That's what attracted me to YA, the lack of heavy romance. However when there's a lot AND it's not good....bummer.

finished
which I loved and thought was a perfect end the series. Also listened to
and really loved it. Not as great as the Christmas Carol. currently listening to
. I restarted it after not getting into a few months ago. Currently really loving it. You can tell the author did soooooo much research. Hope to finish it before the end of the year and maybe read another short story.
Almost done with
. Thank goodness. 92% in so I will finish today. I will start
when I get home b/c I only have it in print. And I will just read
for the rest of the day since I'm about 30% into that. I also want to start
because what could possibly be BAD about Daemon's POV?????

Where have I been that I didn't realise Morgan Rhodes had released a Falling Kingdoms spin-off earlier this year?
- it looks pretty cool, and perfect timing cause I'm so hungover from Frozen Tides!

I don't know Ash. Maybe you just wasn't paying attention that day or you had something major going on.

Thanks, Tracy. I got my very first library card yesterday. My whole state has only 40,000 e-books (which means NF, Fiction, all genres). So this is what I could find that was a whole series!

I would say these are definitely on young side of YA reading for sure.

Tracy, you should definitely give this a go. I loved it! It's been a while since I've read a book in a day let alone hours. I love the Fantasy genre and I haven't read a good one since The False Prince. 2015 has not been a good book year for me:(
Just finished
and loved it! I'm so sad to be on the last book
. I love that I don't have to wait as the series is complete since I'm totally addicted to it! Thank you to whoever it was on this thread that mentioned it.

They are on the younger side but I also enjoyed them.They were fun reads.
Finished
and it was really great. McGarry gets me every time. Although I am not as enamored with her Thunder Road series as this one. I really need to read
but Noah and Echo weren't ever my favorite characters.

Thanks Ash, I've read all except the last one. I think I got tired of waiting and lost interest for some reason. I welcome any awesome fantasy recommendations. Before anyone says The Fallen Kingdom series, because I know everyone here has raved about it. I did read book 1 and wasn't impressed enough to continue. Too many POV's amongst other reasons but it just wasn't for me.
Ok I've started
just to read in the background. I did get it for review, but they didn't give a date and I got it after pub date. I'm still reading

That's a shame Tiana but I guess each to their own! Was it the multiple POVs or the alternating POV chapters you didn't like? I know it can be a little frustrating at times being left hanging after a chapter and not being able to return to that POV for another two or three chapters - or in the case of A Song of Ice and Fire another two books!!!
I like seeing different POVs in fantasy though, particularly if there's a really complicated world being explored it can be hard for one character to carry the story on their own - the only one I can think of off the top of my head that's done one POV successfully is the Grisha trilogy.
Some others you might be interested in that don't have too many POVs are
(2 alternating 1st person POVs),
(2 alternating 1st person POVs) and
(multiple 3rd person but mainly follows the MC with bits from other characters)

That's to bad Brooke. It look..."
The cover is fantastic. And many of my friends enjoyed it. But it's SO slow and there's just too much focus on the romance. It is ruining the story.
