Give it a shot, you might like it more than I did. I just wasn't in the mood to handle a love triangle and tons of teenage angst. The world building was decent though, and there were some cool things. Just not enough to hold my interest :(

Oh crap, sorry, Jenny! I forgot we were going to buddy read this one. Yes, if you're still up for it, let's do it. I'm not that far along as Game of Thrones is still taking up most of my reading time :) I look forward to reading with you and anyone else that wants to join us.

I'll keep an eye out for your review of it. I've heard mixed things about that book.

I'm not a fan of teenage angst. Love triangles I can handle if done right.

I didn't like it too much. It was really dark. I do have the second book which I may or may not read some day. Maybe as a buddy read. :)

I used to have ALL of them, but recently I sold them at a garage sale. I was holding on to them for my girls, but they didn't seem interested in them.

No. There's so many things wrong with it, that even some of the better portions can't save it. It feels like the author gave up having to actually work on the original concept presented here and went a new direction but instead of making a new book she made THIS.
