The much anticipated third novel in the Twilight series arrived on August 7th and it only took me a few days to get through the entire 600-pages, but Eclipse was well worth the wait! The saga was a little frustrating to read at times because of the wishy-washy antics of Bella, our all-American teenager who happens to be in love with a vampire and whose friend is a werewolf. But the history of their cultures and the backstories on many of the Cullen “children” made for a fascinating read. As I neared the end, I so desperately wanted one thing to happen… but we’ll just have to wait to see if it does in Breaking Dawn (with an anticipated releasen of fall 2008).
Fantasy July 24, 2007
I definitely have a favorite kind of fantasy: faeries and vampires. For instance, I LOVE Holly Black’s books, so far I’ve read Tithe and Valiant and will read Ironside shortly. I also have enjoyed Annette Curtis Klause’s Blood and Chocolate. But anyway, back to faeries…. I just finished Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr and was blown away. There’s something so sultry about the way Marr wrote it combined with the idea of faeries and courts and powers. It’s just so great to get lost in!
