I think I stopped at Cerulean Sins. I tried reading it twice and gave up mid book both times. I just couldn't continue. My eyes were rolling so far back into my head* I thought I was going to go permanently blind.

*I kept eye rolling at the ridiculous plot

[Lena]

That’s in the description of the book. I haven’t read it, it’s on request.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

My point was that if someone hasn't read the series, they might not want to know about (view spoiler)[ Edward's wedding (hide spoiler)] ahead of time.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Ergo, please mark the spoiler. Please :)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Thank you :)

[Lena]

Sure thing.

[Miche]

Great job, Lena! :D

Valor was awesome!

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Omg I can't believe you flew through Valor so fast.

[Petrik]

Great job Miche and everyone!

How awesome was Valor!? ;)

It was amazing, Niki. Malice was a slow burn that picked up only after 70%. Valor started right after the events of Malice and it kept the pace going throughout the 688 pages. The scope was much higher and I like the direction the story is taking, even if some deaths broke my heart and some actions enraged me. Now the hard part will be waiting two months for the next one. ;-)

Good! Can't have our 85% comparison going down now! xD

Sigh, this is the second time I signed up for a read for that series and failed haha. I feel it pointedly now.

Did you try it in audio? I remember Scott complaining about the audiobook for Malice.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

That's the route I want to go. Unfortunately only the first book is out in audio in the US. Part of me keeps holding off in hopes that they'll make the rest available here. I know they sell in the UK. If they were all available I don't think I'd have any hesitation to start.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I held out for Greatcoats and was rewarded. Fingers crossed.

Great job, Miche :)

Well done Miche and Virginie!

Great job, Virginie!

I listened to Malice on audio and was bored a lot.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I'm feeling all motivate to suffer through the boring parts of Malice to get to all the exciting things y'all are saying about the rest of the series. It might be worth ruining my challenges to buy and start lol.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

But I'm doing so well!!

Decisions.

[Petrik]

I know a lot of people are suffering through the first half of Malice; although I didn't. But imo! It's worth it because it was all just a preparation for the rest of the series! :)

Hope you'll end up loving it, Niki! If not, it's okay too! :D

Good job Lena!

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

So Malice. I've decided that once I get through a single shelf of my collection, I shall reward myself by buying and binge-reading the series. This is a compromise I can live with. :)

I'll need to complete these series first:
Song in the Silence
Dead Iron
Orphans of Chaos
Stardoc
The Smoke Thief
Inda

I love getting organized lol.

[Miche]

Great job, Lena!

Oooh, good plan Niki! Have you started all those series yet? :D

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Thanks guys! I've only started one and am planning to go through one at a time, currently working on Song in the Silence.

[Kris]

Finished Lord of Chaos (finally! well, I was pretty speedy the last 500 pages). 17.8 points!!! :)

Great job, Lena and Lola! :)

Oh, I see. That's a lot of books O_O
You will definitely have earned the Faithful & the Fallen series :)

[Diana Stormblessed]

Finished the Georgina Kincaid series! Doing a happy dance cuz my series to be read shelf is never ending so it's nice to knock one off :-)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I'll feel totally justified lol. It's all about the reward.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Yay!!! I love that series as a whole so much.

[Virginie]

Great job, Diana! I'll join you for the happy dance tomorrow evening I think :D

[Miche]

Great job, Diana!

[Virginie]

Scratch that, I finished Georgina Kincaid as well. Sleep is overrated anyway.

It was a great series! I didn't expect to like it that much.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Yay!!
