The Forbidden Game
I've always had some sort of ... opinion on L. J. Smith, that she could not write well, as I had read the Vampire Diaries and thought it was poorly written, however I have accepted that she can indeed write well. The book is fast progressing in a way that provides enough detail for the imagination to go wild. The storyline is also impressive. It would hold more tension and unpredictable twists, but the storyline is unique and fun in that way.
The characters are well portrayed and makes the typical teenage girl excited and gripping her seat for the next move of each person. The rules of magic and the setting of the characters are clear and concise, making the understanding of the situations easy. Although I think some circumstances were a little far fetched, it was well written enough to pull it off without too much trouble.
The ending was terrible for me, as I much preferred the character who ultimately lost the battle of love with the main female character. However, if I am not mistaken, I believe a sequel was due to be released, following the continuity of my favourite character, therefore I would recommend this book of L. J. Smith, but none of her other ones.
Instead of Cassandra Clare's books where I needed to concentrate, this book was more relaxing and fun than anything else. It was not a book to be judged on skill or technicalities, but of plot progression. Simply to know what happens next.
My Overall Rate: 3/5
