I remember listening to this book back when it first came out which was a few years back and I enjoyed it, but I had really forgotten a lot of it. Then I watched the TV show and a new obsession began and I wanted to read it again! So I dragged my buddy reader along with me...lol. So check out Barbs review once you look at mine. :)

The complexity of the world and beautiful, rich writing give this 5 star appeal, but the plot lost major momentum in the last third of the book and I nearly didn't finish it. Glad I did, and am looking forward to the next book.

This rating is really a 4.5 star rating, and I really wanted to go five, but the ending just bugged me! I am really glad that I waited to read this one until the second book was out because I hate cliffhanger endings!

I really liked this book, but I didn't realize it was a trilogy..now I can't wait for the next book! UGH. Books like this are why I like to read the series after it's completed - I want to read them all back to back. I didn't want this book to end.
If you enjoyed Twilight you will probably enjoy this book! ...more

I was dismayed there was no ending. This really is the first third of the story. Standing alone it feels incomplete.

I thought it was a little bit sappy. And found parts of it to be very boring. It was fine, seems like lots of people really like it. Just not quite right for me.
