Whew! After a full weekend of Netflix, I finally sat down to read last night and again this morning and was able to knock out another great book! Read below for a full review of my latest read, Night Star by Alyson Noel.
So, once again, I have to point out that the cover of Blue Moon is still my favorite from this series. That being said, I really like the elixir bottle and what a central part of the story the elixir is in this particular installment.
1. Characters: So much more depth was added to Damen's character in this book! I really enjoy peeling back the layers of the main "cast" in this and letting my perception of them change with every new bit of information I get. The protagonist, Ever, is still likable even after 5 full novels- which I find pretty rare in longer series such as this one. I wish there was a little more interaction between Ever and her aunt, but there is hope for book 6, the final installment, where I'm sure everything will be out in the open (eventually) between them.
2. Story: I can't even tell you how pleasantly surprised I've been throughout this entire series. Somehow the author manages to continue offering new mysteries in each book that build very naturally on the foundation laid in book 1, Evermore. You question what you know about the characters as more and more of their pasts are revealed, but it doesn't come to the point where you feel the author is just toying with you.
3. Author's Writing Style: Let me just say, I will absolutely be reading the other series by this author. Her writing is simple and easy to fly through, by has heart and emotion in it built on substantial characters. Very few fantasy series can be classified as "quick reads" (usually I reserve that term for contemporaries), but this certainly can be. Once I start a book by Noel, I find it very hard to put it down.
4. Overall Rating: 4.5 Stars. The fact that I'm not burnt out after 5 books and am actually dying to read book 6, but also dreading bringing this experience to a close, speaks volumes. I truly hope book 6 has a satisfying ending and that I can finally wrap up this series of reviews with a full 5 star rating.
