Kindred Eight: The Jock is the eight story in Aimster’s Kindred series. This one was probably one I enjoyed better than the last one just because I didn’t have to translate much. Just one chapter had a tiny scene that needed translating.
I also liked that this story followed the twins more than a few of the others even though I’m not sure I like the twins that much though Mark has actually grown on me more than I expected him too. It’s probably Carey I like the least and there were some instances in this story where I wanted to slap Carey because he came across as whiny and bratty.
I was almost glad Emma was in those scenes because she really helped balance him out. It should be interesting though to see what happens to Carey in the next story given the ending of this one.
Also the Alex plot in this story was really well and the twist that came from it was one that I was not expecting at all so I’ll be looking forward to how that changes things going forward. Just like I am wondering how long Alex can peacefully stay at the labs with Damien and Morris and the others.
I think the only downside to this story was the lack of Jesse who is probably my favorite clone. That and the kidnapping at the end. I just hope one of these days one of the stories doesn’t end in a kidnapping or have a kidnapping in it.
But then again I almost feel that would feel like a completely different series if that were to happen. But I can dream for a nice world for this series at some point maybe cause the clones really do deserve a break at times or a really long vacation.
