Though I will say I LOVE the character of Arianna, Evie's vampire roomie. I appreciate that White gave her vampires a different set of rules than we're used to seeing, but I had a lot of trouble with it. At least Evie and I can agree on that.-The vampire mythology. But I don't think he came across on the page the way White pictured him in her head. I got the feeling that Kiersten white really enjoyed writing this character. I didn't like seeing her pine away for her boyfriend who is away at college, act like a jerk to her only friend, and only want to attend college for the sole purpose of being near her boyfriend.Other things I didn't like:-Jack. This was a let-down from "Paranormalcy." Evie no longer deserves to be on my "kick-ass heroines" shelf, because somehow between this book and the last she's turned into one of those vapid heroines that is all too common in teen fiction these days. I probably will just to see what happens, but I certainly don’t anticipate it.You can read more of my reviews here. The relationship seems stained, mainly because of the secrets Evie is keeping from Lend, but also because, somehow, Lend has managed to become a bland copy of his former self.I feel that the quality of the series has deteriorated greatly, and am unsure whether I will pick up Endlessly when it is available. Evie and Lend’s relationship sufferers in this book - Lend has definitely lost his charm and becomes a peripheral character. More is also revealed of the fey and paranormal creatures by and large. I also liked that more of Evie’s past was revealed, and we get a better understanding of her true nature. I liked the idea of it, and did not see the twist at the end coming at all. It galls me that Evie only applies to one college - the one Lend attends - and never gives any thought to what she would do if she isn’t accepted, which is silly considering her poor performance at school anyway.The story is fast paced and enjoyable to read if overlook the changes in Evie.
Evie tends to take a minor set-back and extrapolate it out so that her whole life becomes meaningless because of it. Her selfishness astounded me because I had not thought of her as such, but in this book all Evie can do is think about herself. Evie behaved foolishly throughout the whole novel, keeping secrets from Lend to spare his feelings and ensure he doesn’t become angry at her, taking on risky missions and not telling anyone when she sees Reth around. When things DO happen, she’s complaining about how paranormal creatures never leave her alone and she just wants a normal life. Nothing is good enough for her: her job sucks, school isn’t as glamorous as she thought, Lend isn’t around enough, and she keeps wishing she wasn’t so bleeping bored. Where before Evie had been delightfully brazen and independent, in this book she just whines constantly.
I did not enjoy Supernaturally as much as Paranormalcy.
