Marked Chapter 22

Posted on 05/28/2012 by vivisector

So, we’re starting chapter 22 now and this book only runs to chapter 29. And we just learned the “plot”, as thin as it is, in chapter 20. Two thirds of this book has been about Zoey. Zoey doesn’t like … Continue reading →

Marked Chapter 21

Posted on 05/26/2012 by vivisector

So PCK’s comment about Stoker last chapter really grated against my nerves. That Stoker vilified vampires and that makes him awful. It’d be like saying that The Matrix vilified humans because one of them betrayed everyone to the machines. For … Continue reading →

Marked Chapter 20

Posted on 05/24/2012 by vivisector

So there’s something I’ve been mulling over for sometime and it’s about the “specialness” of avatar characters. It’s one of those things that pops up constantly in bad fiction, where authors strive to differentiate them from the redshirts. And it … Continue reading →

Marked Chapter 19

Posted on 05/22/2012 by vivisector

We rejoin Zoey who’s still weak in the knees from Erik’s creepy make out session with her wrist. She walks past the girls watching a reality show who’s title I won’t give the oxygen of exposure and heads into the … Continue reading →

Marked Chapter 18

Posted on 05/20/2012 by vivisector

So, we’re well past that halfway point and the big plot point so far is that the “dark daughters” are treating their fellow students like pudding cups. Or, that’s the closest thing to a plot I’ve seen. Maybe the real … Continue reading →

Marked Chapter 17

Posted on 05/18/2012 by vivisector

So I have a question about rights, specifically the rights of parents in PCK’s world. Contrary to the constant whining of most of her characters, I’d bet the majority of parents don’t care that their kids go to the school. … Continue reading →

Marked Chapter 16

Posted on 05/16/2012 by vivisector

We’re now past the halfway mark, at least in terms of chapter numbers. At this point, something should be happening. At the very least, PCK should be hinting at a plot. Rowling didn’t focus strongly in the Sorcerer’s Stone throughout … Continue reading →

Marked Chapter 15

Posted on 05/14/2012 by vivisector

I’m still really hating how cheap PCK is being with Elliott. He hasn’t really done anything to deserve scorn from Zoey aside from insulting Damien. Considering how much trouble he’s gotten into just for being disinterested, I’d say he’s just … Continue reading →

Marked Chapter 14

Posted on 05/12/2012 by vivisector

Now that we’re past Zoey’s lit class, we join her in fencing. She says that it’s surprisingly cool. Their instructor is “Lankford Dragon Lankford, or just Dragon” and he doesn’t look like what she thought a male vampire should look … Continue reading →
