Maybe I'm just an Iron Fey fangirl.

No, I think it was probably me not wanting to give it a chance. Sometimes if I walk away from a book and come back to it, I end up liking it. I had to do that with Graceling. The first time I tried to read it, I didn't like it at all. The second time I realized that the first section was just slow, and once I got to section two it got better.
I think I did that with AGATB. I need to go back to it. I bought The Iron King on a whim and loved it. I love fae though.
It happens every so often, like with this series (Gardella Vampires) :I read the first one and remember nothing about it because I was having serious family issues that week (it was a hell week around here), but so many people tell me the series is very good and very unique, so I plan on going back and starting over very soon.

and its boring. heh."I wasn't overly impressed with Burned either. These books fluctuate, some are good, some not so good. I like Rephaim, I think that's what got me through it. I'm hoping Awakened is an improvement. IF IT EVER GETS HERE!!!!

Stacia ~ the plucky heroine wrote: "Can you put it away for a while and come back to it later or is it a library book?"Its a library book and its due back next week. I can always get it out again though maybe.
You're not alone Kara. I know more people that dislike the books than like them.I'm just OCD with having to follow up on series that I'm already more than a book or two into. I will say that Awakened actually gave me hope that the series is finally going in a better direction. The twins were almost nonexistent and Zoey wasn't around much either, which made the book so much more enjoyable.
I won't be getting awakened for awhile though. My library hasn't got it out yet. I will finish the series but maybe I'll put it down for maybe a month.
There are like 12 books I think...I hope the Casts know where they're going. I mean how much more can they put Zoey through really?

I read the first three books, I think.
I liked Zoey to begin with, and then we were introduced to soo many characters that I ended up liking Aphrodite a lot more than Zoey.

It sounds good...and I hope its good because it sounds like a book I would definitely enjoy reading.
I just finished
and absolutely love it! I'm really glad there will be more books about these characters. Highly recommended!!! I've read
before and it is really good. :)And I can't stand the House of Night series. I read the first two books and couldn't begin to even like the characters. I kinda hope the books go away very soon.
And the Blue Bloods series is a awesome one! Have fun reading it, Aura! :)
Im probably gonna buy Across The Universe this weekend. Everyone is raving about it here And on Twitter!

, or taking a break from it and reading
??

Just finished up the last Hathaways book a few minutes ago. Have fun meeting Cam, Brit. :)Finally moving into
and also starting
I'm reading
... I liked how the first book ended... even if it took me a loooong time to finish it :)@Stacia, hope you like Unearthly.. :)
I know why I'm having a hard job getting into The Iron King. I have been 'Fever' ruined. I loved the fae world that Ms. Moning created so much that I just can't switch it in my head and I just don't like TIK world nearly as much. I've never read A Midsummer Night's Dream, but I feel like the author has just used Shakespear's world and not created her own, even the character's are from Shakespear.
Am I being too critical? I feel almost mean but I just can't get into it and something inside me really wants to.

Her Fae world is probably my favourite

Specially since they are both Fae books and you loved Shadowfever so much. I think you should come back to Iron King later on, cause it really is a very good book =)
