It's not one of those books that has a super-exciting twist near the end that changes everything, so if you didn't enjoy the first part, you're not missing much by skipping the last part.La Coccinellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118313017081994087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-31148480720746693222015-05-26T18:02:56.284-07:002015-05-26T18:02:56.284-07:00Oh, yeah, it really sucks when everyone else seems...Oh, yeah, it really sucks when everyone else seems to really LOVE a book and you just can't get into it. But there's not really any point in pretending, right? I felt basically the same way about Cinder, but I stopped about 1/2way through. I keep thinking that I might try again because lots of people with similar taste to mine love it.... but maybe it would just be a waste of time. :-(looloolooweezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04100008049805674675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-63593452793642096982015-05-22T18:36:28.153-07:002015-05-22T18:36:28.153-07:00Oh, dear.

(Yeah, we're in the minority since we're not crazy about that series. I might try reading the second book... but I'm going to try not to expect too much!)La Coccinellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118313017081994087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-57111138972526510302015-05-22T13:39:00.083-07:002015-05-22T13:39:00.083-07:00Omggg you didn't like TOG either!!

The characters are just annoying, I liked Chaol but I hated him in the rest of the books. <3 Benish | <a href="http://feministreflections.com/" rel="nofollow">Feminist Reflections</a>Beenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718861012681693010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-12784646753698360642015-05-22T10:04:03.541-07:002015-05-22T10:04:03.541-07:00I know a lot of people like Unwind.

I will agree, I wasn't that keen on the first Throne of Glass but they get so much better! Seriously, the second was great (she actually kills people!) and the third was even better. You should give the rest of the series a try, they're so much better than the first book.<br />My TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2015/05/19/top-ten-tuesdays-5/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-21405514471213722072015-05-21T12:28:46.424-07:002015-05-21T12:28:46.424-07:00Throne of Glass was definitely meh compared to the...Throne of Glass was definitely meh compared to the rest of the series, so I totally see where you're coming from.

I HATE THAT SO MUCH. And I hadn't heard of that Peter Pan retelling and I want to cry, because it sounds soooo good and that's such a shame it didn't live up to your expectations. I might peek at it on Goodreads though because I'm SO obsessed with Peter Pan. xDCG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.com
