Vampires, werewolves, dragons, uncomplicated lesbian relationsips? Sure, I have enough of an imagination to wrap my head around fictional concepts...but only under certain circumstances. I can even accept throwing hundreds of years of vampire lore out the window in favor of sparkling, vegan vampires and Native American (shock) wolf-men. What I cannot accept, however, are regular, human characters who don't act like real fucking people. That's not creative license, it's bad character development. I have a feeling that this was a story that Stephanie Meyer has had brewing since high school. I once wrote a novel that had my idealized self roaming around on horseback saving idealized versions of Renee O'Connor. My books are better, in my own opinion. Better than this bullshit, though, doesn't mean much. But I'll take it. I have no problems suspending reality in order to appreciate certain types of fiction.

Dhampirs. A child of a vampire and a human. A creature with all of the benefits, but none of the bad things [or, sometimes, the opposite]. Something that would've been on that stupid website in the first book. I suppose this fictional universe had that gaping hole to try to manufacture a tense situation stemming from lack of knowledge. I think I've already beaten the lack of originality and the clumsiness into the ground, though. And, if I make any more comparisons to Angel, people might start to think I liked the show more than I did. I knew I'd forget something.
