I thought it was a really good book, but so emotionally intense that I'm going to read books in between the rest of the series.

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments Thanks, I appreciate it!


message 84: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (melaina) | 638 comments I second Laura - CM was an amazing book, but it is emotionally draining! And epic:-) Comanche Heart a little less so, and Indigo Blue, while angsty, wasn't as intense as the other two, IMO.. You should give them a try Dhes - especially if you enjoyed Annie's Song (which was also my first C.Anderson book..)!

I'm in Italy, can't really update my post, so that'll have to wait till next week! Good reading to all of you:-)
