Review: Rapture by Lauren Kate


To be fair, I have a lot going on in my own life right now so I didn't really get into a good rhythm on this one. Which is a shame because I absolutely love this series.

But I completely saw coming Luce's role and her...lets just call it 'history' so as to not spoil things.

And I feel like this book was just really about Luce. Daniel played a minor support role in this book, which was disappointing since the reason I love this series is the dynamic between the two of them. I mean, don't get me wrong, there is plenty of good relationship stuff here but it got a little dare I say...boring.

Okay, perhaps boring is too strong a word. I loved that Luce & Daniel's relationship had matured. I really did. But I'm beginning to think that in order for a series to really stand the test right to the last installment, the couple needs to be constantly facing challenges that threaten the very existence of their relationship.

So maybe the complete erasing of all time would actually have done that. But whatever it was, and I just can't put my finger on it, I was just a bit 'meh' about Rapture.

I think Ms. Kate could write a whole other book on Cam. He is far more intriguing and I'm sure there was at least one or two lifetimes where he and Luce were more than friends (present lifetime not included).

Interlude

So, yeah I haven't really been blogging as of late. I've had a lot on my plate and had some rather time-consuming (in a totally good way) developments going on.

However, I was encouraged to get back on the horse so to speak. So here I am, writing a little interlude and trying my best to remember how to link from goodreads to this blog!

I'm sure it will all come back to me :)
