Loved it, fast,fun read. Original story first in a trilogy so yeay :D And some diversity that I dident know before I read it.

Since my last update, I read...










Now I'm reading The Carpet People, which I haven't gotten very far with yet, because of holiday related activities meaning I've hardly read anything in the past couple of days.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I finished and I mostly enjoyed it! I didn't take it very seriously, it felt more like "light" fantasy to me, and I prefer epic...but it was an entertaining read! Never really connected to the MC. I did like Sir and Theron, they were interesting characters.

Next I'm reading

[Alison]

Hey y'all! I've been gone for too long! My little. Business kicking off and homeschool and then holidays has kept me busy. But I missed y'all!!!! I'm starting zeroes by Scott westerfield today. The hubs picked it out for me for Christmas :) I actually never heard of it until now, so let's see how it goes.

[Donna (BookDragonGirl)]

@Alison I just finished Zeroes! I really enjoyed it and hope you do as well!

Snow like ashes, am on the fence about it.
People rave about it, some people compare it to game of thrones. Which I dont like.. would you recomend it? I love graceling, girl of fire and throns, and throne of glass.

I haven't read Game of Thrones, so I don't know if it compares. Its not as good as the others you mentioned, but its an enjoyable quick read. I think people who aren't normally big fantasy fans would like this one, because it doesn't get bogged down in all the details, and that's what bothers most people who don't like fantasy.

Ok. Might try it out then. Yes, I think as well somtimes high fantasy can be too rich with world building.

Love those books!!

It is NOTHING like Game of Thrones, I can promise you that. I couldn't finish Snow like Ashes, unfortunately.

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

I finished and thought it was pretty good, overall. Definitely very creative with complex and likeable characters.

Now I'm reading , 40% through. This book is way longer than it needs to be, but I'm mostly enjoying it :)

[Karen’s Library]

I'm listening to Winter and am about at the same point, David! I agree that it's longer than necessary, but I'm still enjoying it!

I'm also working my way through Go Set a Watchman. If it wasn't such a short book, I think I may have already DNF'd it.

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

LOL, really, Karen? Cool! Yeah, the plot is good although I have been thinking it has all been going way too smoothly so far. I'm hoping things get a little harder for them in the second half! (yes, that's a cruel way to think, but I want to see them overcome some challenges!)

I'm not planning to read GSaW, especially after hearing your comments.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

How far did you get David? Yeah, it didn't really "hook" me, and the big reveal I was able to predict...but there was enough action and stuff going on that I was never bored!

[Brigid ✩]

Finished:



It was a really sweet book! Not quite as good as the first book for me, but it was still a fun read.

I'm also almost done with:



It's been taking me ages, but I've been getting through the second half of it much faster than the first half. And over all I've been enjoying it!


Today I also started:



I've only read like 40 pages of it, but I'm liking it so far.

Hmm I got to where she made it to the place that her love interest lives and started her "training". I've read a lot of high fantasy so I have pretty high standards for it these days and the whole world felt so contrived. I wasn't a huge fan of the main character either, so that didn't help. And the writing didn't inspire me either LOL I know others have enjoyed it, but this one really wasn't for me :(

Yes, I am replying to my own comment LOL I said I was hoping things would get harder for them in the second half, and thankfully it got WAY harder pretty much right after I asked for it! Yay Marissa Meyer for making some really good choices plot wise :) I'm now enjoying the read a lot more now that the focus is (view spoiler)[ off of the multiple romances and more on the issue at hand: the rebellion! (hide spoiler)]

Great to hear!!! :)

[Karen’s Library]

I finished . 1-2 stars for the 1st part, 2-3 stars for the middle, and 4 for the end. I give it a generous 3 stars overall. There were a couple of scenes that I have no clue what was being said. Blech.

I also read which was a good read and now reading the last book of the trilogy . This is the last book which will let me hit my GRs goal of 150 books in 2015! :)

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Wow, congrats on hitting your goal, well done!

I agree completely with the world building, I felt that really lacking in the first half. The second half was much better. But I get completely why you gave up LOL! (view spoiler)[ She wasn't in that land very long, before they were all double-crossed by Roan, and she was captured and taken to Spring. It got much better after that, a bit darker and more interesting. But it was still lacking compared to a really good fantasy! I guess I looked at it more as a paranormal/action adventure, it didn't feel like epic fantasy at all to me. (hide spoiler)] Like I said, nothing I'd jump up and down over, but it entertained me enough. It was a quick read. I'll probably try the sequel, I've heard that that one is better.

I'm just starting !

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I liked the Wrath and the Dawn as well Lauren!

[Brigid ✩]

Even though I was already reading two other books ... today I received another book as a late Christmas present––and then since I hadn't brought a book with me, I read most of it on a long car ride home and then finished it. :D It was a short book (only about 160 pages).



It was pretty cool! I don't read a ton of epic fantasy, but I thought this one had some interesting and original ideas. And I liked the main character. A fun read, over all. :)

[Cecilia]

I finished my other book and now I'm reading

[Catherine]

@Heather No, but I'm on page 344 out of 599 and I am hooked. I predict that I'll be finishing it sometime in the next two days...maybe less.

I've finally started continuing Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen and I'm starting to get into it! The beginning was a bit rough for me.
