Whenever I hear the name of the author "Sounds familiar". The history is; I came across the books of Richelle Mead (Vampire Academy, Dark Swan), Kim Harrison and PC Cast (House of the Night) to JR Ward. The series was erpfohlen on many side and I thought I would find a new series that interested me, so I ordered the books in the original English. Once there, I started the first book of the series to read - the first chapter were difficult to read, incredibly attracted to the length, few contents were described on 3 sides (three sets would have been enough to get a tattoo to describe). I read the first part of the Black Dagger series to an end, the last 100 pages covered endlessly. At the end of the book I knew I had a series and one of the authors found that as little suits me the writing style of the presentation and description of the characters, as Tuen the Twilight movies. Some time passed, someone told me about the series of Lara Adrian, I thought basically "worse it can not come" and took me to the American originals.
On the day on which the shipment arrived, also the shock came to me!
The first book in the series is similar to the first book of the Black Dagger series so much that I can not spontaneously associate, which author has written that book. Basically, the series Vampire Academy, House of the Night among others are classified as young people's books, and readers ages 14-17 are recommended, the series by JR Ward and Lara Adrian contrast, are classified as books for "adults". If I draw a direct comparison, I must admit that the "youth books" are a lot more detail, the characters are well thought-out, the building is - even in a fantasy universe - clearly and logically, the characters are integrated into the action of natural example. is not suddenly the next brother (from which you have read anything) spontaneously in front of the bathroom, and is fully involved into the action without which the main character also only surprised about it! Maybe I'm the age of 26, mentally still too "young" for these books - could be of course, but I expect from a multi-part series basically more than 7-14 characters, 350-400 pages and permanent almost identical descriptions like when and where the main character with a vampire is sleeping. Every act on 2-5 pages describes estimated 6-7x in a book, in between the exact description what the main character particularly remembers being at the end of runs everything on the next act out. It seems to me somewhat incongruous, the 10 pages earlier example. a character dies and then almost 2 pages of the next act and orgasm of the main character is described. The funny thing is, just is not done in "youth series" for the environment of the characters will be better described in details such as. Characters die is embellished nothing in the youth versions and nothing is left out, what would actually be important for the story development. In the series are written on the supposedly adult, parts of the characters are not at all described, get this "we" en masse and constant erotic scenes delivered, which are decorated to the smallest detail.
I have read many books in my life (I guess more than 600), but if that is the current definition of youth and adult books, I want to stay in Gesite 14-17, unfortunately it has in some genres to choose between trash for the masses, partly unknown good books or erotic ham with garnish ...
For me, a 100% bad buy.
