WIROV: Into The Still Blue, Throne of Glass, and Breaking Night (NS)

What I Read On Vacation:

Into The Still Blue: I enjoyed this book, and I enjoyed the series. I read the entire book in one sitting at the pool, and it kept my interest. I <3 Roar. The world was original, different from any other books I've read. I do like YA Sci-fi, and this fit the bill perfectly. 

Throne of Glass: I picked this up at the airport bookstore when our plane was delayed, and had no idea what to expect. I ended up liking it. I have two beefs with it - The heroine is SO VAIN. She's like a Bratz doll turned assassin. The world was not fleshed out nearly enough. You get the information you need to understand the plot, but that's about it. All that being said, I still was interested enough to want to find out what happens. And I really loved some of the secondary characters enough that I could ignore my minor annoyances with the main character. I will pick up the next book in the series.

Breaking Night: A Memoir of Forgiveness, Survival, and My Journey from Homeless to Harvard: I am only about 52% into this book, but so far, it's a great read. At times it isn't easy to read, as the author watched her parents slide farther and farther into their drug addiction from  a very early age. (By five, she could easily explain exactly how to mainline cocaine. I am excited to finish this one.

  • I'm so glad to hear that you liked Into the Still Blue I really liked the first 2 books and was hesitant to read this because I didn't want some crappy ending to a series that I enjoyed. I'll have to bump it up the TBR list.

  • Just finished Into the Still Blue Monday.  I was happy the way the series ended.  I was worried it wouldn't be as good as the last two but it was.  Love Roar too.

  • I've been waiting to read Into the Still Blue. I've really enjoyed that series so far.

    Throne of Glass: The main character is very arrogant in book 1, but she gets better throughout the series. I'm anxiously waiting for the next book.

    That is so good to hear. I'm even more excited to get into the second book now.
