I just finished it and liked it overall. I had some issues here and there, but overall it's a good 3.5 to 3.75 rating for me (rounded up to 4). The info dumping truly grated on me after a while, but I stuck through it because the action and puzzles were so well done. In the author's defense, and why I did give it a 4 is that I dont think there was another way to get the volume of complexity in without the dumps. Of course, I dont think the level of complexity was necessary at times, so it could have been trimmed that way, but it's a matter of opinion. Not sure what to read next....I have a 7 page tbr list on my kindle and no idea which direction I want to go next.

I also listened to Ready Player One on audiobook which I think helped a lot with the info dumps.

I'm still waiting for Erebos. I decided to start The Wheel of Time for now. These books are a bit longer than I'm used to anymore. We will see how it goes.

Finished and really enjoyed it -plus I live near Atlanta and it was really fun seeing the places that the author put in about Atlanta. Isn't that funny, how you can get such a kick out of that. ;) I think I'm finally going to get to start

[Brigid ✩]

Good to know, Dixie! I think I will give that one a try. And I hope you enjoy Cinder––I love that series. :D

Yay!! I am listening to Winter right now and am excited to see how the series ends. Hope you love it too!

[Brigid ✩]

How are you liking Winter so far, Heidi? I'm like 120 pages in I think, and I love it so far. I almost forgot how much I love all the characters. :D

Yay Kristen!!! You won't regret it (*crosses fingers* Brigid I am on disk 8 out of 19 and really love it so far. So nervous for everyone and hate Levana!

[Brigid ✩]

I hope you like it Kristen! It's a really fun series. :) Yay I'm glad you're also enjoying it Heidi. Ugh I know, Levana is so terrible! I haven't been able to read much over the past couple days but hopefully I can get back to it soon.

When you ladies recommend it, I'm pretty much guaranteed to. I'll let you know though

[Heidi]

Thanks Kristen. *crosses fingers*

[Brigid ✩]

Haha I feel the same way, Kristen! I trust the opinions of you guys more than anyone. ;) I hope you like it! IMO the series gets a lot better as it goes along, but I still really enjoyed the first book.

[Ashley Marie]

Just started :)

[[deleted user]]

200 pages into looving it.

[Kristen]

Just ordered Cinder! Paperback, because for some odd reason, the kindle copy was a lot more expensive than the print book. Now to find something else to read while I wait for it to arrive....

Recommendations?

[Heidi]

Kristen I am so excited to see your thoughts on the Lunar series. I checked your TBR shelf and can not believe you have not read The Knife of Never Letting Go!! How have I let you slip through the cracks and not hounded you to read that one?!! You MUST read it.

[[deleted user]]

I finished

moving on to

[Marcia]

I'm currently reading The Book of Strange New Things and it's amazing so far! It's very different from the books I usually read, but it's absolutely beautiful.

[Kaitlyn]

I am currently reading
It is the third book in it's series and I am really enjoying it! Probably my favourite series I've ever read :)

[Dixie]

Reeeally enjoying ! You guys were right about this! :)

[Heidi]

Yay Dixie!!!

[Ashley Marie]

I started that one ages ago after I heard him speak and got it autographed, then things got crazy and I forgot to finish it. I'll probably get the digital copy and finish it, since I hate reading an autographed copy. Devil In the White City was amazing. I formed an addiction about researching the World's Fairs and collecting postcards from them after that book. I read another of his shortly after about the hurricane that hit Galveston in the beginning of the 20th century (Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History). It was a little dry in parts, but still well worth reading. And I think I'm overdue reading Thunderstruck. I have a copy somewhere.
Oda & Heidi, thanks :). I'll move those up. Cinder comes tomorrow. Yay!

[Heidi]

I am super jealous that you heard Patrick Ness speak and got his autograph!

*hyperventilating*

SO. COOL.

I'm dying to read Dead Wake too!

Was this addressed to me or did I miss someone else say they did? If it was me, I saw Erik Larson, actually. He was doing a discussion at the national Holocaust Museum. I, of course, acted like a bumbling idiot, particularly when he told me his daughter had the same name as me, so he liked it a lot. Truly, I shouldn't be allowed out of the house :p.

If it wasn't me, ignore this comment :)

He was such a nice guy, genuinely so. Somehow Dead Wake wasn't on my radar! It's on my short list now. Thanks for mentioning it :).

[*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n*]

still trying to finish...


It's taking me so long to finish this book, not because I don't like it, just not enough time. Back from vacay so maybe I'll get around to finishing it!

[Donna (BookDragonGirl)]

I'm reading

[Heidi]

I hadn't heard of that one Donna. How is it?

[Donna (BookDragonGirl)]

I'm loving it! It's part of the Lunar Chronicles and I'm so happy to be in this world that Marissa Meyers created again!! It's several short stories that were on Wattpad and a few new ones. So cool!!

[Ashley Marie]

I'm getting that from the library this weekend! SO EXCITED!

I've been meaning to try this series. I even borrowed the first book from the library and then never pick it up. I'll have to try again soon.

[Becky]

Still reading



I think I'll only be able to read a book or two each year from this series. The books are rather long and sometimes too much description for me. I guess I got used to YA Fantasy where they seem to keep the books to 400 page MAX and a lot of action. (I know I'm generalizing, but there does seem to be a bit of a difference between YA Fantasy and just Fantasy. Since The Wheel of Time has a teen main character, it could be put into YA but it is not.)

[Ashley Marie]

Finished last night and just now finished

Now back to finish off

[Jenny]

I'm rereading

Also reading

Enjoying all of them!

How was Blood and Smoke? I keep meaning to grab that from the library...

[Ashley Marie]

I enjoyed it -- not as good as Night & Fog, but a good ending for the set :)
