Quirky Musings

(but mostly stupid ones)

The Vanguard - T.A. Chase Rating: not quite three stars


This was quite good. I liked it.

Well, it was okay. I think generally, the only thing that was left with me after I finished the book, was that I was unimpressed. Not disappointed, but just it wasn't that great of a book.

Aaandd... that's all for my review.

Well okay, maybe not. That's all that's substantial review material. You see, I have this itty bitty problem.

Wasis.

According to the glossary in the back (I never bothered trying to find it while I was reading) it's a Launioc swear word which is equivalent to shit.

As much as I appreciate Ms Chase making a whole new swear word to fit in with a whole new world (and I do appreciate it), it kind of pissed me off...

Okay, I do appreciate it. But seriously, imagine this. Two characters you kindaa like are getting it on and then suddenly, they're about to come, and then.. and then.. "WASIS!"

It's kind of a wtf moment.

It ruins the rhythm. Wasis doesn't sound very swear word-y, and frankly is quite un-hot.

I know this is kind of stupid and irrelevant to mention in a review. But FUCK! Don't ruin my sex.

Oh, and I mentioned this before, but the characters aren't that loveable, but you like them.

(and here ends my babbling review)
