I appreciate Taylor's writing, but I haven't been a fan of her *story*. However, I hope it works for you, and you love it as much as you did the first book!Steph Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834692034486125015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-42749003040158071782013-03-19T00:01:09.518-04:002013-03-19T00:01:09.518-04:00I totally agree with this!

I gave up reading it and started flipping the pages.

I can definitely understand why the combination of those aspects did not work for you, but I'm kind of hoping that it'll be different for me, especially since I went out and bought the second book. I guess I'll find out soon enough. Sorry this didn't work out for you, Steph! (Maybe Taylor will make a comeback in the third book?)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-16362506175155430642013-03-18T04:11:20.533-04:002013-03-18T04:11:20.533-04:00I seem to be in the minority when it comes to Days...I seem to be in the minority when it comes to Days of Blood and Starlight, so I dunno, maybe you'd like it? I don't want to discourage people from reading books with my reviews, but maybe just to help you curtail your expectations! :)Steph Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834692034486125015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-46247032312674897042013-03-18T04:05:03.609-04:002013-03-18T04:05:03.609-04:00I think you'll be just fine without reading th...I think you'll be just fine without reading the second one! :)Steph Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834692034486125015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-73613588529871066712013-03-18T04:04:26.374-04:002013-03-18T04:04:26.374-04:00Well, fortunately--in a dark kind of way--it seems...Well, fortunately--in a dark kind of way--it seems like many books-to-movies that were supposed to be franchises (His Dark Materials, maybe now Beautiful Creatures) don't make it to their second movie, on account of not doing well. I think I'd like the first one to be good enough, but not good enough to make a second, heh.Steph Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834692034486125015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-52306770259785956402013-03-16T11:17:28.228-04:002013-03-16T11:17:28.228-04:00I loved the first book!

I wasn't all that thrilled with book 1 to be honest, but I enjoyed it well enough to consider continuing until I started hearing the bad reviews.

This one really let me down.<br /><br />Did you hear about the movie news?
