A review by kosmond
Destined by Kristin Cast, P.C. Cast
2.0
Dear oh dear, where do I start with this book? It's book nine in the House of Night series. NINE!
I do like these books, the story is good, the writing it decent and the characters are fun. But I think the series should have been wrapped up in the 3rd book. It seems the authors are just trying to drag it on and on, like they don't want to give up. But seriously, what more can you write? If you haven't read all the books up to Destined, then maybe you shouldn't read my review, I dont want to spoil anything for you.
Here we go, first off, the fact that they are bringing Heath back into the mix is proof that they are running out of original ideas. I mean, he died, let him be dead and move on. And this "I used to be bad, and now I'm good" characteristic that half of the characters have, needs to be done. Neferet is back and still be head hancho of the House of Night, the nerd herd is living in the depot with Rephiam who is now human half the time, and lo and behold, Kalona is rethinking his badassness. *sigh*
I'm having a hard time writing this review, because it's a love / hate relationship. I want to be done with this series, but the darn cliffhangers that they have at the end of EACH (of the NINE books) is too much! I think they are the only thing that brings me back each time. I seriously curse myself while reading these books up until the last chapters, because I just can't stop. Good for you P.C. and Kristin for being able to get us hooked each and every time.
Zoey and her friends haven't changed much. They're still on each others case, Aprodite still the smart-ass, Stevie-Rae still the country girl and so on. Characters are being killed off and Zoey is trying to defeat Neferet, nothing new.
Honestly, I didn't find this book kept me interested as much as the previous others. But once again, I've been pulled in, and I am (not without reluctance) anticipating the book that will put this series up into the whooping double digits, Hidden, #10.
