Stargazer is the second
installment of the Evernight series which follows the fatal
attraction love story of Bianca and Lucas . In this installment
Bianca follows Lucas back to his Black Cross hide-away in an attempt
to be with him while mean while ghosts are appearing at Evernight
Academy with little to no explanation. Will Bianca be discovered by
Black Cross? What's the reason for all of the ghosts suddenly showing
up at Black Cross? And most importantly will Bianca and Lucas finally
be together like they had always planned in this new adventure?
These are the questions that I and a lot of you might have been
asking yourself as this exciting and romantic tail plays out and just
like the good writer Grey is she dose her best to answer these
questions and many more without giving away too much of the next
installment.
Okay there's Grey's praise
now here come the slams. Sorry this would not be an honest review
without them. I do like the appearance of unbreakable love that
Grey portrays between Lucas and Bianca but at some point I just
started saying come on let's be real here. These two are from two
different worlds , heading for two different futures and completely
has no hope of being together. When Grey started making something
happen with Balthazar and Bianca I was kind of thinking yes! Finally!
Bianca is moving on from Lucas and hooking up with someone more in
her world, more her type, someone she has a snow ball's chance in
hell of being with.
But huh this is a YA novel
after all and it would be if everything was as simple as finding a
guy that no body has a problem with you being with, a guy that
understands what you are going through more than anyone else , a guy
that is one hundred percent perfect for you and just taking him and
being happy. No this is YA and YA should stand for not at easy.
Bianca loves Lucas so much that she is willing to run away with him
and right into the arms of black cross. I was thinking come on once
again does the girl main character in every YA novel have to be the
one to sacrifice everything for true love?!
Especially after the guy
Lucas would not change into a vampire and sacrifice everything for
her. Really?! No really? There is a point where Bianca straight up
ask him to go through the change and he looks her right in the face
and says “no don't ever ask me to that for you ever” So not that
people should take their values from a book. Please people do not
take your values from any fictional story! Please! But I couldn't
help but wonder what a real impressionable little girl would think
about the way Lucas was so unwilling to give up anything for Bianca
but at a moment's notice Bianca was so willing to run away from home
and her vampire nature for him. Hmm sorry Grey not liking that at
all.
The characters in this book
were just as lively as I remembered them to be . I would have to say
that I did enjoy the side characters this time around as I think I
did in the last installment. Besides the obvious hints of sexism in
the story I did enjoy the plot very much. As for the cover art it was
…..well nice. It wasn't breath taking but it was somewhat of an eye
pleas-er to say the least. The scenery or settings of this book were
really good as per my personal rating system I would give it a five
out of 10 stars. And the overall book experience I would give a 7
out of 10 stars. And yes I will and have already started reading the
next installment.
Um....I wish I had more to
say about this book not for the lack of words but for the lack of
remembering what I truly wanted to say …. just a word to the wise
when you finish reading a book you should immediately start reviewing
or I promise you that you will forget what cool and clever things you
really wanted to say about it lol. Anyway babbling on here ...the
point is besides a few minor annoyances I did enjoy this book and the
this series and look forward to what comes next.
