Give them another chance. It's definitely slow at the moment, so I really hope it picks up soon!Giselle @ Book Nerd Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00220976183733996936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-22728827277165767022012-09-17T11:04:58.858-04:002012-09-17T11:04:58.858-04:00YES!

"Intriguing" is definitely the perfect word, I just never quite new what the next page was going to hold in store for me and I loved that about it. It was definitely slow at times, but like you said, the characters were just so brilliant that I didn't mind in the least:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-15449254837992006032012-09-17T00:06:48.397-04:002012-09-17T00:06:48.397-04:00Ooh yes, totally.

But I love <i>smart</i> writing, where you feel engaged and like the writing is something special, without having to look up words or dig deep for symbolism. It's smart writing, but the symbols and amazingness just comes to the surface as you read it.<br /><br />And YES I did see the car concept! So so awesome!Ashley @ Book Labyrinthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395484656811182553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-39923989757060395282012-09-17T00:05:28.391-04:002012-09-17T00:05:28.391-04:00I seem to have got it at the last minute, yah!

I think it was one of those that got released but wasn't actually on the front page when it was first there (if that makes sense).<br /><br />Hope you love it! =)Ashley @ Book Labyrinthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395484656811182553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-81363905313623890832012-09-17T00:04:42.935-04:002012-09-17T00:04:42.935-04:00Haha yes... the cover is awesome, just not necessa...Haha yes... the cover is awesome, just not necessarily appealing to me. ;)Ashley @ Book Labyrinthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395484656811182553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-38493685546607342042012-09-17T00:04:19.417-04:002012-09-17T00:04:19.417-04:00It's definitely different in setting from Scor...It's definitely different in setting from Scorpio (that island really can't compare with anything!), but I think the feel of the writing was the same, in that it totally captivated me and made me feel like part of that world.Ashley @ Book Labyrinthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395484656811182553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-83994524031763412642012-09-16T21:26:23.336-04:002012-09-16T21:26:23.336-04:00Most definitely on my reading pile.

Did you see her race car that she's building with The Raven Boys cover emblazoned on the side?

And I love the cover for this one -- of course, if you hate birds, the cover might be a little freaky. :) <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this!
