My Review
What I love about this book... You may notice that there is not a section in this review for 'what I did not like about this book'. That's because I loved this book. After reading the previous book (book 3) which I was not fond of I was slightly worried that it was a sign of things to come but it really wasn't. I liked the fact that you have one world, the Night World, and in each story you are in the same world but seeing it through the eyes of different characters in different situations. I also like the fact that the more you read the more you see a bigger picture emerging throughout each book that I hope will come to a conclusion nearer the end of the series. I couldn't possibly say which of the three books above was my favourite, I loved them all and I really can't wait to read the next three books....
About the Author (from Goodreads)
L.J. SMITH, Lisa Jane Smith, is the New York Times #1 Bestselling author of The Vampire Diaries, The Secret Circle, The Forbidden Game, Dark Visions, Wildworld and Night World
series. She has written over two dozen books for children and young
adults, and has enjoyed writing every one of them. She lives in the Bay
Area of California, with a backyard that is full of flowers, which she
adores, especially with many different shades of roses.
She loves
to visit a friend's little cabin in the Point Reyes National Seashore
area, which has lots of trees, lots of animals, lots of beaches to walk
on, and lots of places to hike. Once, while hiking, she saw a snow-white
buck which allowed her to follow it nearly half a mile. She also likes
to collect things: angels (they remind her of her late mother), tiny
boxes from different countries or of fanciful shape, nineteenth century
children's literature, and books about quantum physics--especially about
the mystery of the dark energy in the universe. A militant optimist,
she is also part of the Velociraptor Sisterhood (a fancy way of saying
that she likes to read, write and discuss books with strong female
characters), and she has traveled extensively in Europe and the Far
East. The two countries she loves to visit most are Great Britain, with
its historic monuments and amazing country landscapes, and Japan, with
its bustling urban life and exquisite mountain scenery.
Her
favorite current writer is Terry Pratchett, the author of the Discworld
series, for its wild and witty satires on life, death, war, love,
assassins, coppers, and Australia. Her favorite classical writer is Jane
Austen. Her favorite poets are Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson. Her
favorite movies are The Seven Samurai and Avatar (analyze that!). She
doesn't have a favorite TV show, because she doesn't have time to watch
TV (and only owns one for playing movies).
Her favorite people are her readers, each of whom she cherishes with deep and lasting affection.
Note:
L. J. Smith wrote books 1-7 of The Vampire Diaries series. After that,
a ghostwriter took over the rest of the series. L. J. wrote books 1-3
of The Secret Circle series. After that, a ghostwriter took over the
rest of the series. L. J. did not write any of the Originals or Stefan's
Diaries. These were written by Kevin Williamson and/or various
ghostwritters.
