Fun Series!

1st up - read the books in order as they truly are part of a series and truly aren't standalone.

2nd - the series is just plain FUN for a teenaged girl, but there is some serious violence (including death) so this doesn't qualify for a PG13 rating, in my opinion.

3rd - The main heroine is what every normal teen girl wants to be - beautiful, skilled and gifted in almost every way she could imagine. The main heroine grows in a variety of ways from an "ugly duckling into a beautiful swan" - another aspect of fantasy hope for a teen.

4th - Yes, the author is an immature writer and it shows with poor sentence syntax, grammatical errors up the wazoo (wrong words, missing words, added words, etc.), plus long dialogue where you've no idea who is speaking until the very end ... and so forth.

It all makes for an extremely challenging reading environment and there-in lies one of the major drawbacks of the series.

5th - there are truly some laugh out loud moments. The author has a good sense of humour and allows it to play out through many of the characters in the storyline.

6th - I'm a gramma of a mid-teenaged granddaughter and while I wouldn't want her sleeping with a boyfriend for any reason at her age, I can fully respect that the love interests in this series are ONLY just sleeping together and not having sex until marriage (as far as we know, anyway).

7th and final - Hopefully, this new author will find a quality and qualified editor to attend any future work ... and maybe even tidy up this series of books for future readers.
