Alice would have been an incredible MC, and it would have changed the story dramatically. But I think of something Leigh Bardugo has said... that she wasn't able as a writer to create something like Six of Crows on her first go writing. She had to work up to it. I think that Meyer is capable of writing a complex, Alice-driven saga NOW, but at the beginning of her career, all she could handle was probably Bella's POV.Ellennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297348781647351823.post-42485729931713813712016-08-09T05:27:34.000-07:002016-08-09T05:27:34.000-07:00I'm pretty sure I get -5 points here, because ...I'm pretty sure I get -5 points here, because Froi of the Exiles is my favorite book of the series, totally because of Froi!

Knowledge is synonymous with getting closer to God. So the person who gives you knowledge is teaching you about God (if that makes sense). So we look at them in a priest-ish manner. I still get uncomfortable when I hear of relationships occurring between professors and grad-students (even though both are adults and the relationship is consensual). Just the idea of any teacher/student relationship makes me incredibly uncomfortable. And I just couldn't get over that for Dmitri and Rose.Sierra @ Quest Reviewshttp://www.questreviews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297348781647351823.post-47429196353363981452016-08-09T15:39:44.000-07:002016-08-09T15:39:44.000-07:00I hope you get to read some of these books!
