I’ve tried to start flock by Kate Stewart many times now. Today is the furthest I’ve gotten in, and I think I’m only on chapter 2. For some reason I just cannot get into this. But I want to push through. What’s holding me back I think is that there are three books. A couple of trusted reviewers have rated book 1 3.5 & book 2 between 3.5/4. So I don’t know if this is worth it for me to continue.
