I loved Wintersong so much, words can't even begin to describe it. But Shadowsong was such a disappointment.. it hurts my heart to say that, but it's the truth. It was boring and confusing and slow and pointless/directionless and WHERE WAS THE GOBLIN KING?!?!?! I didn't care about Josef or finding Josef - or any of the characters for that matter. And yes, things felt very forced. My heart is broken and I wish this weren't the case, but it was :(Meredith @ Pandora*s Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488994511596509503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-22447302762986549282018-02-18T00:24:35.975-05:002018-02-18T00:24:35.975-05:00I'm glad to see that I didn't miss out on ...I'm glad to see that I didn't miss out on much by DNFing this book. I can definitely understand how you fell asleep around 25% because that is around the time that I decided that I wasn't going to finish it. Honestly, I don't know why I even requested this one after disliking Wintersong so much... The fact that the term "austere young man" was used like 3-4 times in the short amount of time that I was reading this book definitely pushed me toward the DNF. I'm sorry that you didn't like this one! I wanted to like this series SO BAD!RattleThePageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384685788016281486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-70631823987571997312018-02-16T09:15:23.936-05:002018-02-16T09:15:23.936-05:00Yessss.

Don't really want to, after what I know about this sequel. I heard about all of these details, how the goblin king is never there, months ago. And I am NOT PLEASED. Totally understand why you did not like this one. Ugh. And annoying writing too? The worst. Yeah. I did not buy this sequel. Despite the gorgeous cover, haha :) I'm sorry it was so awful.Carina Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962924929801205597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-17470912735024115602018-02-13T11:06:48.483-05:002018-02-13T11:06:48.483-05:00Well.

I love the sound of the madness and bi-polar descriptions, but that doesn't seem like enough for me to want to read this, especially considering there's NO GOBLIN KING! I wasn't a fan of Josef to be honest so... Might have to give this one a miss!

I'm sure a book focusing on the goblin king would have been amazing.
