I've started writing this review a thousand times. And I still don't know how to start it.
"The Host" is so different from The Twilight saga, I wasn't expecting it to be like this. AND I WASN'T READY TO LOVE THIS BOOK LIKE I DID. We have here such complex characters, and I've always thought that this book was all about Melanie saving the world and those cheesy kind of things, but Melanie was just half of the body, and Noa was the other half of it (in the portuguese edition, her name is Noa and not Wanda, btw), and I loved it that way. I already suspected what the end would be like, not a big surprise, but now I'm not ready to leave that world. I saw here on GoodReads that there will be a second book, but that was a year ago, and we still don't have dates.
Last but not least, when I was reading this book at first I felt like it was missing something, but then I understood what it was: all the romance that Stephanie had created in Twilight. All the romance just appeared at first in Melanie's memories, and then, a lot later, so it wasn't too much or too little. I enjoyed this book much more like that, and I was Team Ian since the beginning (I never really liked Jared, not even when he started to be nice to Noa because he found out that Mel was there too; and Jamie is just the cutest thing ever).
