Your opinion on the Serafina fandom?

Also- is Waysa doing ok?

You people seem fine, although I do not approve of the liberties you have taken with dissecting our lives.

Waysa is well.

AFTER NEARLY SEVEN YEARS OF ADORING THE SERAFINA SERIES I FINALLY FOUND OTHER FANS WHO ARE AS INSANE ABOUT IT AS ME

so anyway hell’s coming with me is so uriah coded—

Ah... the Serafina series...

Ight so in middle school I'd avidly read the books from this series that I could get my hands on (which were only two out of the four OG books: Black Cloak, which I owned, and Twisted Staff, which they had in the school library) (I read Black Cloak more since I had easy access to it) and gah DAMN these were my bread & butter back then after I grew out of the Spiderwick Chronicles (which I might make a post like this soon because I loved that series, or at least the original 5 books). I dunno I just like the kinda dreamy feel of these books I guess. After 8th grade, I wasn't as interested in these books anymore and I didn't bother get the other two (oh boy... the stuff I missed out on...) and shoved these books into the backseat of my mind. But then a few months ago, I remembered this series out of nowhere... and then realized how weird the series was (or at least the two books I actually read), and things only got weirder after I decided to look up the series & see what I missed out on...

Here's just some of the stuff I either randomly remembered from the books I read or found out via Google:

The first & second book keeps repeating the same line (something along the lines of "she was a creature of the night" or whatever), or at least a lot towards the beggining of Twisted Staff & a lot towards the end of Black Cloak. Like we get it bro this kid's the decendant of catamounts (or, as I'll be refering to them as, werecats, 'cause that's what they basically are). Like I wouldn't mind if this line was in the books once or twice but for me personally, it feels kind of excessive.

Changing Serafina's look after she turns into a big cat wasn't that nessisary, nor did Beatty have to choose a singular, specific big cat for Serafina's big cat form. Panthers can mate with mountain lions (and the same applies for other big cats and cats in general) Serafina should have just been able to turn into a panther/mountain lion(?) hybrid and could have kept her original human form traits because people can look more like one parent than they do the other. It's how genetics work.

SERAFINA FUCKING DIES IN SPLINTERED HEART?? AND COMES BACK TO LIFE? Girl's got some major plot armor. Dare I say kid's maybe even a Mary Sue (doesn't think people will like her for her two tone hair and junk, managed to beat up two grown ass men with magic powers, got her werecat powers even if we were told in the begining of Twisted Staff that Serafina couldn't transform, and has survived near death experiences and was brought back from the dead)

I'm probably forgetting some more stuff but damn... this series was weird. I feel like some stuff should have been handled better, tbh, specifically the stuff I just listed. I liked what they did with Serafina's abilities in the first book, with her having big cat-like abilities while in human form, and I feel like they should have built up upon that concept instead of just giving Serafina her big cat form when her mum specifically says it wouldn't be possible for her to transform. But damn... not even my nostalgia for this series can stop me from critisizing the series like this. Of course, I, a teen in high school, isn't quite the main demographic for the series, so I might be looking too far into this. Like for middle schoolers, I can see them enjoying the series for what it is (I should know 'cause I was one of them), but yeah looking back on these books, they were kinda weird. I liked them, and they're fun to look back at, but still weird.

I know they made some graphic novel adapations of the series (or at least one for Black Cloak) last year. If anyone reading this has read what's been released so far, how is it? I kinda wanna know :D

Might color it later on idk but here's Braeden Vanderbilt grieving while laying in the mud on top his girlfriends friends grave <3

I finished the Serafina series a few days ago. Interesting idea about Pleaides, and Halloween. Looks like I finished it just in time!

Gotta say book three had the best gut punch moments and thus is my favorite.

[nicoluvscats]

If i had a nickel for everytime i read a book with a ginger curly hair who has powers that can be seen like a green color i have two nickels.

Not as good as the first one but i like the background so its fine. I keep thinking her name Rachel but its Rowena
