Especially since the cover is freaking BA. I really hope the series gets better for you!

Maas did an excellent job of making me hate Celaena, I'll agree with that :D Hopefully, the future books are better, at least for me.<br /><br />Thank you, Lyra!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-203293985612508612013-08-20T16:34:40.633-04:002013-08-20T16:34:40.633-04:00Oh wow you really do hate Celaena!

I do kind of think that when a character evokes such deep emotion from readers it attests to the author's strong writing... but I do get where you're coming from. I really hate it when a girl runs to a guy in the pretense of friendship (it works both ways). So annoying!<br /><br />Great review, Alyssa! :)<br /><br />Lyra @ <a href="http://www.defiantlydeviant.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Defiantly Deviant</a>Lyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00854693042786346226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-66835847811021952362013-08-20T13:57:19.884-04:002013-08-20T13:57:19.884-04:00Then you will be very happy!

I'm sorry to ...Aww, you're so nice, Carina. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't like the first book enough to finish it. I really liked Throne of Glass, but clearly, Crown of Midnight was filled with issues, for me. I liked it enough to give it three stars though. The heroine was a BIG problem though. The ending had a bit of redemption... I guess I'll see as the series goes on!<br /><br />One thing is for sure - I am NOT buying any of the books. I'll request them or borrow them, but until the series ends, I'm not buying anymore.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-59232012626824542452013-08-20T13:54:38.029-04:002013-08-20T13:54:38.029-04:00I liked the romance in the first book (sort of), b...I liked the romance in the first book (sort of), because it didn't feel dominate. The competition came first. In this book, the romance is basically EVERYTHING. And LOL! I guess we don't share that neural pathway ;) Yeah I really dislike Celaena. But, I'll probably continue with the series.<br /><br />Thank you, Eileen! <3Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-25127164582679734272013-08-20T13:19:06.287-04:002013-08-20T13:19:06.287-04:00I've always been Team Chaol!

So glad you mentioned the romance! I have not read book one yet, because I could not get into it when I read 90 pages. And now I don't think I will read this series at all. Seriously? The main character does that? GAH! I hate hate hate it when things like that happen. Shouldn't be allowed. Sigh. Anyway.

It seemed like everything kind of was dominated by the romance, but I think we flip-flopped opinions on Celaena and the plot lol! I thought the plot was slow and you thought Celaena was really annoying. But the same rating still counts for something doesn't it? ;)<br /><br />Fantastic review, Alyssa! <33Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
