This was another one that I tried, but just couldn't get into and gave it up. I found Helen to be blah, her constant talking about hiding things got on my nerves and I really didn't care what her secret was. Giggles was slightly interesting, but not enough for me to keep reading.
Yes. I forgot to post this one earlier so I'm letting this one go through a good deal of August.
I liked this book well enough. I didn't understand how quickly Helen and (view spoiler) came to be in love. Especially after the way they interact with each other every time they meet. And I wonder (view spoiler)
I'm reading book 3 now and I pretty much remember nothing from book 2 other than I read it. Like some of y'all who were saying you're burnt out? I think thats whats happening to me. Or maybe this just isn't a good series?It seems to me like authors are getting lazy. Like every book has to be a trilogy. I'd rather they take the time and draw the story out. It feels like the last few books that I've read the author decided to make the girl the most amazing girl in the history of ever. There is a difference, at least to me, between girl power and Mary Sue. This weekend I finished Chosen at Nightfall, I'm reading this book and I finished that Revenants book last week and all three of them it was like the author randomly made the girl in the book the most strong, most amazing, most perfect girl ever and her sheer awesomeness solved all of the problems and plot lines the author had lined up.
Its so annoying!
There's still time in this book for the author to go left and have the obvious choice not be what happens but I'm not holding out much hope.
These books keep making me think of Harry Potter. Harry wasn't the greatest wizard of all time. Hermione and Ron both had strengths and weaknesses. If JK wrote the way people seem to be writing these days Harry would have been over in book three when he obtained the most magical wand in all of the wizarding world and ambushed Voldemort with one well placed spell and that would have been that.
Its like since Bella became a vampire authors don't think an average character is good enough.
That was a random tangent.
