I admit, the whole Queen and Kai thing is a little confusing, more enlightening on that soon would be good, and the length was a thing too, Cress is huuuuge, so I'm pausing with that. Fantastic review though, honest with your feelings and blunt with your opinion, detailed enough with the review and I'd still want to carry on reading the series, so well done :)Amanda Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357839391966441808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-83620332143538452492014-06-04T17:56:08.546+01:002014-06-04T17:56:08.546+01:00It seems we are a little opposite when it comes to...It seems we are a little opposite when it comes to this book. I agree with most of what you said in your review. I just didn't love this book even though the writing and characters were great.However, for me I wasn't that interested in the book during the first half and the last half is when I was invested in the story.<br /><br />I also really loved Scarlet and Wolf's relationship. I thought they were just so good for each other and they brought out the best in one another. I just really liked them as a couple, I liked them much more then I liked Cinder and Kai. I also really dislike Kai. When I was reading Cinder I just didn't get why she liked him so much. But here's hopping that he gets better in the next two books.<br />Great review :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600042364862403288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-21752667029197985482014-06-04T16:40:42.575+01:002014-06-04T16:40:42.575+01:00I have these books in my iTunes library, but I'...I have these books in my iTunes library, but I'm scared to start them too soon.

I was so hesitant to read it because I really found Scarlet so 'eh' but WOW was it just phenomenal! Even better than Cinder. <br /><br />I'd love to know what you think once you've read that one :)Allie @ Little Birdie Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368572335905353234noreply@blogger.com
