I totally missed this thread, and I was going to comment along with you guys! Oh, well!

My 2 cents (view spoiler)[ I was not bored at all, although I did think the end of the book was way better than the first part of the book. I never really trusted the Darkling, but I didn't think he was out and out evil. I liked Mal in the beginning, but at the same time, felt Alina's pain and that made me mad at him--sorry if that doesn't make sense. At first I was mad she didn't wear his colors, but after a few pages, I was kind of proud of her stubbornness lol. She wasn't the best MC I've ever read, but I loved her ability, and how it took her so long to master it. I love it when things don't come easily to our heroes of the story! By the end, I was okay with Mal and Alina, and was so happy she was able to save him. I truly thought he might have died! (hide spoiler)]

I was not bored at all, but I read the whole book in one sitting, so I guess I didn't have time to be bored, lol!

Ditto.

Now can we FINALLY read Siege and Storm? I have a road trip coming up, about 12 hours driving. Please? Please?

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I will be ready to read it on Friday, if everyone else is ready?

Lol I'm a maybe :) I REALLY liked the ending but I've heard from someone that they got bored again in the middle of the second one and I'm not sure I'm ready for that again. I just want the author to do what she did in the last 30% of the first book for an entire book. It was magical!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

We can test read it for you if you want, David! I know exactly what you mean!

I finished reading the second book. the beginning was amazing, kinda how it left off. but it was everything I could do to get myself thru the middle, I kept looking to see how much I had left to go. yesterday I forced myself to finish it wanting to move onto something else. the end was OK, not as strong as the end from the last book. I might read the third book, not entirely sure, it didn't leave me thirsting for more. however, there was lots of you who enjoyed the book from beginning to end. and I will say there is a new character that made me crack a smile all the time and I was always looking to see when he would be popping up. sometimes even in a novel you dislike, a great character can keep you reading. I didn't dislike this book I didn't love it either. since there are so many different opinions on the book, if you loved it you should move forward with the next book for sure :-)

I already finished the second book. I do agree that the middle was a little boring, but I guess a book that was all action all the time would get boring, too, so I don't know. I liked it a lot. Still probably a solid 4 stars.

Ok thanks for your opinions! I'll have to think about it :) Yes, Jenny, I'd love your input too!
