I felt that way with book 3 too Donna. By the end I was okay with it though. However, I wouldn't mind a followup novella :P

Laini Taylor's writing style reminds of Francesca Lia Block's writing style in reference to the Weetzie bat books.

Did I say I finished Extracted (The Lost Imperials, #1) by Sherry D. Ficklin ? Well I did and if any of you guys are doing the mod challenge Brooke is right, its pretty good.

But that doesn't mean I'm going to read everything on your bookshelf Brooke.

Well what I got to listen to it was good Belkis. But it says its erotic and my nephew came home so I had to turn it off. He's old enough to hear erotic its just weird listening around him. Besides I think he would be all man aunt Tracy! Haha

From the descriptions it sounds like the next 2 books focus on Froi. Are the main characters from Finnikin in much?

Have you read On the Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta from the same author? It's such a beautiful story.

Andrea: BookStoreFinds (bookstorefinds) | 91 comments I've read the first 4 VA books, the first 3 were great! 4 was good, but I'm starting to get bored with them. Hopefully 5 brings back my interest!


message 8327: by Ashlee (new)

Ashlee | 309 comments LOVED Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1) by Richelle Mead and Bloodlines (Bloodlines, #1) by Richelle Mead ...think I read all (at the time) ten books in the space of about two weeks! Lol

Finished Ruin and Rising (The Grisha, #3) by Leigh Bardugo and enjoyed it a lot...just such a shame the main love interest is so boring...really put a dampener on the series!

Now on to Storm Siren (Storm Siren, #1) by Mary Weber ...up to about chapter eight, pretty good so far!

5 and 6 are good, but I think after the third one it did go down a bit...the third was just incredible!

Stick with it though coz it leads into Bloodlines which is awesome!

The book is very popular too. Has an average rating over 4 and all my friends gave it either 4 or 5. I think I am in a funk.

That happens to all of us Rebecca. I can read something that everyone else loved but when I read it it's like I'm reading a different book.

 ♥ Rebecca ♥ | 1653 comments The last few books I have read I tried diligently to find the most fitting books for my moods because I knew I was in a book slump and I wanted to get out of it. But its not working so instead I am just gonna cut out some books that have been on my tbr too long. I am gonna read Balthazar (Evernight, #5) by Claudia Gray now, which is the oldest book on my tbr marked both 'romance' and 'series-in-progress'. Two birds with one stone I guess.

The Lumatere trilogy is fantastic Nicole. All of the characters are in all of the books. Boos 2 & 3 have more of Froi's and then Quintana's stories each respectively but the story as a whole is about all of them and it's beautiful. Absolutely love love this whole trilogy. I hope you end up enjoy the rest of the books.

I have Jellicoe Road and do plan on reading it. It's been on my TBR for a while and I fell totally in love with MM's writing with The Lumatere trilogy so I moved all of her books up my reading list. I've heard it's a beautiful story so I'm really looking forward to reading it. Thanks for letting me know it's worth the read Nicole :)
