Divergent finally arrived at the library (apparently it was delayed for so long because teenagers). I started reading it, and I have no doubt it's readable, but I had to stop because I just can't take it seriously. I suppose it's my own fault because, at this point in time, I've seen a lot of parodies of the dystopian YA stuff and...it seems a lot of the parody material came from here (or very, very similar).
So, I am sorry, but I don't think I'm going to be reading it any time soon.

I am really enjoying Lightning Returns! I think it's really fun, and I don't feel pressured playing it.
I am failing really badly doing Snow's boss fight. I've tried it twice now and, while I did better the second time, I could really do to have more/better fire spells, and I don't know where to find them (a walkthrough I looked at said about using Firestrike, but I haven't picked it up anywhere). I'm pleased to note that, if you warp out of Yusnaan, you can actually get back into the palace easily. (I'm still having a bit of trouble with some of the enemies. Oh, and Snow is on his first upgrade now, which means he has more HP. If he were on his original version, I'd possibly have less problems fighting. But it took me forever to get to fight Noel because bloody hell I didn't know you needed a macguffin, didn't know where to find and then UGH FUCK AREAS THAT ARE ONLY ACCESSIBLE AT CERTAIN TIMES OF DAY).
(Yup, walkthrough confirms his un-upgraded HP is only 400,000 - which essentially means I could've beaten him on either time I'd tried, if I'd managed to get there sooner *shakes tiny fists of rage*)
I will do better at this on the second pass, though! (Hopefully I'll manage to beat it then, but I guess we'll see!)
Also the music is amazing! Some of it is more like a film score than a game score (and not that I have a problem with this; I like it, and it makes a refreshing change). I also like the music in the towns alters with the time of day (my favourite at the moment is Reverent Souls, which is the night time music for Luxerion. I don't know the night time music for Yusnaan, even though I've spent equally as long at night there, because most my time there was in the palace, where different music plays *rolls eyes*). Some of the soundtrack reminds me of FFX's soundtrack, but they share a composer in common, so I shouldn't be so surprised? I don't know.
(also honestly: composition goals are some of the tracks. I love instrumentals with lots of texture and gaaaaah. ONE DAY! ONE DAY!)
