I completely agree regarding And I Darken; I ended up finishing it, but I honestly could have DNF-ed it at any point and probably wouldn't have thought about it again. It just never seemed like there was any plot and I couldn't quite understand what the point was of what I was reading <br /><br />I'm sad to see you didn't enjoy Nevernight, though! I loved it, but I can <i>completely</i> understand your reasoning for not enjoying it. The formatting and writing definitely did seem like it was trying to be a bit 'different,'<br />Really great post!Jordan @ForeverLostinLiteraturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231807884697678173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048790966720969871.post-50235700323596892682016-08-23T13:40:07.454-04:002016-08-23T13:40:07.454-04:00I think I am reading one now - Belgrave Legacy. I...I think I am reading one now - Belgrave Legacy. I wanted to like this one but the characters are in college but seem to act like preteens at different time and college at other times. It is a weird mix. Plus God and Lucifer's voices are just so off to me. bookbunny68https://www.blogger.com/profile/17869315732973378180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048790966720969871.post-69429319766725028112016-08-23T10:38:09.852-04:002016-08-23T10:38:09.852-04:00Awww, sad you didn’t enjoy these books.

I've really wanted to get a good sense of Nevernight, And I Darken, and The Crown's Game before I decided whether they were worth buying or not. Now I'm certain I've done the right thing by just waiting to find find them at the library, as many of your points on them are valid to me.<br /><br />Regarding The Assassin's Blade, I've not tried it but I'm certain I would've done the same thing as you. I hate Celaena's assassin backstory. Personally, I think this series could have started at Heir of Fire. It was brilliant. I loved it so much, but that might have been because I had the lowest of expectations after reading Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight (those two are indeed...crap). So do give Heir of Fire a chance! <br /><br />Great post! I rarely DNF, but I loved this format and found it very useful, so thank you! ^_^Lorihttp://inkkeysandotherthings.comnoreply@blogger.com
