The second she sees the new guy, Stark, she goes jelloid. You'd think that maybe she wouldn't be interested in anyone at the moment. This book is set LITERALLY a couple of days after all the shit went down with her last three boyfriends. That's been explained at least twice in every single book. As well as the word 'u-we-tsi-a-ge-ya' followed up by the phrase 'the Cherokee work for 'daughter''. I am getting very tired of the word 'exotic' used to describe every single person who isn't white. Poor Jack is still just around to gush at everyone, but especially at Damien: 'You're so smart about movies! You know all of them.' Okay, these kids are supposedly studying some pretty hardcore literature, and their lack of knowledge makes me question the quality of their House of Night education.Īll of Zoey's friends continue to be walking quirks: Damien and his vocabulary and the Twins with their Twin-ness. Two of the 'big words' that Damien used that the Twins complained about: 'flummoxed' and 'nefarious'. Lose it.Įvery time Zoey does or says something remotely leader-like, she says something along the lines of 'Their looks of growing confidence made me think that I might, someday, become a halfway decent High Priestess'. Zoey's assumption that everyone she meets is going to take issue with vampyres or her gay friends is really getting old.

Not just events, but simple details about the vampyre lifestyle: If a reader hasn't figured out by page 134 that day and night are switched for the vampyres, it's sink or swim time. This book could have easily been a good hundred pages shorter if the authors had not felt the need to rehash the events of the previous three books over and over and over again.

There is a group of hip, cat-loving, judge-not-lest-ye-be-judged-type Benedictine nuns to represent nice Christians and counter-balance the fact that every single other Christian that has appeared in this series has been either a bigoted, possibly murderous freak, or completely subservient to said bigoted, possibly murderous freak. And there are an awful lot of ravens around. Oh, and that same evil High Priestess has declared a secret guerrilla war on the humans.

Spoilers about the first three books below.Īt the end of Chosen, fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird had no boyfriend (down from three - one dead, one definitely hating her and the third maybe possibly hating her), no friends (unless you count her ex-enemy Aphrodite and her undead ex-roommate Stevie Rae), and the school's High Priestess now knows that Zoey knows that she is a big fake and totally evil rather than loving and nurturing and wise.
