Such slow progress :(. I'm too busy these days.

I'm so excited to finally be reading this book!

I guess what they say is true... You really don't know what you got till it's gone. I was too busy enjoying the good times, and now everything in the plot is all messed up! Why, Sarah? (J. Maas). Why do you have me feeling like this?

Chaoooool Westfalll! He's finally getting what he deserves! I'm really curious as to what's happening to Dorian, and Nehemia is stressed out. The plot is pretty thick now, and I like it. There's never a dull moment.

I'm actually IMPRESSED with Celaena's intergrity right now. What she's doing for her "victims" is very honourable.

I'm currently listening to the Throne of Glass audiobook (From Audible.com) and it's freaking great!

-"Sometimes", I quoted Dr.Kronen, "humor is all we have to keep the wolves of insanity at bay"
"I think it's a little late for you" Genevieve told me, and retreated into the kitchen with the now empty tea tray. Bitch.-

I love it when Luna gets dissed :).

I feel like I've said this before... But I have to say it again... Luna is just... So... UNGRATEFUL. I can't even take it any more.

I don't know what it is about this book... I don't love it, and I don't hate it... I don't regret my time reading it... I don't know... I just feel really indifferent about it.

Still very slow reading. I really wish I knew how to get out of this slump :(. The books is still pretty cool, but I don't really understand why everything is happening is happening to Richard at once. Well... In the same day. It seems like Kahlan is bad luck!

Okay... I'm trying to read again. So far this book is actually pretty good. I was afraid to borrow it from the library because I had such a bad experience with Shadwomarch, but this book is completely different. I can already tell that this book will be as good as, or better than Mage's Blood.

I'm having such a hard time reading again... I don't know what it is, I just can't get motivated to do it :(.

Oh no... More development on Rachel's dreaded unmarked vampire bite. I really hate this thing! If Ivy is now Piscary's scion, he should just influence her (from prison) to bite Rachel once and for all! I'm allowed to dream. Rachel's date with Kisten should be interesting though, he is my favorite after Ivy. I wish I was half as suave as he is :/.

Wow, so much is happening so fast. It's great though. Even though Rachel continues to tick me off, I still get to read about Ivy and Kisten. I feel bad for Nick, even if he breaks up with Rachel, he'll still have to suffer each time she draws on a ley line.

Ahh, it feels great to be reading this book. I've been in a reading slump lately, and I think that this book is just what I need. I tried reading Night Life to branch out and see what another UF series could offer me, but I'm not really feeling it 100%. Right away, this book has me engaged. I might return to Night Life someday though, because I don't hate it, and I care about the story. Luna is just... Too bitchy.

Hm... I'm starting to hate how caustic Luna is. She's pretty much mean to everyone, including Sunny and Mac, who are nothing but nice to her. Seriously, Dmitri is a CRIMINAL, and even HE is nicer than Luna. I know that she says she acts like a bitch when she is feeling vulnerable, but so far it seems like she's a bitch 24/7.

Wow, I really like how grimy and run-down Nocturne City is. Luna is pretty badass, getting into fights, kicking in doors... I think she's really cool. Caitlin Kittredge also demonstrated her understanding in two important fields, but I think I will keep those a secret for my review :). Luna and Sunny are my favorite characters so far. And then Mac... Mac's a good guy.

I'm lining this story so far. The world seems fairly similar to the way Cincinnati does in The Hollows. Which is GREAT because The Hollows was my first introduction into the urban fantasy genre, and I really like it a lot.
I don't know if it's Luna's moonphase being off... But so far she seems very impulsive and angry, which I don't like. This is the main problem I have with Rachel Morgan in The Hollows.

This book seems pretty good so far.

I understand a lot more now. Which is good. I've also learned that I'm not a very big fan of Ann Leckie's writing style. I get that One Esk (Breq) is a very stoic character, but Ann Leckie's writing feels very stoic to me as well. I don't like that she doesn't give many visual descriptions. I'm not a hater, but right now I'm feeling like this book is overrated.
