Solid story so far. Not amazing, but not bad. Nothing we haven’t seen before but also works enough to put some genuinely horrific images in your mind. Lander is the most intriguing character of all, curious where he will end up.

Enjoying the plot so far. Both Neala & Sherri and Lander's family are intriguing, though I'm finding Lander to be the most interesting out of the bunch. Fast-paced and creepy, I'm excited to learn more about the Krulls.

The format change from blog to a traditional first person novel is welcome to help flesh things out more. I’m not sure how I feel about Stephanie as a protagonist, thus far I’m finding Sean a bit more interesting, but it’s holding my attention. Sometimes the author goes on a little too long about irrelevant details from the past, but it doesn’t stop the flow too much.

Enjoying it so far! Not the Ninth doctor's biggest fan but I'm enjoying how he's written. We get some great insight into Rose Tyler as our main character and it's easier to get a feel for her because we can see what's going on in her head. No complaints so far.

Very good so far! I really enjoy Wade as the protagonist. He's relatable, and very easy to get into the mind of. I love the different world the OASIS brings, and how it's integrated into everyone's lives. I can't wait to get further into this one.

What a hooking book this is. The characters are very dynamic and I'm enjoying how the small town community is constantly drawn to the store. Alan seems to be one of the most fleshed out characters, however I just read a fantastic chapter focused on Danforth Keeton and I think it might just be my favorite thus far!

Very much enjoying this one so far. Rothfuss captures the very essence of Kvothe, and strikes his every thought into our heads relentlessly. He's a skilled author and Kvothe is the perfect protagonist for this dark story. My favorite character so far has to be Abenthy, just because of how interesting he is.

Just started this one several days ago and I've been reading it at a quick pace (quick for me, anyway!) I really enjoy the characters and the writing with this one. Kilborn has a knack for being descriptive enough to give you a clear picture of what's going on, but not wasting time with unnecessary details.

There's a lot of different, intriguing characters. I'm pulled towards Streng at the moment!

Kind of lacking in the updates here—my apologies. But this book is very engrossing. Thane & Ciena are incredible protagonists, and I really enjoy getting inside their heads and seeing the war play out from the different POV's.

The integration with the original trilogy's storyline is fantastic as well. Thoroughly enjoying this. Also really enjoyed Thane's time with Mighty Oaken Apocalypse, that storyline rocked.

This got interesting fast. Really enjoying the play between Thane and Ciena, it's got a very intriguing style to it. I liked the fight they had over the canon, and how something like that can impact a friendship over so long. I'm really digging this so far.

Intrigued by the premise. Have to admit, upon reading that this touched on a romance aspect, I wasn't too enthusiastic to read it. However, the premise has me hooked. Thane's a tricky character to write well, I'm hoping he breaks out of the stereotypical shell he's in so far. Ciena has more to her, I'm enjoying her sections a bit more at the moment.

This is taking me SO much longer than it should to read! I'm getting back into it—still not sure on Thomas's overarching arc amongst four books, but the action and pacing in this one is steadily rising!

Really fleshing out the plot here. Thomas is an intriguing character, though I'm still firmly in the stance that the real world stuff is far more intriguing than the fantasy world. The character of Michal remains my favorite in the fantasy world, and I'm mildly annoyed by Rachelle.

Getting more and more interesting as Thomas made his plea to the CDC. The fantasy world is growing on me, as well. The Great Romance isn't the most hooking of a concept, but it's serving well as an introduction for the differences between these two worlds. Also very fond of the Michal character.

Plot's starting to pick up. Thomas is an interesting protagonist, although right now the fantasy setting holds the most interest.

Little confusing to start, but it's setting up an intriguing dual-world type story to be told. This could be great if pulled off right.

Very intriguing so far. Characters are a little stiff and generic, but it's working through it with some vivid horror imagery.
