I've read both series. And I agree with Stephanie. The last book of the Twilight series really set my teeth on edge. Whereas the Study series kept me hooked up to and past the last words.
I had a hard time voting because if not for my Twilight addiction, I would never have found Poison Study! Well, maybe not never, but the obsession and the need for a relief from waiting for Book 4 brought me to it. Also I appreciated Study more after having read Twilight, where Bella is reacts a very opposite way to damage than Yelena does. While I found Bella's blank pages touching in
New Moon
, Yelena would have bit down, got back to work, and pushed away the sorry-for-myself feelings. I guess what I'm saying is, Yelena all the way!

I'm stupidly addicted to both series, of course, but as a story, Twilight had me hooked a little more, but in terms of characters, I definitely have to go with Study.



The Study series however, except for a few moments of wanting to slap Yelena for not seeing the obvious and mistreating her associates, overall dealt much better with the shifting dynamic of the world's rules. Some things were absolutes, but the things that did change (the Commander's attitude shift towards magic, the Council's ruminations on Yelena...) at least had groundwork that upon re-reading marks it clearly.
I don't know, Lexie! I thought Meyer kept to her world mythology all too well and that's what pissed people off...


I could do without as far as Twilight is concerned. It's great if you like it, but I just read the first and had no desire to read on. However I thought Meyer's The Host was a lot better than Twilight and a very interesting premise.
