She never assumed he had given up on her. She doubtlessly believed Adrian was going to save her. I can proudly say she's one of my favorites characters. The evolution of her character was fantastic.

I wasn't much of a fan of her in the first two books, but she started to grow of me in the past book, and now I absolutely adore her. She never stopped fighting for her freedom. Anyone in her situation would have given up, but not her. I admire her courage All I can say is that she's one the best characters I've read about. I never thought I'd hate Adrian Ivashkov, but I did. That made me hate him, even though I love that character so much. Instead of finding Sydney, Adrian decided to go back to his old life as a party boy. I was so, so mad and burning with anger, the I'm-gonna-kill-everyone sort of anger. He had abandoned Sydney, and was now drowning in alcohol. I was stunned to read that Adrian had given up. I started this book thinking Adrian would act like Nemo's dad, doing whatever it takes to get his son back, to save him. It was really hard to read those ten first chapters where Adrian was lost and hopeless - it was emotionally painful.

It made me laugh, jump of happiness, but mostly cry. 'Ivashkov,' she repeated, her face the picture of serenity.
