First there are nightmares. Every night Ellie is haunted by terrifying dreams of monstrous creatures that are hunting her, killing her. Then come the memories. When Ellie meets Will, she feels on the verge of remembering something just beyond her grasp. His attention is intense and romantic, and Ellie feels like her soul has known him for centuries. On her seventeenth birthday, on a dark street at midnight, Will awakens Ellie's power, and she knows that she can fight the creatures that stalk her in the grim darkness. Only Will holds the key to Ellie's memories, whole lifetimes of them, and when she looks at him, she can no longer pretend anything was just a dream. Now she must hunt. Ellie has power that no one can match, and her role is to hunt and kill the reapers that prey on human souls. But in order to survive the dangerous and ancient battle of the angels and the Fallen, she must also hunt for the secrets of her past lives and truths that may be too frightening to remember.
I’ve decided that I’m not going to continue Angelfire. I’m really annoyed by the main character and because of that I am having trouble picking it up. I’m kind of sad about it, because I really liked the concept, but unfortunately I don’t feel that it is worth it. There are soooo many books I still want to read, I rather spent my time reading something I do like.
I find Ellie just a rich, spoiled brat who is not worth the title she received. When you are THE ONE who is destined to save the world, the ONLY ONE who can save the world, I do think you should change your priorities. Like putting saving the world in front of the line, instead of movie night with friends.
And not only the lack of responsibilities is fatal for Ellie, but her continuing whining is also not very attractive. Poor little rich girl.. blegh. Though it is in some ways more realistic, look at the average teenager nowadays and you will find a lot of Ellies in there. Some girls will start complaining and bitch about how this will ruin her social life of w/e, but you just have to suck it up ! Hell, if I would find out I was some ancient warrior chick, with a handsome sidekick, I would be in awe !! How cool is that, that there is more than just this simple boring life ? Awesoooome !
So I’m sorry, but well.. many books, little time ! Bye bye Ellie ^^
