Marked: Blurb

[zelda_queen]

ZeldaQueen: Alrighty folks, we might as well take it slow getting back to the world of the House of Night. This was supposed to be lumped with my final thoughts on the book, but it wouldn't fit so we get it here! And just for you all, I've brought in Leah to help out!

Leah: You know, I was enjoying my break

ZeldaQueen: Well, all good things must come

So, they've outright said their character is a Mary Sue. Yet, so many people don't see this. Wait... the people who do see it use Mary Sue as a literary critisism term, the ones that don't see it as an insult thrown around to dampen writing spirits.

[zelda_queen]

And it's almost like they can't wait to tell us how big of a Mary Sue she is, seeing as they spoil it on the back cover and all.

Makes me think you should look at the back covers of the mother's other books to see what that says about her other books.

I'm seriously considering it. I just need to see if my local library has any. ^_^

Oh gosh, this thing is just... kinda pathetic, actually.

"That's like farting at the end of a eulogy" made me laugh :D

I can't wait for you to dig into Betrayed.

I know. I hate how it builds the book up like some epic adventure, and most of it is actually Zoey sitting around, talking about boobies and how hot guys are. -_-

XD I'm glad you liked it. That's honestly the first analogy that came to mind.

Oh ho ho, that one will be a treat. >_< The Cast ladies continue to rack up on the fanfiction cliches and...well, you'll see in a few days. ;)

Nerd Herd? HEY. LEAVE THADDEUS AND THE GUYS OUT OF THIS. I LOVE THOSE BOOKS.

While I do realise that it's probably a very general term, it really has no relevance. There is no point to it being tacked on there. It really does set the tone for the rest of the book though...

[zelda_queen]

I swear she *doesn't* even use it in that book! I think she uses it for the first time in the third book. O_o

"She has been Marked as special by the vampyre Goddess Nyx and has affinities for all five elements: Air, Fire Water, Earth and Spirit."

Fire Water? So... The elements are Air, Earth, Spirit and Booze, then?

[tarawyn]

Oh, THAT'S what Spirit is! XD

[sotnosen93]

A Cherokee with an affinity for getting drunk? Oh wow.
