The writing was over-explanatory, and Neferet as a villain was just not believable. Neferet’s chapters, and the chapters she was in, were so bad they were laughable. This book, however, seemed so much worse than the rest.
#HOUSE OF NIGHT BOOK 1 SERIES#
The writing in this series has never been super great, but I’ve always enjoyed it.
Now onto other reasons why this book received such a low rating from me. I’m not going to write a whole paragraph on why what’s wrong, so please just go do some research. When referring to two girls who are (about to be) in a relationship, someone says, “I knew Nicole would be the guy” because she put her arm around the other girl and was acting ‘possessive’. I would have hoped that as more and more books came out, the author(s) would have grown and realized their mistakes, but alas the last book, which was published in 2014, was no different from the rest. The r-word is used repeatedly, there are unaddressed instances of what basically amounts to (sexual) assault, not to mention the numerous offensive and stereotypical jokes/comments about LGBT people. In brief, throughout this series there are many recurring moments where the authors are ignorant, insensitive, and kind of just rude. I’ve written more on this in a review of one of the books on my Goodreads, so I’m not going to go too much into it here. Also, this is one of those series that’s problematic and I kind of hate myself for enjoying. Finally I’m finished with the House of Night series! So the series as a whole I was enjoying until this last book.
