Hey, Melinda looks like you're set on series, LOL. And most of these series I know little about. Seems like I'm behind in my reading. Bummer.
Melinda. How did you like Fledgling by Octavia Butler? Have you read other books by her?
I've read Fledgling - it wasn't an easy read, pushed me out of my comfort zone. Yet, I found it rather and surprisingly profound (in an odd way). It's not a typical vampire flick, more like a Sci-fi/anthropology hybrid...
Kasia: I was trying to appreciate the artistic bend to the characters but this was before I was comfortable reading about vampires and whatnot. So I liked it based on Octavia's unique viewpoint of her vampire world.
I liked Fledgling. {In fact, I think it would have made a nice series ;p - I do love books in a series} It was really hard for me personally to get past the body of a ten-year-old thing. I know that she was technically 50, but the sexual situations freaked me out. Other than that I appreciated it and liked the story.
"Trying to appreciate" and succeeding? Or just trying?
Kasia: I finished the book. I went on to read more of her work. I'd say success =) I guess I meant trying to in a sense of before I got used to the scenarios I have read in the vampire novels I have read now. Quite a shock but never-the-less entertaining and made me think.Melinda: This would have been an exhausting series. This was a heavy book, true? I was used to thriller lite and some horror. Like Dean Koontz. LOL.
Kenjii: No, the subject matter wasn't lite, but I had a ton of questions by the time I was done. I really wanted to find out what would happen when they moved out on their own and formed their own little family/community. I definitely wanted to know more about the vampire politics that we only got a glimpse of during that trial. I'm so demanding of my books, wanting to know every little thing ;)
Melinda: That is understandable. Fanfic is a good way to resolve those unanswered questions. Or in my case change a crappy ending to an otherwise perfectly good movie. There wouldn't be a perfect way of doing a sequel. Perhaps beginning a story with the vampiric laws Butler set in place and adding your own? If not writing it down, creating a what if. I had high hopes of hearing more from Octavia Butler. I was shocked to hear she had died.
