I think I decided I'm too old! I have no problem with YA, but I think I do better when the characters are geeky and nerdy, and these ones just seem too cool LOL!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408471966661831444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-35117319159044727202010-07-19T13:57:18.579-07:002010-07-19T13:57:18.579-07:00NotNessie, yeah they are good as far as some thing...NotNessie, yeah they are good as far as some things, but not my favorite.

I'm having a hard time remembering the twist, though. Interesting reaction for certain!<br /><br />Andie, it is something indefinable for me. I do really love the winter court and dark court faeries more than summer and high. I've never read any of Harris' books, but I'd be interested in Chocolat.melissa @ 1lbrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292714636311546457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-25949583240568566562010-07-17T01:26:16.864-07:002010-07-17T01:26:16.864-07:00Melissa,

So they're usually a 3.5 to 4 star read for me. (But I haven't read this one yet.)<br /><br />My favorite Marr character was actually the Winter Girl in Wicked Lovely ... (not that you asked that question, but ...)<br /><br />Other love/hate books? The ones that spring to mind are Joanne Harris's books, eg Chocolat, Holy Fools etc I love her writing but have thought there's actually been something increasingly amoral about the characters and the stories with every book published. I say "increasingly" as it's close to invisible in Chocolat, but still there, but I haven't actually read another of her books after Holy Fools, I found it so distasteful.Andiehttp://orson.boric@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-18264611135599918072010-07-16T19:06:09.238-07:002010-07-16T19:06:09.238-07:00Let's see...I remember reading the Two Princes...Let's see...I remember reading the Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine when I was younger. It was a great book, and I had a good time reading it.<br /><br />Until the sudden, wrenching twist at the end.<br /><br />And boy, was I mad! <br /><br />So, I'm afraid it wasn't much of a love-hate relationship. More like a relationship that's swiftly cut off with a knife.<br /><br />But other than that, Levine writes great books! :DLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602756712271124931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-4642790912550724182010-07-16T12:50:20.254-07:002010-07-16T12:50:20.254-07:00I definitely know what you mean about this series....I definitely know what you mean about this series. It's up and down and right and left and my emotions range from IN LOVE (Niall, Irial, Leslie) to not caring the slightest (Keenan, Ash post-WL), etc. <br /><br />But I really am looking forward to the final book. I can't wait to see how she ties it all up.Angiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353676756221692186noreply@blogger.com
