Those are the exact points why this series is annoying as hell but also a lot of fun to read.<br />I hate it when they write whole paragraphs about how supportive they are of gay rights... ever heard of "show, don't tell"?<br /><br />Anyway, I just stumbled upon your blog and I want to tell you that I think it's awesome! I love your review format and your honesty. I'll def. be coming back :DMiss Bookiversehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459663861137013056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380182411679549976.post-37706278372240897512011-04-10T10:49:12.698-07:002011-04-10T10:49:12.698-07:00lol great review, I agree with all your issues abo...lol great review, I agree with all your issues about House of Night and more. It's such a monumentally bad series that we haven't been able to tackle it just because there's so much to talk about.<br /><br />I'm glad I wasn't the only one to be annoyed by the terrible stereotypes - I love how you can only occasionally tell the "twins" apart by one's spontaneous outbursts of stereotypical behavior, you know, like liking boys whos pants sag while her prim-and-proper caucasian counterpart does not. And Kramisha....oh my God I can't believe there hasn't been any kind of controversy over her.<br /><br />The writing is fucking awful, and the worst part is probably that nobody ever learns, evolves or changes, except for Aphrodite, and that stopped about four books in.<br /><br />I honestly don't understand how these are so popular, especially in the blogging community. You'd think we'd know better.Kayla + Cynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191529515649646314noreply@blogger.com
