It was a really long way to travel for that ending. Yes, it is written for female teens and I'm not a female teen, but I've read plenty of books that I loved that have a young, female protagonist. My own book is about a 13-year-old girl! But this one, it just wasn't there.
So, why did this sell so many copies? Was it that e-readers were fairly new and people were just searching for content, or is there really something I'm missing in these stories? Should I read a different Amanda Hocking book, or is My Blood Approves a good example of the type of writing she does?
I haven't read Amanda Hocking yet - she's the breakout e-book author, is that right?
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know what it is that makes a book break out. I read Twilight after my niece (and her Mum) raved about it. It was an enjoyable read but there had been similar Juliet-and-her-vampire-romeo books before that which are just as good (dare I say better?) So why Meyer's books? What made them stand apart? Was it timing? marketing? luck? Whatever it was, I'd like some, please!
