I just finished the first book in this trilogy. It reads like a comic book. I like it! Although the background history on the world that Scott Westerfield made for this series somehow had that vague quality, in my opinion anyway, I stilll think he pulled it off. Very well so. And the characters were very human despite their superpowers. He was really able to convey that they were teenagers with problems normal teenagers have while at the same time they are superhuman beings with supernatural problems. It kind of reminds me of a Buffy Summers struggling through highschool as well as struggling to keep the hellmouth at bay and save the world.
It has a tinge of romance but that part does not contain any tackiness that might make you cringe in disgust. It may not be Jane Austen, but it is very entertaining. It is quite an easy read that you can finish it in one day. It just took me long to finish because of the powerful combination of deadlines and procrastination. LOL!
I’m on the second book, and I hope I get to finish this trilogy before Stephenie Meyer’s “Breaking Dawn” gets out.
Wish me luck. Lots and lots of it.
The rest of the trilogy;
