The Chosen

The worst nonsense drama ever!

When I first heard of the release of a book dedicated to Xcor and Layla, I was already in a ‘meh' mood. I don't stand Layla's whining and don't even like the couple and the chemistry.
I have also wondered if I should stop reading the series, but I decided to read it just to know what would have happened after I had heard of the release of The Thief. I am very curious to read about Sola and Assail, even if they look like respectively Xhex 2.0 and Rehv 2.0, so I didn't want to miss any relevant plot event.

But here we are: there is no important event. There is just nonsense drama and crappy stuff happening!
I am sorry not to like this series anymore. It used to be one of my favourite series and I loved the characters and everything, but it got less and less appealing over time with non sense drama between characters just to keep alive something that doesn't even sound realistic at all.

I hope that the next book will be better for me, otherwise I will seriously consider to stop there.

LAYLA AND XCOR'S STORY WHOO~! I'm happy to have finally gotten to read that, considering everything that's happened since they first interacted. Also quite glad that certain other vampires are on their way to their own HEA - won't say who because spoilers but if you've been following the series so far you'll probably have a pretty good guess as to who I'm referring to ;D. What I'm not so happy about, though, is how Qhuinn was handled in this one. I mean, I was fond of him before, but now... Now I'm not so sure. I kind of think he didn't quite get what he deserved? Of course that could just be me being a vindictive bitch whose idea of vengeance has always been “Make ‘em suffer for the rest of their natural lives”, but ah well. We'll just have to wait and see.

Also: not sure I quite like what's happening in terms of deus ex machina. I really liked it when it was just the vamps trying to figure out their own place in the world, without any kind of assistance, but oh well. I just hope it's handled well in the subsequent books.
