I prefer a story to be told by the people who experienced it so you can feel what they felt, rather than just hearing about. Very different preferences I guess.

I'm not a huge fan of present tense but third person present tense took even more getting used to. I can't picture it as a movie although it's been a few years since I read it so I'm sure I've forgotten bits and pieces.

Mod
but had to stop listening to it because my son had some friends over and this book is a little twisted for three 14 yo boys. So I started
and can't break away from it to finish LMG.

and really want to read the next one now but think I will wait until it goes on sale. I can't pay $7 for an eBook. I just don't have it in me no matter how good *sigh*
Tracy wrote: "Just finished and really want to read the next one now but think I will wait until it goes on sale. I can't pay $7 for an eBook. I just don't have it in me no..."Yup I hear you Tracy :( I still need to read the rest of this series too. I've only read the first book same as you.
Finished
, I liked it, it got a rare 3 stars (most books I either seem to adore or loathe), but I've heard the series gets better so will probably continue the series at some point. I had it on audiobook though, and tbh it was hard to take Dimitri seriously with the voice the narrator used for him

Ashley wrote: "Reading . Like it so far! Love Chaol and Celaena so much!"I love that series,just finished Heir of Fire a little while ago!
Erin wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay so I finished and it was very good. Now I'm reading another one I've wanted to read forever and have had sitting ..."Yup Erin, that's true. There's a past, but still quite heated relationship between the 2 MCs. As well as 2 other romantic interests but it's all mostly physical. But this didn't detract from the story. It was quite a refreshing storyline, interesting take on PNR with loads of unique creatures. And I loved that it's set in Australia :)

I actually felt the opposite. I loved the writing style. Very much like a story being told. I think it would be difficult to make it into a movie. A lot would be lost I think.
I listened to the audio, which I thought was beautifully done. It was like listening to a story teller of old. But it took me a bit to figure out how it was written - with 2 threads to the story progressing at different rates through time, and converging at the end. I got the book itself out of the library to refer back to until I figured it out. That helped to get my bearings with the audio.
