It had me craving another book. |
And not just with the Volturi. We were left hanging with so many other things. We've now got half-vampires running around the place, with god only knows what abilities.
I mean, I like having books that allow you to wonder what else could happen in their lives/universe, but not that much. |
They already have plenty of half-vampires all over the place, when the Vampire Academy novels brought them up, and there were plenty of Half-Vamps even before either the V.A or Twilight novels occured.
What Half-Vampires would be capable of, however, would depend on the parent or grandparent breed of full-blooded vampire, in question, on this, i have no doubt in my mind about it.
But regardless of what breed Half-Vamps would come from, you can't deny that in any case, they would still thrive in sunlight, unlike their general Full-blooded counterparts who aren't their Vampire Patriarchs. |

| But each of those books are different in terms of abilities the vampires have, breeds, whatever else. But I suppose i understand. _________________ "When it's time to live and let die, and you can't get another try, something inside this heart has died, you're in ruins." --Green Day

| I get annoyed at the possibility of half-vampires in Twilight. At least it was stated right from the beginning in Vampire Academy that vampires can breed. Stephenie Meyer had us all believing that vampires in her world were completely frozen in time, but apparently that was only the case with female vampires, and suddenly we've got Renesmee. It was a twist no-one excepted. And I know the point of a twist is that it wasn't expected, but usually there's some plausibility in the mix. |

Thank you!! Twilight is basically 4 books which is like 2000 pages that tell us nothing except Bella is going to turn into a vampire. VA on the other hand. With sexy badass gods around the corner and danger, gore, sex and angst, is there even a competition?
essa. out... |

Don't forget that, at least there might have been an off-chance that some of the Breeds, in question, could actually deal with psychic powers, for that matter, S.M. |

| I think Vampire Academy story is much more complex than Twilight. I think thats why i like the series more. Plus I love the constant action. |

All Mead might be misssing, would have to be some skill, though, as she tends to misspell words, from what i just read of the 1st Vampire Academy novel.
Maybe Spelling Skills wouldn't be the only thing she's missing, but that would have to be on the list of skills she's missing.
At least she doesn't censor any Climax that would occur, we have to give her that one, right?Even though i suspect you only get to see half of the climax, though, sadly enough, through Rose's and Lissa's eyes, anyway. |

The spelling issue isn't necessarily all RM's fault. So we should cut her some slack. (I just love her to pieces! I wouldn't want her offended.) The majority of the blame falls on the shoulders of the editors and lack of proofreading. You're not the only one to mention this problem, Tony. I have noticed it in all kinds of books, not just RM's VA series. I have seen it in Twilight. I have seen it in Harlequin romances (yeah, I read them, so what?), and I've seen it most recently in the "Midnight Breed" series. There was probably some in the Vampire Diaries, too, but I can't recall it at the moment. Anyways, IMO, what the problem is, is that the publishing companies, editors, etc, are relying solely on "Spellcheck". The result is correctly spelled words, but inappropriate word choices, and incorrect tenses...that sort of thing.
An example from the Midnight Breed book I'm reading was when the main character was describing the following action around her: (May not be the exact quote) "I saw the taxi careering into traffic." Careering is a correctly spelled word, however it makes no sense. The word they were looking for is CAREENING. What's happening, and I can smell it a mile away, is that when whomever it is who is doing the typing, is allowing the word processing program to complete the words for them. Anyone who has used WORD, or WordPerfect, or even the Open Office programs sees this happen. You start to type something, and the computer makes a guess at what it is you're trying to say. Sure, it *can* be a timesaver, but really, if you let it go, you will get correctly spelled wrong word choices.
I would love a job as a proofreader! I was very good at that kind of thing back in HS. I regularly find mistakes in books and in newspapers, too. It drives me nuts! I'd love to pull out a red pen/pencil crayon and start making marks on the pages! LOL!_________________  Yes, I know it's Devil Hunter Yohko...but she reminded me of Rose. |

| I kind of like finding a few mistakes in books, it makes me aware that they're not perfect, but also makes me love them more for not being perfect. |

| I'm going to disagree with you there, Secret. When I pay for a book, I expect it to be quality. I expect that care should be taken to correct all spelling and other errors. Seeing mistakes makes me feel like I'm not reading literature, but reading something along the lines of fan-fic. No offense to the fanfic writers here, but I have had (at other fandoms) negative experiences with fanfic. Quite a lot of it is badly written. When I see the mistakes I cringe. I absolutely cringe because I feel it detracts from the story. When I see the wrong word used, I'm forced to shake my head and go, "Huh? What's that supposed to mean? Did I read that right?" I just find it frustrating. _________________  Yes, I know it's Devil Hunter Yohko...but she reminded me of Rose. |

| I understand, and I can't say I don't get frustrated sometimes myself, but sometimes it makes me remember people are only human. I can forgive them for that. |

| And now, there's still Half-Vamps running all over the place, without any real rhyme or reason, at all, isn't there? Seriously, there's Half-Gods and Half-Goddesses running all over the place, but at least there's real rhyme and reason, for that to happen, as it would be shown in the world of Percy Jackson And The Olympians, wouldn't there? |
