The second book was awesome and the third is off to an amazing start!

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'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. :)

Karen:Jane Eyre is a great read... I can't wait until you get to it, so I can find out what you think!
Oh, and my copy of The White Princess just arrived!
I'm starting
today. I don't expect much, since I've been picking the wrong books lately, but I hope to be surprised :)
I'm enjoying The Program so far. It is a bit dark and depressing with the suicide theme but I'm interested in what's going on and I love the main character's boyfriend James. :)

You all who read it know that chapter.

I did a lot of reading over the Easter weekend. I read:
And I've just started listening to The White Princess on audio, and reading Revan as an ebook.

Karen: I've not listened to much of it yet, but am enjoying it so far. It's an excellent series!Jenny: Well, I'm more tan twice the age you were when you read them, but I'm loving them anyway. I have to wait a couple of weeks before I can buy more though!
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.
