What's up with the name Daemon really? Hot, bad guys with 'trouble' stamped all over them, that's what. I'm actually referring to Damon of Vampire Diaries too, btw. When I read the first part I couldn't help thinking about The Vampire Diaries. Same Daemon-character, same place (Virginia, really that makes that place double creepy with all the myths/writings around it), and the aliens, Luxen i mean, have almost the same power, though way cooler, with the vampires. Obsidian, in some ways, was like a fan fiction of TVD for me, wasn't it? Though that didn't make me hurl the book, obviously more than most of the fan fictions made me do.
And yes, aliens that are god and goddess- looking? Insane right? We all have grown up in to thinking that aliens are green, slimy creatures with large head and slender extremities. But with this novel, the author made aliens look like magical creatures from other galaxies. That made me read this novel, it's originality. And I love that it didn't bore me by second. The book was a thrilling, fast-pace, page-turner that I simply couldn't resist (in fact, I've given up reviewing for a compre exam just to finished this lol). And even after I lay down the book, despite some flaws on the writing, my curiosity over the Luxens especially *ehem* Daemon hadn't fade.
This was the first novel that I've read that has alien protagonists in it and i couldn't help being fascinated by the idea when a friend recommended this. If I am younger, I would have gone mad, fan-girling about Daemon (though yes, I should admit he's one of the freaking hottest fiction guys I've read) and eventually would give this a rating of 5 stars but anyway, I will surely read the 2nd installment!
