Thankfully I wrote the review right after I read it because right about now, I can't remember a thing including the big important secret. christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749333368560606659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-9358745552082465522012-09-21T05:17:14.588-04:002012-09-21T05:17:14.588-04:00This is the first review of this I've read tha...This is the first review of this I've read that didn't gush over it and can I say...thank God. I liked this book okay, but I definitely didn't feel the love others seem to. It did drag in some places and the big reveal was anti-climatic after waiting for so long for it. I did like the supporting characters, though and the same-sex relationship/attraction - I saw all the hints and I knew if it was a boy and a girl, they'd be leading to a romantic attraction. I wasn't sure if Sarah Rees Brennan would go there with two girls, so I was really pleased when she did.TGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832981435264804886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-41334933311817762502012-09-20T11:42:14.987-04:002012-09-20T11:42:14.987-04:00Sorry to hear you didn't like this one.

I'm a big fan of the author's writing style which goes a long way (and I'm intrigued enough by the ending that I'd probably stick with it either way to see what's in store).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-28629418688531964402012-09-20T10:04:36.257-04:002012-09-20T10:04:36.257-04:00I read your review (and some others) before I read...I read your review (and some others) before I read the book so I knew about the secret of the Lynburns and even with that knowledge, the book still dragged on. It could have been an amusing vignette with just lots of atmosphere and little plot but to have it as a novel is a bit much IMO.The Insouciant Sophisticatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934853089105345052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-63476524402853547282012-09-19T15:13:55.578-04:002012-09-19T15:13:55.578-04:00"Which means that the majority of YA readers ..."Which means that the majority of YA readers will love this, and I will be the curmudgeonly old lady in the ratty overstaffed armchair in the corner of a drafty room furthest away from the fireplace, knitting and talking to my friends the rats and cats"<br /><br />LOL you win at review writing always and forever.April (BooksandWine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15268544465552896599noreply@blogger.com
