[Review] Blood Signs

Mar 20, 2011 17:33

Right. So I found this terrible book. It is not as terrible as that one book I mentioned about two years ago, because nothing could be that bad, but this one is still bad.

I actually want to find that super terrible first book again so I can fully review it for you guys. It was the one that had a faerie (I think) who left gold glitter trails ( Read more... )

My blood is a Mary Sue and she makes me go nucleaaaar. I don't know, but it looks lyrics from a good crapy song.

Thank you for making me laugh so much, thank you. You brighten my day :)

Sorry for being a creep, but I smelled language abuse and came running <3 Seriously- repetitive use of pet names (in this case, a SINGLE name) does not an 'exotic' (*blegh*) foreigner make. This Amber Kell seems to be doing something I see some Hetalia fanfic writers do- throwing in random words in different languages without understanding the grammar behind them :/

I'm rather a beginner at Russian, but from what I understand 'moyo solnyshko' isn't grammatically correct... I believe that the genitive case in Russian works with the object being possessed coming BEFORE the possessive pronoun, making it 'solnyshko moyo'. BUT then I don't think the preposition makes it correct. Instead of 'moyo' I think it's "moĭ" (in Russian Cyrillic as 'мой') I...don't know what 'moyo' would do to it. But yeah- "Solnyshko moĭ" = "My Sunshine" I thinkSo yeah...was that the only 'Russian' phrase she used, or was that just one gem of many? XD I'm having fun. This book sounds hilarious- I sort of hope I can get it free somewhere so I can lol at ( ... )

After you mentioned that moyo solnyshko should probably be the other way around, I actually went and looked it up myself and you are completely right.

Yet another reason to throw this book in the trash! That is, of course, where trashy books belong. I looked it up on amazing and it costs all of $2 is you wanted to buy it, but you could always check out your libraries catalog. As far as I can recall 'moyo solnyshko' was the only Russian phrase she tended to use.

But as you can see, she used it a lot.

And pfft, there's no need to stalk! Or at least only stalk the few public entries. I shall friend you so you can see them in all their horror!

saw the words 'russian' and 'sun-kissed' and 'solynshko' and 'nuclear' and my brain slapped me in the face claiming it sounded like a (poorly written) russia/america.

after telling my brain to get off smut for five minutes, i started laughing. and retching a little bit in the back of my throat

it feels like really bad fanfiction EBONY D'ARKNESS DEMENTIA RAVEN WAY TOTALLY GOFFIC YAY Brain also made the connection ( ... )
