I love this so far. So fast paced."The whole series(to this point) is just excellent. Cress is even better IMO.

I loved Cress! I hope Winter lives up to it. I did not love Scarlet but I think it was mainly because I am not a fan of Scarlet the character. She annoys me.
I have heard really great things about Cress. I'm excited to get to her story but I am loving the characters right now.
Oh, yeah, no rush. Cress is great, but linger in this one for now. Man, Winter better be amazing haha. It's hard to imagine it not being really good though.
I'm so excited for it and I still have to finish Scarlet, Cress and Fairest. :) I'm enjoying every word.

I love this whole series! I think this was my least fave of the series, but it was still good!

I don't think I love it more than Cinder but it is still really great.

Initially, I liked it more than Cinder, but as time went by it didn't stick with me the way Cinder and Cress did.
Still 5-starred it and don't even kind of hesitate to restate that it was a 5-star book for me, but the other 2 just stuck with me more. Especially Cress.
I think we should definitely do a buddy read for Winter! I'd be able to start next week sometime, if anyone else is interested!

I listened to Molly Fyde on audio. I liked his
better. I'll be interested to see what you think since I know you read that one too. By the way, I heard Hugh is planning a sequel to HWH!

Yes, I loved Half Way Home too :) And I also heard about Hugh's sequel, can't wait! In the meantime I'm part of a group writing some Half Way Home short stories that will be published next year. We got Hugh's approval! I'll let you know what I think of Molly Fyde :)

@Skylee I've had Rebel Spring for almost a year and still have yet to read it. Mostly because I didn't like Falling Kingdom too much. :/

Plus, I don't know why I'd pick up Rebel Spring after I finished Queen of Shadows. Waaaaay too similar.

I love the Shannara books! I've read all but the new trilogy, I think.

Slowly making my way through Six of Crows. School is a little hectic right now. But totally unrelated, am I the only one having a hard time choosing which book to vote for in the YA Sci-fi fantasy category for the best books of the year?
Okay, finished the following the last few days:
3.5 stars
While I loved the reinventing of the American Revolution and the Steampunk vibe, the romance seemed very juvenile, and it wasn't hard to figure out the twists. Enjoyable read if you like Steampunk/Historical Fiction!
4 stars
This was my first Colleen Hoover book, and I loved it! It somehow seemed so different than most NA I've read. Her writing is BEAUTIFUL, and I was sucked into the story so easily!
Finished my reread of
4 stars. Here's my original review if you're curious: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
PIFM book. 3.5 stars
Even though I didn't find this story realistic at all, I still enjoyed it! I didn't like the MC, Kate very much, but I did really like Carter!
4 stars.
I am really falling in love with this series, and this world! Keladry is beyond awesome as an MC. I'm officially hooked to Tamora Pierce!
