So many people praise it, so I expected something truly extraordinary. <br>What I got was a lot of insta-love (there may not be a relationship, but Elder basically fell in love with Amy the moment he saw her suspended body!!! And Amy keeps saying stuff like trusting him and him making it better and GAH) and characters I felt nothing toward -->"I couldn't help but feel that our two main characters, were nothing but moaning, hormonal, lustful teenagers. I felt no character growth whatsoever. I feel some of the other, lesser described characters, were easier to relate to." <-- one hundred percent agree with you there, Amanda! And about being stuck in the past/future - I didn't think about it when I wrote my own review, but that was definitely annoying...<br><br>Great review! :)Nitzan-Katia Schwarzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17911910716932341277noreply@blogger.com
