Wings #1

Now I'm always willing to give a new author a shot. Ecspecially one that is endorsed by Stephenie Meyer (yes I enjoyed the Twilight series and I'm not ashamed to admit it!) But what Meyer saw in this book I have no idea. It was by no means a ‘remarkable debut'. Was the concept interesting? Yes, the new look on faeries was great, but that was the only good part about this book. The dialogue was boring and childish. The characters are around the age of 15, they should have a more in depth use of vocabulary and not be so repetitive! Here's an example of Laurel's dialogue to her mother: “Mom,” Laurel said haltingly, “I wanted to talk to you about the land. It's been in your family for so long. And we lived there for my whole life.” To me she sounds like a whining child not a 15 year old. And please describe their language without the use of adjectives! The fact that there is a pathetic love triangle ate at my nerves as well. Oh let me swoon for a boy I barely know! But wait I'm kissing someone else and I feel like I'm betraying the other! Give me a break. Horrible book, bad writing and see through characters.
