at least one benefit. If you’ve read The Simple Wild, it’s worth reading Wild at Heart to continue Calla and Jonah’s story – just don’t expect it to be as good as The Simple Wild. OverallĪll in all, I enjoyed Wild at Heart more than I didn’t it just didn’t knock my socks off. He is a grey, multi-dimensional character with an interesting backstory and character arc. The secondary characters, namely the townsfolk of Trapper’s Crossing, bring the setting to life, and in many ways, they are more intriguing and complex than the protagonists. The more I read about the town of Trapper’s Crossing, the more I began to wish that it were an actual place that I could visit. The story takes place in a lush, picturesque corner of Alaska in a rural and very close-knit community. Wild at Heart’s saving graces are its setting and secondary characters. All of this made it difficult for me to relate to or care about her. Her spendthrift ways are unreal (I mean, who spends several grand on a fake antler chandelier?), and her fear of every bump in the night and shadow in the woods is absurd. While reading Wild at Heart, I frequently found myself rolling my eyes at her behavior. Namely, she has circled back to being annoying. She grew and matured over the course of The Simple Wild, but she appears to have regressed in this book. The protagonist, Calla, could also benefit from some reworking. The book is over 400 pages in length, but I imagine everything of importance could be conveyed in 300 pages or less. Some scenes go on for too long, and then other scenes feel a bit like filler. The primary issue with this book is that it feels drawn out. The book was at times tedious, and on more than one occasion, I contemplated shelving it and picking up another book. Whereas The Simple Wild grabbed my attention almost immediately, Wild at Heart failed to ever reel me in. The Simple Wild was one of my favorite reads of last year, but this sequel will unfortunately not be making the cut onto my favorite reads of this year.
