Thank you. Ah, Adora Belle could step on me for all I care. She's just that awesome. When she finally shows up in Making Money with all those golems and shrugs Moist's worries away all I wanted was to get in the book and hug her.
Marked I'm going to do starting tomorrow if all goes well. It doesn't seem like a Twilight rip off at least, but the main character's voice annoy me for some reason. With the little I read I just wanted to set it on fire. I should have known when I told my best friend that I was going to read it and she ended up laughing for ten minutes and said "Yeah, let me know how that goes." But she thought until Soulless that Twilight was good so I figured if she hated it it had to be decent.
And aren't angels sexless?
Honestly, if the author showed more, had a better pacing, subtle characters and a less whiny protagonist this story wouldn't be so bad (well, as far as these 2 chapters). The author feels extremely lazy.
And I honestly can't deal with characters made for self insert. I love my characters gray, honestly screwed up or flawed and interesting. I try to understand how somebody can connect to Bella or Ever here and I can't see it. They are boring so by that logic I would call myself boring. I like to think I'm at least fun and a bit interesting.
I can only guess the book thing is an excuse to make them talk later. Again, lazy writing! This feels like bad Twilight fanfiction, and considering that Twilight already reads like bad fanfiction...
I won't read the summary though, in case I find a copy and decide to move on. Before I did these two chapters all I knew about this series I learned from a friend at a book store when she showed me book 3 or 4 to me and I read a paragraph. I almost died of laughter at how bad it was. I did a dramatic reading and everything in there.
