I do that to Laura. Many of the books are to slow anyway. I just can't do it on Overdrive

TEAM QUAY! I have to admit by the time I got around the their book I was fangirling quite a bit lol


Do I think it's one of her best? No
However I think readers have come to expect so much from her now that she's getting a bit of backlash if the book is anything but perfect.
Even though I've read better from her, it's still really good.

I really liked this one, but it's not her best. I liked Maybe Someday better for sure. I actually didn't love Slammed. I think b/c the writing was not as good b/c it's her first stuff and I found it harder to read.

Completely agree.


I just bought this from kmart ($5 bargin!). However, I haven't read the first two yet so I won't be joining the buddy read.

Heir of Fire? Yeah, you can't read it without reading at least the first two. And if you can read the prequel novellas even better. It's all quite awesome, though!

I wasn't in love with Slammed either but I read it on the heels of Hopeless.

Isn't this going to be a series or something? I'm guessing that's why it has a 1 at the end.

Exactly. I started with Hopeless then moved on to Maybe Someday. Then read Slammed. I'm 30% into PoR but I'm not loving it to be honest. it's kind of boring. But I'll finish it and see if it gets better for me.

Yes, this is a series.

Finished
. Took me TWO months. I'm giving it a 2. I really was not impressed at all. I can't believe I even kept reading it.

Well then where is the rest of the books? Can someone tell the author there has to be more books?

I BUTTERFLYING love the Slammed trilogy :)


Ugh! I'm really disappointed that this book turned out to be such a dud Brooke. I was really excited when I first found out about it. It looked like it had promise, but noooooo. Oh well, I guess not all book can be good ones. I'm sorry you had such an awful time reading this one.

You are talking about Extracted, right? Next book was pushed to publication for 2015, I know that.

See, I'm just not feeling this one. I don't know why. I'm sad. Maybe I should have read this series first before Hopeless.

Yeah probably Brooke.

Well hopefully it won't be the end of 2015 ;)

No, not the end, I know that. I think it's the middle, like May. Not sure why it's so long. Sherry told me but I can't remember what she said! LOL!

Well I saw that she's been busy writing other series so maybe that's why. Thanks Brooke :)

I just could not connect with the characters at all. And the writing was like this: I got up. I walked across the room. I turned on the light. It was glowing. I sat back down. I picked up the book. I started to read.
Awful!

I own all of the books, including the novellas. I just haven't gotten around to reading them yet. Where do the novellas fit in? After which book should they be read?

I read the novellas first. They are prequels and give a lot of good insight into who the main character is and how she comes about the circumstances at the beginning of the first book. You don't HAVE to read the novellas, but I liked that I did. Maas mentions things in the books that have to do with the stories you read in the novellas and it was nice to have that background first.

It made me cry and fall in love, so its a damn good book!
Thanks Sara, I think you suggested it.

Yay! It was so good! I didn't cry at all, but I know a lot have.








Heir of Fire came out today.



Thanks. I knew it was coming out soon. Didn't realize it was today:)


OMG. That's really bad. I will not be attempting this one. Yikes.


It made me cry and fall in love, ..."
OMG I got this one a few days ago and have it in my next up shelf so will be reading it soon hopefully. Can't wait!!


Yup the novellas added so much insight to the overall story and insight into Celaena's character. It was wonderful getting all of that background. I ended up reading the novellas after I had already read the first 2 books and I still loved them so I don't think it matters in which order you end up reading them, at least it didn't for me :)


Oh Mel I hope this is a good one. Keep me posted so I know if I should should try picking this series back up on this book or further out.
