![]() ![]() Unfortunately, I felt like sometimes stereotypes were overused concerning these characters, or that the characters shamed people who did fit the stereotypes. I did like how the characters came from different backgrounds and had diverse identities. These characters reminded me more of preteens than of actual teenagers. This wasn't really the case, and her friends at the House of Night were also shallow, judgemental, and even immature at times. You'd think that after dealing with her own issues, including her unique mark, she might take a step back when it comes to making generalizations or assumptions about others. ![]() Zoey, the main character, is surprisingly shallow and judgemental, in my opinion. I read it a few years ago, and I had enjoyed it quite a bit during my first reading, but this time I saw things a bit differently. I recently found this book at a thrift store and decided to pick it up and give it a re-read. In order to take down Aphrodite, the shallow, selfish leader of the Dark Daughters, she'll need to use her goddess-given gifts. With her unique Mark and an invitation to join the Dark Daughters, Zoey looks to her grandmother and the goddess, Nyx, for guidance. There, she quickly makes friends, but also makes enemies. That is, until she is Marked to become a vampyre, and moves into the House of Night, a school and home for Fledgling vampyres. Zoey is a normal teenage girl dealing with family issues, school, and her (almost) ex-boyfriend. ![]()
