My favorite series ever, quite literally.
Funny- I read this last august, so I'm exactly a year early!
Hope everyone likes it!

[Jessica]

I've never actually read it so I'm happy it won - gives me a good excuse to read it!

[Daniel]

Hope you like it Jessica!

[Alison]

I loved this series!!! its really good

[Madison]

I just started reading it!! I've heard lots of good things!

[Jessica]

Um...so I'm about a third of the way through and I'm totally bored. It's not bad, but I just feel so disconnected from the characters - maybe because of the 3rd person POV or maybe because there's so many characters. But I'm just bored.

[Daniel]

That's too bad Jessica.
I immediately got connected to the characters, and I actually thought Grant did a good job with handling the many POV's and still being able to develop the characters. Every person is different, though.
Hope it improves for you!

This is a brilliant series! There are a lot of POVs, and some of the main characters don't feature that much until later books. I have just re-read the series.
