Mediator: Twilight

Reader reviewed by Georgie

I fell in love with the Mediator Series when it was under Jenny Carrol, not that I don't love Meg Cabot, at the time I was reading every princess diary book popped out at Meg Cabot factory. I have to say that I'm disappointed in this one. Before you gasp and think me insane, I have my reasons. I mean, I can't stress how enthralled I was with the original series (Pre-Haunted). This Final book was just--eh. I felt that the story was crammed into this last one, just to end it. Paul's character seemed changed. When did Suze get her driver's license? Body snatching through time? They just seemed out of nowehere.

Yes, Ms. Cabot is the only one to know the characters she's created, but shouldn't we, the readers, know them as well as her? She conveyed them in such a way for us to understand them for four books, then change them in the last two? -- just to fit the ending? I think not.

She had led us to this moment in the previous books, and I for one am disappointed.

To me, Ms. Cabot changed their characters to end it as soon as she could, which, in the end, she did. But did she do it in a way that lived up to the rest of the series?

In my opinion: no.
