Anyone else think that Kilorn is annoying? I kept hoping he'd just die so there wouldn't be some ridiculous love triangle with a lame guy that can't take care of himself and makes terrible choices.

Yes! I liked the world-building much more than the characters in this book.
Finished book #5
- New Author/New SeriesUpdated post #15
It's been ages (probably years) since I've been on. But after a rocky year, I need to start concentrating on the happier stuff, the stuff I enjoy! It's been way too long since I've read consistently so I'm excited to start. And since I'm on a budget, I raided my kindle first.Completed

This book KILLED me - so heartfelt!
Amy, I went ahead and listed this as your one non-YA book for the challenge (since it's an Elementary/Middle-grade read).
Thanks Gremlin. Didn't realise it was middle age but that makes sense so I'm all fine with that. Brilliant book, I hear the movie is just as good so can't wait to see it.

Oh man how was it? There was a book written in the same universe prior to this one called
and it was easily one of my favorite books in 2016. Once this challenge is over, I plan on reading Crimson Bound.
Finished book 3 -
Urgh I wanted to like this more. The story was so good, but the editors should have cut out a good 2/3 of the damn book. So much repetition! And useless inner monologue! But I think I still may read the sequel after the challenge is done. I'm just glad I borrowed it from the library and didn't spend money on it. Updating #17

Yeah I felt the same way but I'll definitely continue because I LOVED Gen as a character. Can't wait to see what he gets up to next.

Melanie #8 updateNew Series and New Release!
*The book was very good but was more like Star Trek than like Divergent.
Candice wrote: "Oh man how was it? There was a book written in the same universe prior to this one called..."It was well written, but not really my cup of tea. It's a little darker than I typically like and, although advertised as a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood really had nothing to do with it except the very minimal premise. But if you like her other work, from what I read in the reviews, you'll probably like this one too.

After the way the Divergent series ended I'm afraid to invest myself into anything she writes. Which is a shame because this looks good.

It's good brain candy. I remember liking the rest of the series, though the teen romance crap did get on my nerves a little bit. Lili St. Crow's writing is usually pretty solid though! :D
Great Job Teresa in Ohio and Veronica!!! If you're still enjoying the challenge, go ahead and run through another round!
Finished my 4th, as well! Just completed
on my lunch break.

I just finished
and it took me about a month to read ... Ate up way too much of the challenge time. It definitely was not for me.
