No problem, Michelle - I know you read fast! Heart of Steel is motivation for me to get my game on too. :) Join in when you can!
The Disillusionists series is an important one for me in terms of my personal growth as a reader. Prior to reading it, while I liked books that had dark tones, in the end, I needed my heros and heroines to be, well, heroic. I needed to like them.
With the Disillusionists, we have one very screwed up heroine and a group of people who may or may not be doing good things (no matter what they tell themselves). Lots of grey areas.
The world building blew me away and the magic system was very cool, but I had trouble with Justine. I still needed to read the next one, though, and since then I have come to appreciate the characters who make me cringe as well as rally behind. It's that visceral reaction that still makes me care what happens, makes me want to lead character to get better, to come out of her own illusions.
So, I'm thinking of starting book 1 again in the next couple of weeks. If you like the informal book club approach, join in!
