I think these later books have been a bit rushed because there is way more edits needed in this and the Fangs series compared to Mina and Bree’s stories. Lots of silly grammatical mistakes that are dampening my enjoyment somewhat.

Look, the story is ok. But I’m doubting the author has ever stepped foot into rural Australia when she continually refers to “barns.”
Just no. No one in Australia calls them barns. It’s a shed. A shearing shed if you’re watching h to e shearing. Not a barn. Come on.

It is truly terrifying to think how easily women were incarcerated once upon a time. And how difficult it is to prove sanity and be released.

About 3/4 of the way through.
I’m getting very frustrated with the age-old “young woman thinks she can handle everything on her own and goes against all good advice just to wind up in danger” that could easily be avoided if they weren’t so dumb, even though they’re meant to be super smart. How many times does she have to do it? Almost makes me want to abandon the rest of the book.

I was trying to listen to this as an audiobook but I had to abandon it because the author couldn’t seem to use any other word to describe the characters’ speech except “said.”
Gets old really fast when the entire dialogue is “what?” I said.
“Blah de blah.” She said
“Oh.” I said.
“Blah de blah blah” she said.

For goodness’ sake get a thesaurus!

Laini Taylor weaves words into fantastic worlds like no one else can. All things seem possible when you read her books. Just love.

Third of the way through. I’m just so annoyed with how she’s treating her partner and living a lie. I understand her reasons but it’s just so awful to him.

Have to return to the library but I might get it out again one day.

I usually enjoy Robert Dinsdale’s books, but I am thoroughly bored with this one. Not sure if it’s because I’m listening to the audiobook and if I read it properly my opinion would change but I am really struggling with this one.

First question- why do mermaids need staircases?

Listening to the audiobook version. Not enjoying the narrator, she is reading it all very hesitantly as though every sentence is a question.
The story is intriguing enough to warrant continuing with it though.

Ugh. The typical beautiful girl who just doesn’t realise how beautiful she is and has masses of boys in love with her. Oh but how can I decide? And now I’m turning into a vampire if I suck my true love’s blood! But which is my true love?!
Started off with an interesting premise but I can’t bring myself to continue.

So I was enjoying it at the start, thought it might be a little different.

Right now I'm about halfway through.
The main squeeze has just declared that all the male creatures are hunting her because of her intoxicating smell, but they'll all back off when he declares her as his, and I just can't even... will have to come back to it when I feel like something mindless.

Bored bored boring. I might or might not come back to it.

It's all very clever and whimsical but oh so long winded. Given up for now.

What I read to put me to sleep at night. About 3 pages at a time will do it.

Interesting, enjoying it... realised the sequel is another year away. Shall put it aside before I get too far gone.
