ihateprozac 's review for:
The Fury
by L.J. Smith
Oh maaaaaan, what can I say about this book? If you thought The Struggle was epic, The Fury is EPIC. We learn the truth about The Other Power, Meredith's family secret, the spirit who talks through Bonnie, and who Alaric Saltzman really is. And in the process we cry like a bitch. Or at least I do. ;)
I tried to write this review without spoilers, but I really can't. I feel the need to keyboard smash (in a goodway!) about Katherine being the Other Power and having faked her death :O I'd only entertained the notion of her being the Other Power for a second, and I feel like it was written so that the reader would never entertain the thought seriously. I honestly had no idea where it was going and who the Other Power could be!
In my previous reviews I bitched about Elena and how she was such a ridiculously hard character to empathise with, given that she was pretty much the Regina George of the vampire genre. She was so shallow and petty that I never thought I'd relate to her, but she slowly became more tolerable, and I ended up liking her by the end of The Fury. Then she sacrificed herself trying to kill Katherine and I cried like a bitch D;
I thought the author was a nut for making such a horrible character the love interest of a vampire, and I couldnt see the reasoning for it. But now I think LJ Smith just might be a goddamn genius. The transition from asshole to angel in Elena's case is gradual, and even though she practically becomes a whole new person, personality-wise, it doesnt ever seem like that.
Overall; damn epic book, and even if you think you can't relate to Elena, YOU TOTALLY WILL.
