Revealed: Review

Synopsis:

The spellbinding eleventh and penultimate installment in the #1 New York Times bestselling vampyre series

Drastically altered after her fall at the end of Hidden, Neferet is now more dangerous than ever—and her quest for vengeance will wreak havoc on humans, as well as Zoey and her friends. Chaos is loosed in Tulsa and the House of Night is blamed. Can Zoey stop Neferet in time to keep her anger from escalating to full-on war? Or will someone else have to step in to take the fall?

The House of Night series is an international phenomenon, reaching #1 on U.S., German, and UK bestseller lists, and remaining a fixture on The New York Times Children’s Series bestseller list for nearly 150 weeks and counting. With more than 12 million copies in print, rights sold in thirty–eight countries to date, and relatable, addictive characters, this series is unstoppable. Now, in the eleventh and penultimate installment of the series, the action is more intense and the stakes even higher as Zoey and her friends battle to protect their school and home from devastating evil—all while balancing romances, precarious friendships and the daily drama of the House of Night's halls.

I still have so many problems with this book. Of course I'm not going to talk about all of them because that will be a long list. But this is nicer than I expected. Still don't like it, but at least I don't hate the book in the guts and bored to tears. Finally there's something real going on in this book and not as much shitty drama and frustration and facepalming as Hidden. Maybe being the second last book helps. 

Yeah, second last, while this is the 11th book of the series. For the millionth time this series is way too long for its own good. A series is not supposed to be more than 8 books. Hell, and 8-book series will be very long, but 12? Are you testing my patience? I have lost any interest in the teenage drama and just want it to get to the end and see how Tsi Sgili fall. I want to read Redeemed right now, but not because the book is so very good that I can't wait for the final installment. I just want it to end so badly.

The worst part is always the teenage drama throughout the books that frustrates me to no end. Although there isn't as much as in Hidden, which is a relief, there's still a lot. Honestly, I don't need to read those dramas to understand the whole story line because it's just predictable like that. The harsh way to say it is that those dramas are just wasting papers. So please, more real stuff in Redeemed, I beg you. I'm about to lose faith on vampires (except Blood of Eden) and this series certainly don't want to be responsible for that. 

There are so many not-so-good stuff that is present but I don't have time to talk about now. What I can only say is: Please, just freaking end it.

Rating: 4.5/10
