[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

This book is absolutely AMAZING!!! So unique and original, and just a beautiful story with beautiful writing.

[Nancy]

You guys are killing me. Always a new release gets voted for. Ok, may not not always but mostly. Luckily, the library actually has copies not checked out and an eBook available.

[Donna (BookDragonGirl)]

I hear ya Nancy! I tried for Scythe and it was somewhat close. I wonder if that book will ever make it. Lol. Well, Oda knows how that feels. She never gives up though! I do want to read this one though, but it wasn't going to be available in the two libraries I use. So I splurged and bought it for my kindle.

[Django]

I just finished this book like 15min ago and it was spectacular!!!! I cant wait for the final book, Atleast the cliff hanger wasnt that bad so i can live with it i guess till we get the next book in 2018... hopefully >.< it was just beautifull, the story, the descriptions and everything.

[Donna (BookDragonGirl)]

WOW!!! Now your just getting me excited!!! Dang, I've got to read a couple books I've promised reviews on first. MUST HURRY!!

[Django]

You have noooo idea, the only thing i regret is that i didnt wait till the second book is out... the waiting... is allrdy killing me. Im literally trying to search for a new book now to read with a male pov and romance just to "forgett" and take my mind of this story :x I just cant stop thinking about it.

[Karen’s Library]

I finished this one a few days ago and am still suffering from book hangover! Absolutely exceptional read! I'm sure I'll do a reread before the next book comes out just because I want to! I'll do it by audio next time! The writing is breathtaking!

[Django]

Exactly my thoughts. The only thing that helps me with the book hangover is that i know that atleast there is hope for them, its not a tragedy like Robin Hobb series or the Kingkiller Chronicles. If there would be no hope the ending would be different.

[Nancy]

See, that why we shouldn't nominate books when they first come out. Because now everyone will be on pins and needles waiting for book 2.

[Django]

Isnt that the case with all the new promising books? We get immersed in the new world with loveable characters and romances that we (or atleast i) miss from our lives and then boom, the book ends and we have to wait for atleast a year for the sequel... We need more authors with Brandon Sandersons speed but who write Patrick Rothfuss quality stories every 4-6th moon....

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

LOL I just added myself to a long waiting list at the library. Hopefully it won't be too long a wait, it sounds like this one is AWESOME :)

LOL, yup that sounds about exactly right!

I've been trying to wait for more series to finish before I start reading them. Trying, not always succeeding!

Long waiting too?

[Django]

Maybe its against some unwriten rule or honor code in this community :x but i got the pirated version of it both in pdf and in Epub. Since you plan to borrow it from the library and all xD If you give me an email i would be happy to send it over.

Long waiting too?"

Yes, still waiting! But I still have plenty of other books to read while I wait :)

Thanks anyway, Django, but I really don't mind waiting!

[Karen’s Library]

This one is worth the wait! Still my favorite of 2017!

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

WOW, that makes me even more excited! I think I am #18 on the waiting list, but there are 4 copies so it shouldn't take too much longer :)

You'll love it, David!

[Karen’s Library]

Move over Mark Watney (from The Martian)! You have competition as my book boyfriend. Lazlo Strange is the perfect boyfriend/husband!

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Bwahaha!

[Sarah]

I feel so lucky because when I was at the library last week it was sitting on the shelf calling out to me. lol Such a pretty cover! :)

Awesome! Have you started it yet? I just got my copy last night! I am only 5% in but LOVE the language so far. Such a beautiful writer. Not much has happened but my interest is piqued :)

[Karen’s Library]

I can't wait for you both to read this! :)

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Thank you! Me too :) I am reading it while walking these days LOL Can't put it down!

I read 4 chapters this morning and I totally agree with you David. Not a whole lot going on yet but it's not boring at all. I can't wait to read more tonight after my boys go to bed. :)

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Exactly, the language is so beautiful it could be entries in an encyclopedia and I'd be happy :) Happy reading!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Agreed, the writing was the best part of this read!

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

13% now! (view spoiler)[Wow. I can't believe Strange got screwed over TWICE but that spoiled brat taking credit for his research. It's making me so mad. I am HOPING the tables turn at some point. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah]

I finished it this afternoon. Holy book hangover... Such a lovely read and Lazlo is definitely my new book boyfriend as well! <3

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

I'm so glad you guys enjoyed this =] I read it when it came out but I'm going to do a re-read by audio if I can ever get moving in line on Overdrive =]

[Karen’s Library]

Haha Sarah! I had a serious book hangover after this one!!

[Karen’s Library]

I also plan to reread by audio soon, Melissa!

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

Woot! Maybe mine will come in when you start =]

I'm waiting to get it on Audible because I'm collecting and re-reading The Lunar Chronicles so when they come through at the end of the month I'm getting Scarlet and Cress. I wish I had a million free credits. Lol
