Oooh...I might have to read these. I've thumbed through them in the bookstore, but wasn't sure if they would be entertaining and maybe a bit smart, or just way too pretentious.
Overall, it's very entertaining, pretty smart, and sometimes too pretentious. If this sounds like your cuppa at all, go for it, because like I said: CATNIP.
I hope my review doesn't sour you -- I tried not to be too spoilery -- and like I said, I think my review came across as more negative than I meant for it to. The 5 star system is so arbitrary, even with half stars. I had a lot of niggling complaints about this book and this series, but on a gut-level, I still had a lot of fun reading it.
Maybe authors don't like to touch the mortality issue because it's such a downer from the happy ever after promise of the romance, but for me it was like the elephant in the room, and I couldn't ignore it. It's so interesting and full of so much angst and pathos, I don't know how authors can ignore it.
Hi, only new to the series and I’ve only read the first one and ever since I finished it I’ve had the same thoughts that this is a Twilight knock off. It’s been driving me crazy thinking ok Matthew is Edward and Diana is a slightly stronger Bella. The storyline are extremely similar. I don’t know how others do see the similarities.
I read the 1st and 2nd book and I don't want to read the 3rd because I found it was to much like twilight and not to be offensive but I never liked that series. I also found this series quite boring.
