Found it through the Twilight review, and I'm really happy there are some smart people looking critically at a book so popular. But on to this book! It sounds like a fun series. I imagine that writing fight scenes in books is really hard to do well. Like you said, there has to be a happy medium. I remember when I was younger and reading harry potter I'd have to read fight scenes 2 or 3 times before I could get a grasp on what was happening. Bad J.K.! It's sad that there's an excess of fights and villains, I guess this is what happens when books have to compete over TV and video games? I just have to say that I just found this blog and I love it!
