Who'da thunk it?
I asked my personal librarian to get me The Host, mostly because I'm a completist, I guess. It does repeat some unfortunate themes from the Twilight series -- our heroine is once again torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool, for example -- but I quite liked it. It even made me cry.
Then I found out there's a sequel in the works. Ugh. I think maybe Stephenie Meyer's biggest problem is she doesn't know when to quit. That would explain the fucked up ending -- we are all set for a tragically beautiful ending, and then surprise! the main characters all survive, in the perfect setup for a sequel. Which I will be forced to read. Nooooooooooooooo.
Stephenie Meyer would be so much better if her career were tragically cut short. Which won't happen, for that very reason.
