"Yes, despite being psychically bonded, showered with presents, and told repeatedly that she is the light of his heart and the saviour of his soul, Ellie still doesn't believe Rain loves her UNTIL THE VERY END, a perfect example of my most hated cliche, Those Three Little Words."</i><br /><br />To be fair to Ellie, Rain has been widely known to have scorched the entire world when his beloved Sariel died. With a guy that much in love with another woman and who clung to her memories for centuries afterwards (there are even songs and poems about their romance that everyone knows by heart), I wouldn't be inclined to believe he fell in love again in a mere few weeks.<br /><br />And that's actually the main reason I don't like this series as a romance. It totally fails for me. And the rest wasn't interesting enough for me to engage me.<br /><br />I slogged through book 4 (I skipped book 3) and nothing has really changed.Estellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348815.post-44688061330550136222010-01-30T17:25:22.121-07:002010-01-30T17:25:22.121-07:00Considering how disappointed I came to be in the f...Considering how disappointed I came to be in the first 100 pages of the most recent book, you make some very good points. I loved the first three books in the series, but that was when I really believed it would move and grow into something more. I don't think the forth did, certainly not well enough to make me go beyond pg. 100 anyway.<br /><br />2 books is plenty of shots.KMonthttp://lurvalamode.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
