This series i...I loooooooved the first two so hard. This series is ike the light and fluffy version of Stephen R. Donaldson's Gap cycle. Seriously though, I saw so many parallels between Cora / Morn Hyland and Leon / Angus Thermopyle. If you're craving some hard core space sci Fi, that is the one for you starting with The Real Story. <br /><br />Anyway the only let down for me was the convenient axion plot twist and there not being enough Cassian. I am going to stay positive and assume there is a lot of interstellar travel in his future 😂Palomita Gasolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13884707572995126674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-36166029685499320972017-05-11T14:53:59.238-04:002017-05-11T14:53:59.238-04:00Ahhhh.

I just bought book two and have book three pre-ordered, as I already own book one.. and I was looking forward to reading all three soonish :p But now I'm a bit worried. Ack. But also a bit excited too, as you didn't hate the book, haha :) Thank you for sharing Alyssa. <3 Yay for loving all the science :D But aw, so little romance :( That's depressing.Carina Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962924929801205597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-45525587119700578482017-05-10T16:27:33.990-04:002017-05-10T16:27:33.990-04:00I am sorry this one didn't hit the mark.

What a bummer that Cassian is missing for so much of the book! But I definitely still want to know what happens with the other two couples! I'm sorry that the ending wasn't what you'd hoped for.

The romance especially sounds like a real let down in this one, which is a major bummer!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345874849864173182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-35113374038522216422017-05-08T11:03:54.722-04:002017-05-08T11:03:54.722-04:00Sorry to hear that you didn't end up enjoying ...Sorry to hear that you didn't end up enjoying this one more.

I still have nightmares about that bloody sex scene ...<br />Anyways, I'm sorry this didn't impress you as much. It definitely sounds like she should have amped up a lot of elements in the story, especially the romance. But at least it wasn't a terrible ending? And the science sounds cool so there's that!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304521473521896294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-57358914959793089972017-05-08T06:09:43.652-04:002017-05-08T06:09:43.652-04:00I've been wanting the read The Cage...I had a ...I've been wanting the read The Cage...I had a digital copy and now I have a physical one from a friend...I really really want the time to see if I would like it as I like a lot of science fiction normally.

I enjoy YA sci-fi so I'll probably eventually read this one.
