Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Yeah, I am not liking this book so much. I really enjoyed the first three in this series and the beginning of this book was good but it seems to be losing steam.

I find in all series', especially longer ones, there are just those books you have to push through like it or not. Just know you are not alone, lol!

I love these books. But I secretly love anything where people compete to be a princess or find out they are a princess.

message 491: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Yay! I finished The Iron Knight (Iron Fey, #4) by Julie Kagawa . Thank you to everyone who sprinted with me and helped me finish! I read the last 30 pages but if we are being honest about half of them were not story, just the stuff at the end of the book. Sadly I cannot join in the next sprint, I must go mow my lawn. I will be back later for others!

It looks like a good series. Sounds like it might be a bit scary...

I like the series a lot. It's not too scary but there are creepy elements to it.

Jordan (jords) | 415 comments what time zone are you in so I can figure out what time I'll need to start but that will be fine


message 499: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I'm off to do yard work. Good luck with your books!


message 500: by Becky (new)

Becky (booklovingcoffeeaddict) | 4889 comments No more sprints for me today. :-( Time to drive an hour for my son to play basketball games. I'll be reading but not on the computer.

Have a great night everyone!
