![]() It's beyond basic metaphors and cliche imagery about hearts and stars and oceans. It's emo angst that should be emblazoned over a picture of a sad girl on the beach and put on Pinterest. Because this.I mean, there's nothing new here. I find minimalist poetry EXTREMELY hit or miss, and when I (VERY RARELY) read poetry, it's usual the lusher, more ornate kind-or at least the more visually creative. That's just not the kind of poetry I respond to. I definitely appreciate the raw emotions that very clearly went into the writing of them, and how personal the author was willing to get about her life. If I saw any of the platitudes expressed in the "you" section on Tumblr, I'd happily reblog them. I love the sentiments and the lessons, and CERTAINLY the feminist ideas at work here. ![]() I need to go listen to some Dashboard Confessional STAT. ![]() ![]() I feel like I just read my middle school AIM away messages or 200 pages of emo Myspace updates. That was.well, not my favorite ever thing. ![]()

Kim and Xander were besties growing up, completely inseparable. And Xander, where to even start there?Īnd I’m prepared for the rotten tomatoes and voices of dissent but hear me out before you get angry. And much is nonsensical as far as the plotline is concerned. But there is so much of this book re-used from Rina Kent’s other books. Kim’s characterization is fantastic and truer than book three, Twisted Kingdom when she came across like a fluffy little cheer queen. It’s compelling and gorgeous in its emotional depth. I’ve been reading this series since the start, and it’s been getting better with each book, Black Knight, by far the best in the Royal Elite Series.

Suddenly, it’s like the electricity pulses through her blood, a charge she can’t control. In its crater, Marley finds a small purple crystal with a terrifying energy that hits her like a bolt to the chest when she picks it up. For her, it’s an obsession-a need to confront the powerful, destructive forces that killed her parents.īut the storm she and her brother track down seems to violate the very laws of nature, with lightning that strikes as if from another world.
