So, what is it about this particular YA trilogy that makes it special? You can read the synopsis of the series somewhere else and I’m not even going to bother focusing on plot here, although it certainly is a good one. When Borders is potentially going to file for bankruptcy, you know the industry is in trouble. It just seems like all my favorite adult urban fantasy authors are doing these YA series now, probably because the money in the publishing industry is all in YA books right now. I’ve read at least a half dozen times.ĭespite that, I was wary of reading Armstrong’s YA trilogy, even though it’s been out since 2009. The writing is so…flawlessly executed! Maybe I’m just not at the level yet where I can see the flaws, but the action, plot, characterization, pacing, romance, and just about everything makes it one of my favorite novels. I like her other characters and novels, but I still like Elena and Clay most, and especially from Bitten. I’ve always really admired Armstrong’s writing ever since I read Bitten for the first time. I just finished Armstrong’s The Darkest Powers trilogy, in which the ugly guy gets the girl, courage is expressed in actions rather than words, and liking someone – even at age 15 – is about far more than simple attraction.
