Marked Chapter 8

Posted on 04/30/2012 by vivisector

Let’s talk about rules, shall we? Because it always comes up in genre fiction involving vampires, werewolves and such. Whenever the author decides there’s a “rule” that they don’t what their creatures to be bound by, they have a side … Continue reading →

We begin with Neferet taking Zoey on a tour of the school. She explains that, as it’s four A.M., classes have been out for more than an hour. She says that They start at eight P.M. and end at three. … Continue reading →

Marked Chapter 6

Posted on 04/26/2012 by vivisector

We start off with Zoey thinking about some “ancient song” whose lyrics happen to still rhyme in English. It’s always amazing how that works out, isn’t it? Zoey’s memory is slowly coming back to her, because remembering that you’re turning … Continue reading →

Marked Chapter 5

Posted on 04/24/2012 by vivisector

The thing I hate most about Zoey and her teen angst is how we’re supposed to take it all seriously. Whenever she says something is a huge injustice, we’re supposed to agree with her. We’re not going to discover that … Continue reading →

Marked Chapter 4

Posted on 04/22/2012 by vivisector

I’d like to talk about villains, for a moment. If only because PCK has inserted a rather annoying one so far and I wanted to specify why it bothers me. See, the step dad as an antagonist—because he’s not high … Continue reading →

Marked Chapter 3

Posted on 04/20/2012 by vivisector

I’ll say this. If PCK’s goal was to make me hate Zoey right off, they’ve done an admirable job. She’s a maudlin teen that’s extremely spoiled who complains about her home life which isn’t bad at all. If she were … Continue reading →

A couple of things before we get into new business. First, I’m glad that PCK won’t try to wring drama out of Zoey being human and begging to be transformed. If you’re going to emulate Twilight and market a vampire … Continue reading →

Marked Chapter 1

Posted on 04/16/2012 by vivisector

We start off with some acknowledgements to various folks. The mother thanks people from her creative writing classes in ’05 to ’06 and her daughter. They both do this cutesy thing where they each say something nice about the other … Continue reading →

Final Thoughts on Inheritance

Posted on 04/14/2012 by vivisector

A lot of consequences in life aren’t the outcome of a single decision, most. They’re often the accumulation of little choices that stack up before we realize. But there are solitary moments that change everything. Stephen King wrote about how … Continue reading →
