Oh, man, Drina's a redhead? Now she reminds me of Victoria, another despised female character. At first I thought that Drina was just another silly name that Noel made up, but I looked on Behindthename.com and it turns out that Drina is actually a rare nickname for Adriana. *shrugs ( ... )

You know, there are similarities books of the same genre share and then there's this book ( ... )

--Why must there always be love triangles in YA fiction? Is that really the only way that the writers can make the love story interesting?--

Yes, yes it is.

This is the chapter that had me giving up on Ever as a character in a mind-numbing, hair-tearing frustration. Ev, sweetie, all you have done since Page 1 is bitch about your sudden onslaught of powers and how they make it impossible for you to lead a normal life. And when an adult who shares your abilities offers to teach you how to control your powers, you give her attitude and blow her off? You MORON.

/That’s like whining about how your orange tree never gives you apples./

Yes, but are they smoldering oranges?

You are right! How dare that tree not give me smoldering oranges! XD ( ... )

I agree, it would make sense if Ever was suspicious. I can see how her powers would make her naturally suspicious of everyone, what with the mind-reading and people's tendency to think one thing and say another. Which could actually be a good bit of character development...if Ever was a well-rounded character. I could also understand her jumping at the chance to get some control, even if it means trusting a complete stranger. (Actually, that could be interesting, especially if it bit her back later.) But her powers are supposed to be a torment, so one way or another she should want to get help ( ... )

"Why must exes be evil? I’m an ex, I have exes, and we are not evil. "

That sounds like a great premise for a story - the Legion of Exes, made up of exes who are sick and tired of being constantly demonized in real life and media and provide each other with coffee and support.

I could see you writing something like that. XD

zelda_queen October 28 2010, 17:36:51 UTC

Yeah, now that I've thought it up, I must write it! Hmm, maybe it'll go into my superhero story I've been thinking of. XD

I would pay money to read something like that.
