I think I was just expecting there to be more action than there was. I was all geared up for it and then I was told to read the second book! But I guess the book did its job, if it makes me want to read the second book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10683814336132017546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131544436877841249.post-68737292756512039982013-10-19T18:53:20.612-04:002013-10-19T18:53:20.612-04:00There is definitely room for potential.

I really LOVED this book, but I have to say I agree there. I think I was still focused in on the mystery of who Karou really was to not pay attention, but it was mostly built up towards the next book. I think I didn't mind as much because the world was just so fantastical and I love Laini Taylor's writing, but I wonder if I would feel differently if I did a re-read.

(I think I may have even bought it and it's sitting on my eReader...) sounds like it has FBS (First Book Syndrome), which is okay for me if there's potential.

I think I have a copy of this somewhere. I hate feeling like chunks could be shaven off. I'm one that needs awesome movement throughout the whole book or I just get bored and bogged down.<br /><br />An example of lack of movement ....Shadow & Bone then the sequel Siege and Storm. While I liked them. I feel they really needed more movement in them.Tabitha (Pabkins)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11945588780690794396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131544436877841249.post-42685783825051452822013-10-17T05:43:03.877-04:002013-10-17T05:43:03.877-04:00Very interesting review Pamela :) I agree a drawn ...Very interesting review Pamela :) I agree a drawn out plot can get very boring no matter how well it is written.

I don't say no to a good world building but that's too bad that nothing much happens. I didn't read the spoilers since I haven't read but I'll have to see what I think when I read this!
