...Right?! It doesn't make any realistic sense!<br /><br />I agree! Love as a conflict is all right if it actually tells the reader more about the character and how they think. Otherwise it's just a waste and a complete annoyance!<br /><br />Yes!! And she's the only one who can save 'their' world blah blah blah.

I reall...I completely agree with you on this Laura! I really hate insta love with a burning passion. I just don't understand how two people are meant to be after a couple hours of interaction. Love triangles, squares, you name it are so infuriating when done wrong! I hate how it can be used as a plot device instead of a way to deepen a character and show more depth to them. I know a love triangle is good when even I am conflicted, because normally I stick to one ship and keep on sailing. My least favorite cookie cutter storyline I keep seeing is the classic "girl doesn't think she's pretty but she's actually special and one of a kind and this bad boy introduced her to a world she's never seen before. Not only that, but she is the key answer to all the problems." Like, come on! This always happens in paranormal books and it makes me so frustrated! <br /><br />Great post Laura!<br /><br />Genni @ <a href="http://readysetandread.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Ready, Set, Read!</a>Gennifer Eccleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00649868338706328764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913730726494465142.post-33236356788431544472015-12-06T20:51:09.697-08:002015-12-06T20:51:09.697-08:00Haha it's all good :D
Right?! It's just ...Haha it's all good :D<br /><br />Right?! It's just so annoying! Especially when they have some dramatic scene where one saves the other and they immediately have this love confession afterward like 4 hours after they first met! Ughhhhhh.<br /><br />Ahhh Throne of Glass... yes that was such a great love triangle (or square is it now? Except some of the players were taken out of the equation...)! And of course ACOTAR - I'm convinced Rhysand is a part of a love triangle there :DLaura @BlueEyeBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12983345219563729728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913730726494465142.post-87829088682979486592015-12-06T16:15:30.877-08:002015-12-06T16:15:30.877-08:00Whoops, accidently published my comment when it wa...Whoops, accidently published my comment when it wasn't done haha ^^<br />I cannot stand instalove! *vomits* I mean, how can you fall in love with someone that quick? It's not possible, you don't even know the person. That's definitely not realistic and it's definitely not love, that's like infatuation. Love triangles I can't really stand either, unless it's Sarah J Maas writing them. :PCarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415250394540250816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913730726494465142.post-48468249344933813002015-12-05T21:11:21.069-08:002015-12-05T21:11:21.069-08:00Right?!

It's like they think cutting it off in the middle of a sequence creates suspense. And it does. But only sometimes if it's done right! Consistency is key :)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Laura @BlueEyeBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12983345219563729728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913730726494465142.post-32030663884253465602015-12-05T14:58:39.366-08:002015-12-05T14:58:39.366-08:00So you've never been torn between two love int...So you've never been torn between two love interests in a love triangle? I envy your decision making! I just can't make up my mind sometimes! I can agree with you on having other plot points though. I really don't like when the love triangle is the sole central focus. The Selection was only okay because it included other plot lines relating to the country. :DLaura @BlueEyeBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12983345219563729728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913730726494465142.post-4423504505836107142015-12-05T01:33:25.875-08:002015-12-05T01:33:25.875-08:00Agree with all your choices, especially number thr...Agree with all your choices, especially number three. I'm all for good description over rushed action any day.<br /><br />My absolute NoNo is when authors can't be bothered to end their books properly. I don't mind some threads left open, but hate it when it feels as though the publisher forgot to print a final chapter. The current trend for hawking a minimum-trilogy series is probably to blame, but if the first book just stops at some random cliffhanger I find it incredibly unsatisfying and I am unlikely to trust the author through anymore volumes unless the writing was spectacularly good. Who's to say that book two won't abruptly end with no resolution either? Or book six! How many might I have to shell out on?! <br /><br /><a href="http://stephjb.blogspot.co." rel="nofollow">Stephanie Jane</a>Stephanie Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071958445763105060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913730726494465142.post-58523102643070628862015-12-04T14:59:13.627-08:002015-12-04T14:59:13.627-08:00I don't like love triangles at all. I usually ...I don't like love triangles at all. I usually want the third wheel dead. I want other conflict in stories instead of a love triangle. I can handle anything else, lol.Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.com
