*nodnod* :/ It's weird, right? She usually seems so...on top of myths. Then again, ever since she got back to writing she's seemed to be...not as good. >_<
Yeah, she's obviously still got the talent but the skill has gotten very rusty. Hasn't she been out of the writing loop for something like 10 years? I was so disappointed in Nightfall and Shadow Souls. It's like, one moment Damon and Elena are talking, the next they're going into a cave, and I'm going 0_0 Wtf did I just miss? Where did the
cave come from? You know?
And... I dunno. She was focussed too much on the dresses the girls were wearing when Damon snuck them into that vampire world, it's like, I'd rather know what's going to happen next than yawn my way through reading yet another description of yet another eccentric dress. We know the dresses are awesome. Point made. Don't hamper on it. Geeze! She didn't even go into such fine detail about Julian's clothes - and he's THE most eccentric of all her characters combined!
And I won't even go into the whole mixup with Damon accidentally getting Stefan's gift from that Kitsune (whom I might like to add reminded me of the Julian version of a Kitsune...but anything that has the descriptions of white or blue reminds me of him *patheticfangirl*). That was sooo...fanfictionish. True the idea has never been done before, but I recon it hasn't been done
for a reason.
I thought she butchered Damon's character more than the CW series has because of that 'twist' she threw in.
Anyway. So it is possible that she got the details of the Kitsune mixed up.
