I've Read Better Fan Fiction
I usually love YA Fiction, but this hot mess of a series is dismal. The actual writing is so bad I often had to turn back to figure out who was doing the talking or who was being referred to. The incomplete sentences, botched tenses and pronouns were very distracting. Apparently the designation "immortal" only applies until the character dies and "magic" is only part-time. The cast of characters is huge, many with similar, non-gendered names. Apparently new "powers" occurred to the author as she was writing books two and three; new powers pop up on established characters as the series progresses. And then there are the random sex scenes which are clumsy at best and certainly inappropriate for YA fiction. Like watching an accident, I couldn't turn away; I actually read the first three in the series. It hurts my heart that writing this bad can receive such rave reviews and have such a huge following. I'm done slumming...going back to real literature.
