Title: Romance novel with training wheels
Product review: Apologies for the negative review, but this book simply isn't very good. Two main reasons:First, genre. I had heard this series called "the next Harry Potter", but about vampires. I was expecting any of action, adventure, fantasy, horror. It's none of those things: it's a bodice-ripping romance novel written for 13 year olds. What a boring genre. Bodice-rippers are useful for their titillation, but when written for young teens, only the dull exposition remains. It's Danielle Steele with training wheels, interesting only to girls who aren't quite ready for the books with Fabio covers.Second, characters. Every character in the book is perfect and without depth. Perfection is boring. Uncovering major character flaws and seeing how those flaws are dealt with allows characters to develop and grow over time. None of that here.I won't be reading the rest of the series.
