What Members Thought

It took me 3 attempts to start this book over a period of time and I just couldn’t get into it. This time, I did become interested until the competition started in earnest and I quickly became quite bored and remained that way until the end. For me, it wasn’t about how it was written or implausible plot lines; it was just not what the ‘reading me’ had much interest in. Very Lord of the Flies-esque.

3.5?? 4?? Maybe?? I can't decide on this one.

Probably closer to a 4.5 but the second half of the book was so incredible I can't bring myself to give this only a 4. The first half dragged a bit and bordered on the nonsensical, even for a fantasy book, but the second half blew me away. It became so intense, so raw, and oh so thrilling. I absolutely devoured the rest of the book.
I've got so many other books I need to finish but I need to read the second book in this series asap so library due dates be bloodydamned! ...more
