Just everything about it sounds wonderful, especially the fact that basically every reviewers thinks its even better than the first book. I am worried about getting off to a rocky start with it like you did, mostly because I am not sure I remember all the details from last year. I think I'll be reading a lot of Shadow and Bone reviews before starting S&S!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-81237723822596030402013-06-05T20:22:07.088+01:002013-06-05T20:22:07.088+01:00I'm glad you ended up enjoying it, Jasprit, de...I'm glad you ended up enjoying it, Jasprit, despite the bumpy start!

The Darkling is just delicously dark and so captivating, It is a shame though that he doesn't have a bigger role. I know exactly what you mean about struggling to get into a book. I am going through that right now with Gameboard of the Gods.

It definitely took me a little while to find my footing in this one as well, I just couldn't remember all the little details of this world and what had happened in book one, so I was a bit confused at times. Before long though I was engaged once again, and I loved all the new characters, Sturmhond in particular:) Beautiful review my friend!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-26169700165701758472013-06-03T13:58:59.222+01:002013-06-03T13:58:59.222+01:00Glad you loved it even though it wasn't as eas...Glad you loved it even though it wasn't as easy to get into as the firstbrandileigh2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/01669251993917961293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-72876484913025349482013-06-03T13:24:49.731+01:002013-06-03T13:24:49.731+01:00GAHHHHH I cannot wait to read this book.

I won't be reading your review since I just got the first book and I've yet to read it, but I am so very glad you are a fan of this series and you adored the sequel. Btw, I just tried to read your review, but I have like no idea who these characters are so there's actually no point in reading it since I don't understand any of it *__* It seems so very complex. I'm so pumped up for this series though, you have no idea!!
