I finished the 4th Vampire Diary this morning. I started the 5th one about an hour ago. So far, I don't like it. The first three volumes were meant to be a trilogy and those feel like one complete book; not a great book, but something with a beginning, middle and end. The fourth volume followed shortly after those, and while there was continuity problem, it definitely felt like a continuation of the previous novels - like an extended epilogue. I forgave the continuity flub then, because it was something that could be explained away (though it wasn't explained in the novel) and I enjoyed reading about the characters again. That book felt slightly different than the previous 3, but it was set 6 months after those books so a shift in feeling seemed natural. The new book, is set 7 days after the previous one, and already there are major continuity problems. Characters are referencing things that never happened, or that don't make sense. Characters are acting extremely different than they did and it doesn't make any sense. It's annoying me.

I'm gonna eat. And possible play 'Unholy War' for Playstation. It's kind of like Wizard's Chess in that there is a grid that you move your characters across and then when 2 sides meet you fight. I've enjoyed it over the years. And the sides aren't the same. There are Technos; machine type invaders. And there are...um...I don't remember the name of the natural species characters. But you can play the computer or another player - and the hard setting on the computer is really frakking hard. lol
