Belkis clarified it best, they have romance but it's not immediate or emotionally charged like, say Shatter Me. But they're both good and you do get that swoony love story by the time you're done with the book.

It did get a 4.05. It could just be me. Here is my review if you are curious what I didnt like about it. Some spoilers, but not the major ones like who the bad guy was or if anyone died.

Loved Easy and Obsidian. Easy is so good! I thought it was a lot better than Beautiful Disaster.

On the reverse side, I liked it. Though if you're looking for romance it's light on the swoony stuff. I liked how dark it was.

Aww crap :( you're like the third person that says that Sovereign Hope is a no go. Had hopes for it but I guess ill just step over it and not waste my time with it then. Thanks Erin.

It was just REALLY slow-moving with lots of boring fact-telling, and the relationship didn't have much chemistry at all for me. Bummed!

Yup that's been the common complaint that its just meh nothing special and super slow :( and so my friend I will skip it and let it sit in my pile because with the mountain of books we have waiting on us to be read it'd be a damn shame to waste more of our time on this one. Thanks Erin.

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Ok so started reading Rapture (Rapture, #1) by Phillip W. Simpson and it's interesting, unique, and lots of sort of action, but I'm just not feeling it so I set it aside for a bit and started Grave Mercy (His Fair Assassin, #1) by Robin LaFevers and this GRABBED ME FROM PAGE 1! The writing is spectacular. I'm so IN LOVE that I can't make up my mind whether to laugh or cry YAY!!!

I had preordered it, that's how badly I wanted to read it but like the other thousand books I have waiting I hadn't found the time to get to it. But the time has arrived and it's pure joy. I just barely started it and I'm already giddy over it :) this is going to be so effin great! And how bada$$ is that cover! LOL!


Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin Ichimaru | 257 comments That cover is why I preordered it, too. I didn't get a chance to read it right away, either, but when I finally did, I was so glad. It was very, very good.

Nicole (dragonbee13) So I just finished This is Not a Test by Courtney Summers and my mind is BLOWN! Not a lot of romance in there but the tidbits that are there are really sweet. I absolutely loved it! Courtney Summers is really talented.

Now I'm going to read something a little less dark and depressing so I'm going with Cursed by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Oh...I'm new to this GR thing and I feel so bad after I rant! In the end I feel like you have a duty to keep GR's "real" by telling the truth! I've not written reviews (not even put them on my list) because of this very thing. I'd rather people rant. Just my humble opinion ;)

Yeah, its pretty bad. The only good thing is the idea of the story. But the story is basically The Hunger Games. The writing and grammar are bad, the characters are awkward, the action is convoluted, the dialog is horribly contrived. And the names! Omg, dont even get me started on the names.
