Hiya!
- Alexa Mintah
- Alexandria, better known as Alex or Alexa, is a strange Christian-fangirl-YA-writer medley tucked away in an undisclosed location in Virginia. She loves creating worlds out of keystrokes, discovering adorable ships (platonic or romantic), and becoming besties with clever characters who wow her with love and brilliance. When only half spellbound by her many worlds of words, she can be found working amongst the stacks in her local library.

*groans* I read Royal Wedding. The political statements didn't bother me all that much cuz I tended to agree on most of them (though they didn't make the book any better, of course) but it was still terrible for me because it was about the most cliche thing I had ever read in this history of my life. Like, twins, sister, parents, romance, kingdom, emotional-ness, and having all the same best friends from high school? *groans* IT WAS FLUFFY AND CUTE IN THE WAY THAT MOLD IS FLUFFY AND CUTE AND I DO NOT LIKE CLICHE STORIES.
ReplyDeleteSo. Yeah. Those are my feelings.
I agreed with some of them too, but to me, it was about more than just that. It's like the feeling I get when I read a Christian book and they're preaching at me constantly. Whether or not I agree with what they're saying, the way they're saying it is taking away from the story. I'm just here to read a good book, and in my opinion, it's generally best to try and get your message across without shoving it in the reader's face. :p
DeleteHaha, well, that's understandable. For me, though, like I said, it was the perfect way to end the series I've loved since I was about 13.
To be fair, though, she did acknowledge that it was weird for her to have the same best friends from high school, and, from a reader's perspective, it's easier to just bring back all the old characters instead of having to get to know a whole new cast.
So yeah. Guess it just depends on what you like. :)
