At first I was bummed that it wasn't a full on Fantasy, with more detailed writing but for a YA Fantasy, it was down well. I'm so impressed with Abercrombie's storytelling that I decided to read some more of his work. Currently I'm reading, The Blade Itself, book one is The First Law series. So far, so AMAZING!<br />Love your blog! <br />New Follower xoxo<br />Michelle @ <a href="http://www.bookhangoversbb.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Book Hangovers Blabs Books</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14430439160444173950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1682866082765759474.post-23929758026703546852014-07-23T23:15:35.745-04:002014-07-23T23:15:35.745-04:00I actually haven't heard of this one before, b...I actually haven't heard of this one before, but I love a good fantasy novel. I do worry that the romance aspect fell flat, but overall, it sounds pretty solid!

Thanks for pu...I haven't heard about this book. Thanks for putting this on my radar, especially when I'm craving good adventurous fantasy. Yarvi sounds like I might like him, and the gender switch is another interesting aspect. I'm curious to see how the whole story is played out. Although, this book didn't impress you as much as you anticipated it to be, I hope the rest of the series, assuages that feeling. Gorgeous review, Courtney!! :) <a href="http://honeybeeslittlecorner.wordpress.com">Honey Bee's Little World</a>https://www.blogger.com/profile/05665574587520464404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1682866082765759474.post-12595032825484462972014-07-23T09:18:40.915-04:002014-07-23T09:18:40.915-04:00I read the first part of this and definitely found...I read the first part of this and definitely found the romance to be lacking in depth and though the plot twist has captured my interest, I'm fairly certain I've guessed another plot twist already since the deceptions seem to be along the same vein. Still, I'm glad that despite a few issues you still enjoyed this and I hope my predictions won't ruin my ability to enjoy the rest of the novel.Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1682866082765759474.post-52720787519425308802014-07-22T19:49:43.624-04:002014-07-22T19:49:43.624-04:00I felt very similar to you on this book - I read i...I felt very similar to you on this book - I read it fast and it was interesting, but in the end I was just not very impressed. This book just wasn't as memorable for me. (and incidentally my review is going up tomorrow!)<br /><br />I did enjoy the camaraderie with his quirky friends though - I thought it was the best part of the book. Hopefully the next book in this series is better!Bookish Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16028950059555351758noreply@blogger.com
