The Host by Stephenie Meyer
5.0
Wow this book made me so emotional and I just love the characters so much!!! So many feelings and in a less condensed version than Twilight, so that was a super pleasant surprise.
-Ian is the sweetest. Like I don't have fictional crushes but he warmed my heart.
-I hated Jared and just wanted him to go away. Sorry Melanie.
-I liked how Melanie and Wanderer befriended each other but I feel like it happened so fast. Maybe it's because her sense of time in the novel is unknown and we didn't get to see everything. I completely bought it though. Their struggle at the end made me so sad and happy.
-I loved how it was sci-fi but not sci-fi. Stephanie Meyer's world and how she explained the alien race was so interesting and refreshing to read about.
-I thought the "wow I've made so many friends and look there's that character" stuff was kind of pointless. I didn't care about anyone that wasn't Wanda, Melanie, Jamie, Ian, Kyle, Jeb, or Doc. I guess it's to build up the community vibe and I get that... I tended to fly over those parts so they'd be done quickly though.
-That scene where Kyle tries to kill Wanda!!! So good!!!! And then Ian comes to the rescue!!! Even better.
-I shouldn't have been surprised by the ending but I felt everything that Wanda was feeling - like it was her time to die but happy she got to stay there with Ian and everyone.
