Still one of my favorite books. I did forget how slow it was at the beginning. But I love it.

This book is bananas and objectively not well written in places but the oddness makes it so gripping and Meyer does a generally great job of making the book about Wanda and Mel rather than the men.

I devoured this book when I read this for the first time years ago, but still whenever I pick it up now I am just as hooked. Not normally a fan of her other works, but this one is one of my all time favourites.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Death, Violence, Kidnapping, Injury/Injury detail
Al comienzo no me gusto mucho, era un poco lento. Pero conforme fui leyendo más y descubriendo al personaje de Viajera/Mel me agrado muchísimo. Es un libro muy bueno, me sorprendió demasiado.

I know, I know... It's Stephanie Meyer.
I did a wonderful job of separating the art from artist in this case, if I do say so myself. I haven't read Twilight in a very long time, but from what I remember of it, it wasn't written as well as this book. In fact, if I didn't know who wrote it, I wouldn't have picked it as a Stephanie Meyer novel.
I somehow didn't read this book when I was younger... I don't even remember it coming out, to be honest. I had only mediocre hopes for this book, but was pleasantly surprised.
There was a fair amount of violence in this book, but it wasn't over the top. It wasn't nice, but it added to the action aspect of this story.
I didn't dislike anybody in particular- the characters weren't written overly well but they weren't dreadful.
The love triangle proudly advertised on the cover was a bit off- it was more of a love quadrangle. I wasn't convinced about any of it... I couldn't forgive Jared for being so horrible and I read Ian as much older than Wanderer, so that creeped me out. I think Meyer has a thing for the whole young girl, older man couple. I didn't like it as the age gaps were just too big, particularly since the girls were only 17 or so.
I did like the relationship with Jamie, Melanie's little brother. I thought it was sweet and helped Wanderer to seem less alien. I got a little emotional over their relationship, it was adorable at times!
The sci-fi element was fine also. It took a little while to get into and understand, but it was a creepily interesting world.
I would have liked to have seen some consequences for character actions. It just seemed all too lovey dovey- there's plenty of talk about shooting people or having them thrown out of the caves, but nothing is done, even when the worst happens.
Overall, this book was fine. It probably didn't need to be as big as it was (just over 600 pages), but it was okay. The pages kept turning and I got quite involved in the story, I just would have liked a bit more depth and less of the creepy love quadrangle.
