Sini

Book five of the Kate Daniels -series.

As the previous ones, this was fast and easy to read. Now that I try to remember what happened, it is surprisingly hard. Read it, enjoy while it lasts and then forget... I like most of the characters. I hope Rafael comes back in the next book ;)

I needed a book to read while travelling. I picked this up, but couldn't finish. The hero was so demanding and condescending towards the heroine, that I couldn't deal with it. 50 shades, meet vampires. When the heroine asked the "hero" to stop when they were having sex and he didn't, that was the last straw for me.

New Moon was way better than Twilight. Why? Because Edward Cullen wasn't there for the most of the book. Give me Jacob Black any day! Edward, being oh so perfect, is boring beyond words. Jake has issues, so he is more interesting as a character. I have to admit that Meyer knows something about emotions and writes easily readable yarns. But why is everyone into Edward Cullen? I want Jacob Black fan club!

If I was 12 I might have liked it. Now - mostly having fun with the poor writing and bland characters! The only thing she got right is the feeling a girl haves for her first crush - but I had that at 10 or something, not at 16 or 17 :D I do understand WHY this sells - who didn't want a beautiful, mysterious boyfriend in their teens?

Really fun stuff about the eternal battle between the Light and the Dark. Nothing too heavy, just plain good story telling. I laughed out loud several times to the small jokes in the stories. The book isn't a one big story but three stories about Anton's life. Recommended if you're looking for plain fun pleasure reading. (And if you want more depth you can always participate in more detail to the eternal debate between Light and Dark.)

You can't help liking Sunshine. Even if her thoughts are sometimes a real info dump, this is a book you want to finish quickly. Secondary characters are fun too, and having a librarian in the crowd is a big plus. I would like to hear more about what happens / has happened, hope this won't be the only novel set to this world but she'll write more of Sunshine and her friends.

Jant is one of the best characters ever. Right in the same league with Robin Hobb's Fitz and Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan. He is so real with his flaws that you can't help liking him.
And the rest of the book - oh, it's good too. Recommended.
