Before anything, I'd like to say that even though this blog is written in English, I recommend you to do as I did and read the books I criticise in their original language (if you can). This way you'll like them much more and you'll find astute word games and double meanings which will help you read the book in all of its potential.

The Immortals - Alyson Noël

Criticism
This series, by Alyson Noël, is a collection for girls; and I think that it is not written for adults.
It is good and is another one written in the style of the Mortal Instruments saga and the Twilight one, but I liked it less than the ones I've just mentioned. The author has evidently read them and decided to write a similar novel; and the idea is very good but the style in which it is written doesn't completely convince me.
It is the perfect example of an attempt to write a bestseller, with all of its components but nothing new to contribute to literature or even the reader.
