HOWEVER

Jack: you were just crying about dragons

Taylor: are you calling me fat?

My main complaint with TFS, other than the entirety of the POV system, were the supernatural “occurances” ...

MICHAEL AND ZARA WERE TOO OP.

point blank, they were WAY too powerful.

I don’t know if RPE always had Zara’s character in his back pocket and was waiting for this precise moment to unveil her, but she was awful— ruined the entire legacy of the Electroclan and the Resistence. The fact that she can absorb and re-create ANY glow’s powers is too OP. Plus, it doesn’t make sense that Hatch would keep her hidden until the very end. We know Hatch— he’s maniacal, but he’s not stupid. Why didn’t he use Zara from the very beginning at the Academy in TPOC or any time since then? Wouldn’t she have been the more beneficial? Just like Michael always remembered, “it’s better to crush the python egg”. Why didn’t Hatch destroy the Electroclan and the Resistence before it nearly destroyed him? I know it was meant to be a plot-twist and major climax of the entire series, but her entire character made me shake my head. Petition to cancel Zara from the series lol.

and Michael.... don’t get me started on Michael in TFS. First of all, we deserved to have his POV. And dare I say it, he shouldn’t have “died” at all. It was a really great cliffhanger for FOH, but made for an insufferable TFS. While I did enjoy seeing more characterization and moments from Ostin and Jack, plus the rest of the Electroclan, it was like reading a companion book to the original series, not the finale of one. (and not to mention, it felt the focus of TFS wasn’t even on the Electroclan, it was based on another set of characters 🙁). If I wanted a different POV of the Michael Vey series, I would have gone on Wattpad...but more than that, I was annoyed, yet again, that Michael was OP in TFS. He came back as lightning???? Apparently he’s pure electricity now???? He can teleport as a glowing orb of electricity????😭😭 That doesn’t make any sense at all. I’m all for him being the most powerful glow, but this was taking it too far.

I will admit, the reunion of Michael and the Electroclan in the final chapter was amazing, but the circumstances surrounding the aforementioned reunion was bullcrap.

i don’t like reading about Hatch’s glows. i just don’t care for their plot and their characterizations.

it’s hard for me to read the chapters set in their POV because of how insufferable i find most of them.

MV= Michael Vey

TPOC = The Prisoner of Cell 25

ROTE = Rise of the Elgen

BOTA = Battle of the Ampere

HFJD = Hunt for Jade Dragon

SOL = Storm of Lightning

FOH = Fall of Hades

TFS = The Final Spark

RPE = Richard Paul Evans

anyways, thought this might be a useful tidbit of information for anyone cruising my blog and was confused about the abbreviations i use.

you know what is absolutely HILARIOUS about this ask... i’ve literally thought this exact thing.

my sister and i really love the MCU (specifically the Spider-man’s) and one day i SPRINTED to her room because i had an epiphany.

i realized how eerily SIMIALR Peter Parker is to Michael Vey and their stories.

both have special powers/abilities

social outcast of their schools

both have a nerdy, chubby best friend

get a girlfriend (granted, Taylor is polar opposite to MJ)

have familial issues

both awkward and shy (so cute tho)

and overall their character and morals are almost exactly the same.

anyways, this is something i thought of the other day and i find it really funny you had the same thought as me!

michael plays with taylor’s hair when he’s stressed... and taylor loves that he does it absentmindedly

whenever michael and taylor leave the group to have alone time (if you know what i mean), ian always grimaces when he sees something he doesn’t want to see, therefore alerting the rest of the group— they often erupt into yells when ian reacts because then everyone is grossed out.

at breakfast, michael always saves blueberries for taylor

taylor traces michael’s lichtenberg figures on his arms

forehead kisses are michael’s speciality

ostin: it’d look even better on michael’s floor, though

*michael turns to ostin*

jack: but isn’t there an I?
