Man. Reading this after the Hunger Games, there are so many call backs (call forwards) that foreshadow Snow's future/downfall. Interesting how the games are different as well. Depressing, actually, since it's mentioned that most people don't watch them and it's genuinely about remembering the war and not about glorifying children murdering each other for sport.

Pretty good so far. Since I have already seen the movie, some of the suspense id's gone but it's still interesting and the entries in Mark's voice are very funny.

I'm loving these mini books.

Although the title is kind of embarrassing (really, haha) I've cracked up like 20 times reading this. It's clever and funny. It's a romance, so it's not particularly deep but that's not why you read books like this. Anyway, glad to have a change of pace since I last read "Monsters of Men".

although I'm liking the characters and the setting, the liberal use of the 'F' word (as well as other curse words) is seriously detracting from the story. It just plain isn't necessary and it pulls you right out of the narrative...

I started out being really annoyed by the writing style, and the endless (endless.....) lists to make her point (seriously, we get it. You don't have to list *every* emotion/promise/truth/etc) but now that I'm midway through, I'm really liking it. There's a lot of great insight once you get past the style of writing.

This book is killing me. It's soooo slow going. I don't like the sub-plot in Anderith as I find politics boring, and the characters are driving me crazy with their bickering. I loved the other three before this but I'm hoping this picks up soon....it is dragging...

Been a while since I've written. Thought I'd get some tips. Not really intending to publish but at least I can post an adequate version of Catarina's Quest online...also, apparently a quest is searching for an item, so maybe that title is a bit off lol.

Not bad so far. I actually really like their back stories and it feels more genuine than I expected

I loved the first one and this one has already brought me back to what I loved about it, so it's looking good.

Once I got past the beginning,it got much better. I'm really enjoying it now and have gotten used to the present tense, although sometimes it still annoys me.

I don't often read historical fiction so I'm having a little bit of trouble getting into this, but I picked it up because a female was the lead, and it's okay so far. I hate that it's in present tense, "She opens her eyes", "She thinks it's too cold" whatever, not exact quotes, but it's getting on me :p I'm used to past tense and it's throwing me off lol...

It's not too bad so far. Not very steampunk but eh, whatever.

love this book so much. Everyone should read this series.

"Richard stood stone still, the focus of all eyes, while he frantically tried to think of what to do next.

Yay! Finally reading the third one :D

The story is actually pretty good. Keeps you wondering what the ultimate choices are going to be for each character.

Hmm...lots of talk about sex so far. I'm beginning to wonder if that's all they talk about in this :p

There are no innocents. There are, however, different degrees of responsibility.
