The hypocrisy and chauvinistic way of how sexual relationships are portrayed.
So to me, this shows lack of imagination in finding out a better solution without having such a message that could be easily, very badly misunderstood by teenage in a young adult series. Really? Where those really necessary? I just think that there might have been other ways to achieve the same objective without having a father beating his son for his and the greater good. I find all this tremendously wrong and discriminating. To make this even better, Kara's own parents, who should be the ones to protect her over anything in the world in my book, agree with that and chose Elena's life over their own daughter's. So basically it was ok for her to die because it was more important for Elena to live. In the end it is sold that her purpose of existing was so that Elena could live. I even think I am kind of morally opposed to many things that go on in these books, the way they are explained and exposed. The worst thing is, there are not only similarities with Harry Potter, but also with other YA books, an example would be the game with the flag that is a rip off from Divergent. Harry Potter is epic from the first page to the last, this series has a general feeling of lameness to me.
It is full of ideas from Harry Potter and not in a good way. The whole series in general ends up being unoriginal. Honestly, at this point I wonder if the writer knows what a healthy relationship is, and I am not referring exclusively to the romantic ones.
Blake, on the other hand, acts like a pushover the whole book and lets Elena get away with everything, arg! I disliked almost every single though that came out of her. Elena is even more unbearable than in previos books, which is saying a lot. The whole book was basically stupid teenage drama, but with grown up characters now. To me, the whole thing, the war, the drama, the plot, the romance, the friendships, all are senseless. This book is tedious, full of cliché, tackiness and unnecessary drama. Now, I wish I have never wasted my time reading this series in the first place. I forced myself to finish this book so I would complete the whole series.
