![]() ![]() ![]() This is supposed to be a book about an immortal warrior girl who fights Reapers to save humanity. She’s so boring, and the novel becomes boring because of how boring she is. What I want to know is, is there a way that can…not be the case? Look, I don’t want to be nitpicky, but this girl has our lives in her hands. The fucking world relies on her and her alone. Will mentions twice that she doesn’t take her duties seriously enough but this is laughed off and treated by the text as if he takes them way too seriously.Ģ. She was vapid, shallow, thoughtless, completely stuck in her own world and hopelessly self-centered. Ellie was certainly realistic – for a certain type of teenager. I would like to take this opportunity to remind people that there is nothing wrong with writing a realistic teenager. Would you really want to watch Buffy if Dawnnwere Buffy? This is Buffy if Buffy weren’t Buffy but Dawn was Buffy. Unfortunately, you want to at least stand up a little in the comparison. So what? Pretty much half the things published in YA these days are reminiscent of Buffy. ![]() This book was highly reminiscent of both Buffy and Bleach. I am not at all exaggerating when I report that I fell asleep twice within the first twenty pages. The characters, the story-telling, the writing, the themes… was there anything? I’ve thought long and hard to determine if there was a single aspect of this book that I even liked. ![]()
