okay, my little bouts of annoyance with Kelsey has reached the stage of constant annoyance. to make matters worse, said annoyance has unconsciously made me pinpoint all mistakes in the author's writing that otherwise, i would not have noticed. so now, i'm annoyed at Kelsey, and mildly annoyed with everyone else too!

The Hero
she does a little bit of work and all the credit goes to her. what the hell does she do?! she tags along with the real heros, does small thing to help, and then returns where everyone is like "we couldn't have done it without you!". undue credit gets on my nerves horribly! and the worst part is, the heros actually believe she's the one that is the hero. again, what the hell does she do besides answer the occasional question and act as assistant to the hero? although I'll admit she did step it up in the end - thankfully! (view spoiler)

Contradictions
that girl is always contradicting herself! sure, a few contradictions i can handle, but it's happening too much! my favourite ones so far are about Kishan. you know, like the "i love Ren, I can't be with you." to the "even though there's a lot of space on the floor, i'll move to the side a little so that you can come sleep directly next to me." it's like she's inviting him to love her more (who the hell knows why he does) so that he can: A. get his heart broken, or B. get his heart broken after experiencing great hope that he will actually have a chance with her. How much can she really love Ren if she's offering his brother, who she knows likes her a lot more than a sister, to sleep next to her? mean! and she's so insensitive about the Kishan-Ren issue too. I feel sorry for Kishan having to be exposed to her like that for so long.

The Chosen One
Plus, she seems to know so many things about what she's practically never heard of before. Right, i get that she's some 'Chosen One' and it comes naturally to her, but would it kill the author to add a little struggling here and there? (view spoiler)



and lastly, I've just figured out who Kelsey reminds me of.
*drumroll* none other than Bella Swan. *shudder*

my favouite part was the epilogue. okay, that sounds bad - i don't mean that i was happy it was over, i mean I got a break from Kelsey's stupidity and actually saw her express some serious emotion. although what happened with Ren was predictable due to constant references throughout the Kelsey-Kishan quest, I liked that it allowed me to see Kelsey sincerely for once.

Empress i agree with everything you've said about this book until the epilogue part. KELSEY AND BELLA SWAN are one and the same....hecks this whole series is somewhat of a rendition of twilight! God she annoys me so much. Undue credit is really annoying...


is mee... kissa Haha! Oh yeah. Very Twilight-y. That stupid taking credit for what others do part is what kills me about Kelsey though. Sheesh!
I'm still gonna continue the series though. The GR ratings get higher with each book and I can stand this series enough to read the next ones. Plus, I'm curious to see if my ratings go up with the next books. Especially because I think I liked the first book better than this one.
