Apex by Mercedes Lackey

ApexIt was better than the last two...but I think it was because there were more battles, so there was less narration. I love the concept of the story and the setting...but can we just get rid of the main character....  I think I would have liked her better if there was more showing and less telling of how amazing and strong she is... And if there was character growth and development and....flaws, you know, besides her personality...
I feel like Jefferson in "Washington by Your Side" in Hamilton.....
...I swear I don't hate everyone.

Elite by Mercedes Lackey

Elite (Hunter Series #2)I can get past her personality. I can get past her personality. If I can just ignore her "I want to learn things" when her character clearly knows "everything".....I'm not cranky...
I can get past her condescending and judgmental personality. She's more than a Mary Sue.
I want to like her...because there are moments when she's not annoying, but I think I'm just being prejudiced against her... I just don't believe her.
Way to take an entire religion, stereotype it based on a tiny sect, and paint it in a bad and inaccurate light.
Yup all people who believe the same things act the same way; no need to get to know the person individually. And they believe in different things that appear to be stupid, so they must be stupid...
I'm just gonna be over here on my soap box about how stereotyping a religion and the people who practice that religion, and assuming you know them because you've seen people like them before is just a really crappy thing to do. And she thinks she's so forward thinking... Alexa play that song by Lily Allen that was in Pitch Perfect and was performed by the sock puppets... (;
....like....can you try empathy and seeing from someone's perspective instead of judging their views, please....

Hunter by Mercedes Lackey

Ok so mana is the life force...y'all the bread that God gave to the Jews....and the Bread of Life...Jesus...come on.
I'm having trouble liking Joy--like, she just seems too perfect (I mean if we forget that she's kind of judgmental). I want her to be bad at something, and I want her to actually feel feelings besides mean feelings. I think it's because I'm very character oriented, and she doesn't think she needs to grow in anything.
