just finished the 1st chapter and it seems like a regular urban fantasy book. I´m not sure I want to continue. I´ve placed it on pending list, maybe I´ll pick it up later. I´m going to try the Promise of Blood
I am about a third of the way in; initially I wasn't hooked. The addition of the Grafters has made it immensely more interesting.
I'm about a third of the way through and really enjoying it. I was hooked pretty quickly. I like the idea of her special abilities, although I think the amnesiac main character is a bit of an overdone trope.
Finally got the audiobook this week. Ripped it to my smartphone and hope to start listening to it this weekend.
I started this audiobook on the drive home last night. I'm not impressed. Urban fantasy just doesn't do it for me, especially when it's very modern urban fantasy. I'm only in the middle of Chapter 2, so I'll give it a bit more time before I give up.
I'm a third of the way through. I'm not loving the long info dumps from the letters. I've started to skim them because I like the tone of the book and the idea. I really want it to start picking up, though. Let's get somewhere.
Was thinking of starting this as I don't want to fork out so much money for WOT 14 yet. But I really don't fancy info dumps, reminds me of Honorverse.
