Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I finished both Winter (The Lunar Chronicles, #4) by Marissa Meyer 11/29 and Champion (Legend, #3) by Marie Lu 11/22 for this list and I was thinking that this is how authors should end their Young Adult trilogies. (Don't really care for those that killed their main characters)

Overall, 5 stars for Winter and 4 stars for Champion.

I wanted a little bit more from the ending, especially for Cinder and Kai, but, overall, I thought she ended it satisfactorily.


message 878: by Vi (new)

Vi | 2794 comments I finished Saga, Volume 1 by Brian K. Vaughan (it was a freebie) and I liked it. An interesting start to the series though I was expecting a bit more than the length. I'm continuing the series because I've heard good things about this.

Suzanne (esmerelda1) | 2244 comments "Random Book List #265"

I finished reading Champion by Marie Lu and it was ok. It felt like a Divergent/Hunger Games knock-off, I just couldn't get into this series...

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I read Clean Sweep (Innkeeper Chronicles, #1) by Ilona Andrews for this list. I'm glad I did because there are so many things that were added that I don't remember from the serial. As always, Ilona Andrews rocks. *****

Also working on reading The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern but I'm going so slow. Might pick up something else and continue it later.

I finished reading Clean Sweep by Ilona Andrews and I really liked it! I gave it 5 stars, I really enjoyed the world they built. It was unique, which made me happy. I've read too many authors who try to write 2 series at the same time and they end up resembling each other.
