Also, this comment has nothing to do with the story, truth to be told, I was highly entertained & for now it is main genre of literary entertainment. ...more

Even though I have long past the point of where I consumed young adult novels like I'm running out of books to read, the decision to pick this up remained pretty easy (thought it took me months to finish, as I was barely holding on). I knew I had to read this despite the interest for this kind of book has long gone. So I wasn't completely objective of my experience or how I felt reading the story narrated in Edward's POV. But this one I have to say, in a way, Edward himself ruined the fantasy of this mysterious persona that Bella painted him as (in her POV). For someone who was more than century old, he could be little more teen-like and very human?—whether that was deliberate or not, it didn't bother me. Reaching the end was the only goal, learning something new of the same story was just an added bonus....more
Left a comment in Defy Me calling these three additional books, strangers. And they truly were. I wasn’t sure whether I was in the right headspace to Left a comment in Defy Me calling these three additional books, strangers. And they truly were. I wasn’t sure whether I was in the right headspace to read it or it was just fully my impulse to “get it over with� as I read the hopefully true last book of the series. But my opinion from last time didn’t change, the story felt unfamiliar. There was nothing that I felt remarkable or memorable & for most parts Juliette on and off personalities just gave me some major emotional whiplash. While Warner’s character regressed, almost losing his character development. Kenji narrating while Juliette/Ella (whatever) was clearly had issues of her own didn’t make anything redeemable. Overall, I found these three books greedy wish with bad consequences. It was really best to let sleeping dogs lie....more
“Be careful what you wish for� fits exactly to my narrative. I think it was better left as trilogy as this extension offered nothing but confusion. It“Be careful what you wish for� fits exactly to my narrative. I think it was better left as trilogy as this extension offered nothing but confusion. It tried so hard to connect things from original plot and there were handful of details that you can play it with without making it obvious that there was really nothing to make a new story out of it. And you know what, yeah it was THAT obvious! The “we were connected when were still young, therefore it was fate� drama was just too unnatural. It felt like stranger....more
There was certainly a Project Runway there…maybe like 30%? And the Mulan, yeah there was too...2%? She sneaked in as a guy on behalf of her ailing fatThere was certainly a Project Runway there…maybe like 30%? And the Mulan, yeah there was too...2%? She sneaked in as a guy on behalf of her ailing father/brother although Mulan done it better—with conviction! This wasn’t a bad read though. I remembered the characters, pretty much everyone. I also liked that there wasn’t unnecessary info dumping, it was show more less tell which I appreciated. But Asian inspired wasn’t all that evident. It could be any continent and it wouldn’t matter. The romance leaves a lot to be desired....more
So…it’s been a while since I did some reading (books! I read tons load of graphic novels in the past three years I can’t even describe!) and the news So…it’s been a while since I did some reading (books! I read tons load of graphic novels in the past three years I can’t even describe!) and the news of getting back to reading this series—a continuation gave me nothing but pure delight at first (I love this series too much!!) but I felt conflicted after reading Restore Me: one hand, I could really say that I really enjoyed it! Surprisingly 50% of the reason was Kenji (Kishimoto, man, I love you!) and the other, I didn’t like how predictable some things were (yes, even the break up didn’t surprise me, I smelled the inevitable love drama from the moment the fourth book was announced! My shoujo manga expertise tingles~) but yeah, I liked it. I’m excited to read the fifth book. I mean, the ending like WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!...more
