Bailey’s comments from the Addicted to YA group.

I am still on hold for this one, but I have read very mixed reviews. I am getting kind of nervous about reading it because I love the series and I don't want this book to ruin it.

I don't know if you like audiobooks, but it might be helpful since the narrator automatically changes voices for the different characters, so you don't have to remember all of the details, just their voices. That usually helps me when starting a fantasy series. It allows me to focus on the other details more.

I really do need to reread this so I can read the next one with it fresh on my mind!

That's too bad that this one fell short of her other work! Thanks for the recommendations!

Hahaha, if you don't finish it by the end of the month, you can still join in the discussion, it will just be in the series section under discussions.

Good to know! Thank you!!!

Did anyone actually read this book? I haven't read it and I am not sure if I want to. There have been a lot of books kind of similar to this one lately, and I am not sure I want to read another one, haha.

I just finished the second one, and I won't give any spoilers, but it was good!

YAY!!!!!!!!

I would love to, but I want to be honest. I have three, maybe four others that I need to read first, so if that's okay, I would love a copy! Congratulations!

Ahh, I love Scythe, so I am going to have to read this one! Thanks for the link for a free book, and congratulations on writing a book!

Yeah, I have noticed that as well. The other day, the #1 reader in US had "read" over 1000 books that week. Seems a bit more than a little suspicious, hahahaha.

We have already read that, but it is a great book!

Lost wrote: "Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange ?"

That looks like a great book, but it is listed as Adult, not YA. Sorry!!!!

No, it's just written as it would be if it were written today!

I don't see where this is a part of a series. I also couldn't find the genre, do you have more information on it? Thanks!

Unfortunately, it is only available in print instead of multiple formats. It looks good, though!
