Now come on, if you stick to reading it out of principle it sorta turns into X-Men and that's ok with me.
When I watched the movie, I turned every line spoken by a vampire into a pickup line and it became fun again, but you shouldn't have to play games like that with your literature. Or cinema.
The whole "imprinting on a baby" thing I heard about, that really skeezed me out
But that baby is named with a portmanteau of the grandma names! It's so carefully thought out! /s
it's very illustrative of the culture the author comes from.
I worked at borders when the last book in the 4 part series came out. Manager told me to read it. So I speed read the first two
The only part I liked was the use of blank chapters to represent the passage of time during depression
The rest was so dullllll
I don't know if xmen in the 4th book would have saved me
