Unpopular Opinions Meme!

Give me a fandom and I'll tell you three unpopular opinions about it. If you give me a show/book/movie/etc that I'm not fannishly active about, I'll give you three things I dislike about the media in question instead.

Have you read Waking The Witch? Because if so, I would LOVE to talk about it.

Ah, I have actually just started them XD I finished her Darkest Powers trilogy, which I really super duper enjoyed and started on them. I'm about 2/3s done with Stolen :3 I don't mind spoilers though~

Okay, so my dislikes will make to sense to you.... and honestly, neither would any of my thoughts about Waking The Witch. I'm kind of jealous, though, because you have A LOT of fun books ahead of you.

Actually, right after Stolen you have one of my favorite books of Armstrong's which is Dime Store Magic, starring Paige Winterbourne, who I believe you've recently met.

I must admit, that while I've read some of Armstrong's other books unrelated to The Otherworld, I have yet to read her Darkest Powers trilogy. Glad to hear that you enjoyed them, though.

Oh, I get the idea XD I've been thoroughly spoilered for this series, and I am really looking forward to Paige's book since I already love her, as well as the books with Jaime in them, because I have a soft spot for necromancers.

Darkest Powers was rather awesome, I think the best part was being able to read a heroine that processes her surroundings and deducts things from a more logical standpoint.

Page and Lucas' relationship is arguably one of my favorite romances (and certainly one of my top-five love scenes) or all time.

And Jaime's book was VERY entertaining, and she's always a character I want to see more of.

Sweet!

3 Things I Dislike About Women Of The Otherworld

[identity profile] redbrunja.livejournal.com 2010-10-29 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
1.) I think Armstrong did a terrible job with the characterization of Savannah's parents both of them. I wish she'd had them be more honestly BAD or ruthless in a less morally understandable way. I was very disappointed with the build-up Eve got in particular versus who we saw when we met her.

2.) Hope Adams bores me.

3.) I am not thrilled with Savannah stepping back from her art. That was a great character grace-note that was just kind of tossed away.
