Friends have been urging me to give this one a try and I did twice but both times, I couldn't get past page 10. Her new series was even worse. Some of us seem to be immune to whatever magic she wields.

I went and read some of the spoilers, and I think I'd probably agree if I'd read that far. It almost seems like the author wants to write a completely different story, and rather than come up with new characters, has just used the old ones. I wonder if there's some sort of huge plot twist coming up in the next couple of books that will bring things around to a satisfying conclusion... or if the author's just gone off on a tangent and the series will actually get worse.La Coccinellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118313017081994087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-51629138666002205542015-10-22T03:24:29.201-07:002015-10-22T03:24:29.201-07:00Ah, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it...but on...Ah, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it...but only like a little bit sorry, because while THIS one is one of my favourite books of all time...after Queen of Shadows...I'm kind of sworn off?!?! I don't even recommend them anymore and I FEEL SO SAD BUT. It just lost all of the things I loved about it. *sigh*CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-77113013201877200302015-10-14T12:43:22.715-07:002015-10-14T12:43:22.715-07:00I'm kind of sorry I didn't like this book ...I'm kind of sorry I didn't like this book (and series), too.

I think that's one of my biggest pet peeves. "I loved this book" does not equal "This book is so well written". I've been burned so many times because of other reviewers' failures to understand the distinction (and, possibly, because there are a lot of readers who just don't understand what technically good writing is).<br /><br />The <i>Throne of Glass</i> series may be popular and entertaining to some readers. That doesn't necessarily make it objectively good, though!La Coccinellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118313017081994087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-13758234118875934702015-10-14T10:02:00.213-07:002015-10-14T10:02:00.213-07:00I'm sorry to hear you had another DNF. I think...I'm sorry to hear you had another DNF. I think I'm the only one not to read this series. After your review I'm not regretting that decision. lmao at the STD! It so does! One of these days I'll have to see what all the hype is about, but not soon. Sounds like the writing is really poorly done. Talk about confusing! I guess most people over look it because they enjoyed the books so much.
