My copy is pretty near the top of my TBR pile and I've never read a zombie book so I'm hoping I have more luck with it.

Even I'm such a cover whore and am definitely able to stare at this gorgeous one all day, the issues you had with it will probably irk me too. Lackluster characters and a sketchy plot with too many questions? No, thank you. :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-6097005813889835482012-10-23T01:18:35.305+01:002012-10-23T01:18:35.305+01:00I feel like the reviews I've read of this have...I feel like the reviews I've read of this have been pretty mediocre actually. I'm curious, for sure, since I do love zombies. I'm also a character girl though so I hate that you couldn't connect with at least ONE.

It seems as if is more romance rather than zombie oriented and characters you couldn't connect with? It sounds like Night Beach all over again! I'm sorry this one disappointed you, dear, so I hope you have better luck with your next read! :D (Days of Blood and Starlight? ALREADY?

I was there seemingly all by my lonesome with regard to Throne of Glass, and though I sometimes thought maybe I was just missing the brilliance that everyone else was seeing, I figured out that it just wasn't the book for me. Just like this wasn't quite the book you had hoped it would be. I'm glad you at least had fun reading it, even if it didn't blow you away:) And thanks so much for the link to my review!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-54674755306470657472012-10-22T19:17:26.938+01:002012-10-22T19:17:26.938+01:00Sorry you didn't enjoy this!

Sometimes it is really hard to connect with even one of the characters, which kind of makes reading the book pointless because you don't really care what's going on.
