They were a while ago however so other than knowing it didn't appeal to me I forgot the rest. I was liking the sound of the heroine right until you discussed the love triangle.

If I ever try again, I think I'll go with the audio. Her adult book sounds interesting though!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991818614911652918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-52883908464623163992014-01-13T19:29:21.277-05:002014-01-13T19:29:21.277-05:00I am back and forth on this one.I am back and forth on this one.Sheila (Bookjourney)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05354184020340930630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-66408064308311274692014-01-13T10:56:50.815-05:002014-01-13T10:56:50.815-05:00I had the same issues, and dissapointments with t...I had the same issues, and dissapointments with this book. I was blown away by how often people snuck up on her, which was always used as a way to show her softer side, but come on! I felt like the second book was a bit of an improvement , and I liked it more, though mass is still obviously trying to play to the YA stereotypes. Have you tried Cinda Chima's Seven Realms series? It gave me way more of what I wanted in a YA Game of thrones sense.Rhiannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03694830018006297091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-65702879988387225032014-01-13T10:47:00.102-05:002014-01-13T10:47:00.102-05:00hm.

Even though you didn't love it, I'm glad you liked some aspects and I'll definitely let you know when we start promoting Court of Thorns and Roses :)Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07052524644015959267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-72108851026593837952014-01-13T09:00:16.338-05:002014-01-13T09:00:16.338-05:00i am sure i would agree with your issues with the ...i am sure i would agree with your issues with the character .. i really get annoyed with plot/character 'stuff' that seems obvious ..
