review 1: Honestly, I love this series. Lissa is a badass lead and it's a great read. However, there are a few things that really piss me off:1) Lissa is constantly being controlled and she just lets it happen, even though she's basically the strongest and most powerful vampire out there.2) Gavin continually agrees to full control over Lissa and other things without her consent and she just forgives him every time (probably the thing I hate the most).3) Lissa basically lets guys do whatever they want to her and just accepts it. She may be pissed at the person for a bit, but in the end it's all good...Every Single Time.4) Shit happens to Lissa and everybody who she continually helps kind of accept it in stride with maybe a mild amount sadness.
review 2: I do not even... more know how to rate this book. I was quickly pulled in, unable to put the book down and finished in a single night - but this is not beacuse it was that good. Nope, it was because it was that bat sh!t crazy!! What the hell did I just read? And how can so many other readers give this book such glowing reviews? Book 1 was OK, book 2 was a little better and book 3 was pretty good. If I had paid more than .99 cents for any of them, then I would be rating them a lot harder and most likely never would have even purchased the second book. So onto book 4. I mean, really, I am still dumbfounded. I love all types of fantasy, supernatural and a wide variety of sci-fi, but I have to say the way Suttle mixed her insanse sci-fi world with her supernatural vampire/werewolf world just did not work. And not only does she just introduce a few strange new creatures or some basic ideas, no, she goes all out with many different creatures, worlds and numerous universes, along with some pretty hard to follow new philosphies. Each new chapter saw the introduction of a new sci-fi species, a new world and more hard to understand ideas. It gave me a headache just trying to follow it all.And on top of it all Lissa NEVER even one time questioned all this insanity going on around her. I mean come on! As an author Suttle knows how to bring the action, but needs to learn that a believable charater has to internalize what is going on around her. In writing ACTION = REACTION. A character's reaction to their experiences helps the reader process and accept what is going on. A lot of other readers' comments commend Suttle on her creativity in book 4, but IMO, if you take away all the supernatural elements and just leave the sci-fi part with Solar Red and their corruption - it isn't even an original story. It may as well be the holocaust just changing Germany to Refiziwhatever, the Nazi's to the Preists and the Ra'Ak to Hitler. Wow, how creative.I do not have a problem with using aliens to explain the origins of vampires or even beings from another dimension as many other authors have done successfully, but in this book, it just did not work. Suttle should have split the two ideas and just started a different series focusing on sci-fi and kept her vampire world in the supernatural realm. less
