Overdone themes?

Fine lines all over the place.

Actually, who knows what the manuscripts looked like before the editors worked their magic!

Michelle you should really read the BDB series.

J.R. Ward writes it in 3rd person unlimited/omniscient I believe.

I've always been crappy with POV definitions. lol

I think you'd enjoy the way it's written. You get mmultiple characters POV's.

READ IT!

BDB is actually third person, subjective and limited. It's just told through multiple persons. :)

Aha! Thank you new user! I'm always lost when it comes to defining POV's. No idea why.

The similarity in main characters. In both UF and PNR the main character is often a white heterosexual female in her 20's or 30's. And if religion is mentioned she's most likely a Christian. Now i know this isn't all that strange because the target audience probably falls in this category, but it would be nice if there were more books in which the character had a somewhat different background.

I'm happy that there are more men writing UF, which has resulted in books with male protagonists. In British UF there are more often main characters who are atheist/agnostic, likely a reflection of the difference in culture. There are still very few books in which the main character isn't heterosexual, which is a bit of a pity i think.

A problem i have with PNR (aside from the sexuality of the characters) is the alpha male. There's nothing wrong with alpha males, but abit of variety now and then won't hurt, so let's bring in the beta males.

I would also like it if the fantasy aspects in the UF/PNR were based on for instance Asian mythology. Most of the time the mythology is European/Western.
