Why oh why does every single story in the entire world have to have a romance? And why is the girl always the most beautiful in the history of whatever planet they're on? I wish the hero could occasionally not get the girl. Or, heaven forBID, get a girl who's not good looking. How about a couple with a hot guy and an ugly girl? Or a forty-year-old woman and a twenty-year old boy? And in fantasy books, how about writing a female character who's fucking realistic?! Nooo, every one of them has to be the next Xena. Gorram supervixens. I hate fantasy authors. There is only one book that I have read in years which has people falling in love in a believable way, and that's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Yes, you heard me. People who actually have known each other for more than a few days, and usually they're the LAST people to know they're in love. I'm thinking mainly about the Harry/Ginny stuff, and if I just ruined that for you, you should be ashamed of yourself for not having read that book yet. It's a good book. Read it.
