Maybe I was just tired after listening to it all day so I set it aside and hopefully when I dive back into it today I'll be happier with it because the story is beautifully written.
Sorry Brooke that wasnt a Spoiler at all I believe its even in the Book Blurb - If it had been a spoiler I would have hid it :) Brooke wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Laura wrote: "OK so I was just looking to see when the next book in the Raven Cycle was coming out and saw the release date has been changed to February 2016!!! as it was September 2..."
LOL I've had that problem Erin and I usually remember everything Ive read or at least something about it .... I think its all the books we've read or gettin older-ish? LOL Erin wrote: "@Laura

Yup it's the meat of the book blurb :) no spoiler in this bit of info
Laura wrote: "I finished I really enjoyed it but didnt love it. I think it was the long wait between books.Up next are

I also felt the same about End of Days, I liked it a lot but didn't love it like I loved the first book, but still a great trilogy and overall great story.

It's a series of the month again and the folder is open for suggestions. Waiting until the 20th to post a poll with the books.

. Never finished it.

After a whole freak..."Wow you didn't like HoF Rebecca? Hmm.. well both of these stories are very different but you don't like fairytale retellings either right? Because aCoTaR is a Beauty and the Beast retelling. It's better today I'm enjoying it today actually :)
I finished
and loved it and I started and am enjoying
it's Ethan's POV so YAY! And I'm back on with
and I'm enjoying it much better today :) thank goodness. I think I needed to just step away from it and come back with fresh ears and perspective. Looking good!
Belkis wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Matrim, Kishan, Magnus ♥ wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay guys, so sadly I'm throwing in the towel for now on I'm like at 70% and the slow pace..."I like retellings actually. I just didn't care for the way everything gets drawn out in Throne of Glass. It's such a long series and everything is getting worse before it gets better and I don't have the patience to wait another 4 books to find out what happens. Plus I hate Celaena.
Rebecca ♥ Matrim, Kishan, Magnus ♥ wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Matrim, Kishan, Magnus ♥ wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay guys, so sadly I'm throwing in the towel for now on I'm like at 70% an..."Oh man, that's too bad. Celaena is one of my favorite characters.
Rebecca ♥ Matrim, Kishan, Magnus ♥ wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Matrim, Kishan, Magnus ♥ wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay guys, so sadly I'm throwing in the towel for now on I'm like at 70% an..."Hahaha! Maybe you might enjoy aCoTaR then. It's beautifully written it's just the slow pace of the story frustrated me yesterday but today is much better. I'm enjoying it today.

If it helps ACoTsR is completely different to ToG - it's told in first person and has a completely different writing style
Belkis wrote: "Sara wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Matrim, Kishan, Magnus ♥ wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Matrim, Kishan, Magnus ♥ wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay guys, so sadly I'm throwing in the towel for now on [bookcover:..."Same here! And I love how epic ToG has gotten! I guess it's a matter of taste though
Ash wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Sara wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Matrim, Kishan, Magnus ♥ wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Matrim, Kishan, Magnus ♥ wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay guys, so sadly I'm throwing in the towel for now..."Yes, it sure is Ash! And I'm so happy that I'm enjoying aCoTaR today :D yay!
I'm completely addicted to the Virgin River series so I will probably be derailed from most of the other books, series, etc in my tbr until I get through all of the books :D thank goodness that all of the books are out and I have them all LOL! Onward!
Donna wrote: "Veronica wrote: "finished "How was it?"
I liked it :D
Okay I finished
and I ended up enjoying it better than I thought I would but the pacing never really improved much for me. Still think it's a beautifully written story and glad I got through it. Now back onto
yup Virgin River fest LOL!

I liked it. I loved the main character. You should read it too :P

Thanks Veronica, I got it as one of my Mother's Day audiobook gifts so I will definitely be getting to it :)
Mod
and loved it and I started and am enjoying it's Ethan's POV so YAY! And I'm back on with [bookcover:A Court of Thorns and ..."Glad to hear that you are enjoying it more today :D
Finally finished
- started it a few months ago but had to put it down for some reason...anyway. I enjoyed it although it was hard to take at times...very well written though...looking forward to Winter now.,Done with fairy tales for a while now! I'm moving on to
which I'm hoping I'll enjoy as much as the first one
Mod
I'm like at 70% and the slow pace is unbearable anymore. After a whole freak..."I'm about 1/2 way through now. It's picked up a bit. I love her ToG series. HoF was a bit slow, considering all the world building she had to do it's understandable. But ACoTaR is just not gripping me. I hope it takes off soon. It's not horrible, but it's just not what her other writing is. It's also much more adult than I thought it would be.
Mod
and loved it and I started and am enjoying it's Ethan's POV so YAY! And I'm back on with [bookcover:A Court of Thorns and ..."Loved Ethan's POV!

Mod
. Started last night. It's still as weird as the first.Also got
which released a little early! YAY!

Heh, bizarrely the couple of people I know who've read it so far have hated the MC.
Think it may be a love it or hate it kind of book. But then the previous books were a bit like that as well.
Brooke wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay I finished and I ended up enjoying it better than I thought I would but the pacing never really improved much for me. Still thin..."That was my issue throughout this one Brooke. Eventhough it does pick up a bit in the last portion, it still felt slow for me. I ended up appreciating Maas' storytelling, writing, and characters, but the pacing still frustrated me from start to finish.

That was my issue with the original books too Lynn :( I'm hoping that this new one was better. I guess I'll find out once I dive in...
Brooke wrote: "Got . Started last night. It's still as weird as the first.Also got

I'm super excited for the release of Winter!!

Oh it's both, I think! I blame it partially on 'mom brain' and partially that they all start to mesh together once you get past 500 books! lol
Mod
and it's really good! Garrett is bae. <3Currently reading:
"Yep, The Deal was awesome!!
Mod
and I remember this author's writing being so much better...."I'll toss it in after one that tears me up, maybe it'll be a good light read when I need less emotion. =/

I hate that too Donna but unless I like many things about a series I won't stick with it. I have high hopes about The Court of Thorns and Roses though. It's Maas and she's such a talented writer that I'm sure everything will be eventually good with this new series.
