It's my plan to take a quick nap now, but if I do, I'll have trouble sleeping later. May as well do the blogging now and read or sleep later.
Continued my silence compaign, no good result has been yielded. If this silencing thing isn't going to work, I'll change my strategy to BULLYING... And begging as the LAST resort.
I've read over the first 20% of the 2nd book, Kiss of Frost, and still nothing new. Most of what I read was recap. That is if you count the various french-kissing scenes between Logan and his Amazon girlfriend as new material. Seriously, the guy is such a douche, the biggest jerk hero on the planet. He's the sort of hero who spins from being the knight in shining armour to a BLOODY jerk who makes out with whatever girl in front of the very one he cares so much about. Anyway, courtesy to Vic. I borrowed the cussing word from him.*grin*
I've noticed that Jennifer Estep really LIKES to repeat her writing. I swear I've read about her description on Gwen's, Vic's, Nike's eye colour and Gwen's homecoming dance's dress colour as "a peculiar or a curious shade of colour in between violet and grey, the colour of twilight" for what must be 10 times or even more in the first book. I bet the same description is going to haunt me for the whole length of book 2 and 3 also..and may be book 4 as well. There are many other repititive writing, but I don't bother to list them out here. It would feel like I have to read them all over again just by writing. Quite depressing, I tell you.
Logan isn't a much beloved hero. In fact, I think he's downright the embodiment of girls' nemesis. I'm sure the guy did what he did only to drive Gwen away from him...not with any pleasures or satisfaction at all I assure you. The guy is as much in love with her as she is with him, but he wouldn't admit it. He's trying desperately to push the unsettling truth away by twisting it into something ugly and hurt the girl he loves. A very funny perception. Regardless, did he need to put on the makeout-in-action act whenever he's near Gwen? Poor girl. Her heart is all bruised and her charisma's starting to be affected. So far, I'm afraid she's lost her cool. She's helplessly spinning for him and moping around hoping the guy would suddenly change his mind. Jeez, where's your spirit, Gwen? Tough it up! Tell the guy what a douche you think he is and tell him that you will never ever give him the time of your day anymore. That I'm sure would perk him up A LOT like his ass is on fire. *snickering*
The problem with Jennifer Estep's storytelling skill is that her story IS too expected and easily predicted. I've already seen many of the events that Jennifer paintakingly trying to keep in hiding until the very moment coming. Such as the mystery and the mastermind behind it in Touch of Kiss, I found it out even before the story got to any imporatant parts and my suspicion and theory were confirmed at the end of the book. For now, I know who Oliver's secret crush is. I'm splurting it out now, so if you haven't read this book, steer clear of the spoiler, okay.....It's Kenzie. Yes, both of them are guys. Don't know about Kenzie's side, but it's enough a fact to deduce that Oliver is gay.
*sigh* Imagine my dissappointment for wish of a possible drama, love-triangle...I have absolutely nothing against homosexuality, just so you know. I just...kind of wish his love interest was Gwen. That would fire the romance up to a new level. But no. I knew what the answer was the moment Gwen had a blurred image of someone with BLACK hair. Linking that with his irrating attitude towards her (probably sensing her as a possible RIVAL) and his worry when he saw her touching his notebook and when she told him she knew about his secret crush gives you the ultimate answer. It's not something strange for an author to colourize her group of casts by adding a gay or lesbian couple into the picture. Therefore, I made my guess in no time.
Got my coloured-pencil box today. Yay! The box is bent due to the impact during delivery, but thank god, all the pencils are fine. The colours are gorgeous. The tips of the pencils are soft, giving out vivid colours without the need for straining your wrist . Anyway I'm pleased with what I bought. It deserves my money. Though I have to say, It's freaking expensive.
