The King (with lots of SPOILERS)!!!!
I hate Xcor, but it was completely adorable when shopping for clothing. I almost didn't hate him for a brief second.
And thank the Lord that Beth's pregnancy did not go the Reneseme route ::big sigh of relief:: For a moment there I was having the granddaddy of heart attacks.
And Assail, I am all over that (like in a cat lying in the sun on the newspaper you are trying to read at the moment kind of way). And WTF? I cannot accept Sola in Miami and Assail in Caldwell. This BEST be the focus of Book #13....OR ELSE!
And Trez and Serena....I knew J.R. was going to leave us wanting.
90 books in 2015?

I loved Wrath and Beth. Their story was great. And like Booney, I was terrified it was going to be another Renesmee. I wanted more of them, less of everyone else. It took me while to get into the groove of Wrath Sr.s story, but I got there eventually.
I liked Sola and Assail, I just really don't like when we have these side stories that take away from the main story. I want to read a book with Sola and Assail, but I don't want it in the middle of Wrath and Beth's story. Same with Trez/Selena and iAm. I want to read their book (which is next!), but separately. I'm having trouble moving back and forth with stories.
Xcor can go DIAF. Not interested at all. Layla is such wet blanket in the last two books, I can't even deal.
There are so many characters that I think it's tough when she tries to bring them all in in some way. Also, where the heck is Mary? I feel like she's been missing since Z's book. I feel like the females are mentioned by name and never appear.
I'm happy with the way the democracy/kingship worked out. I knew Wrath wouldn't be removed, but I was please with the way it happened.
Overall, I'm struggling to give it a 4. I hate that so much. Each individual piece was at least a 4, but together, it didn't mesh for me.
I expect much hate from my post.

That said, I really did love so many parts, too. @booneybear, the clothes scene totally melted me - I was like, can this be a different character? Because as soon as that scene was over I wanted Xcor and Layla to disappear again. Layla sucks.
I loved when Beth told Wrath she was having a boy and he went totally nuts, that was so adorable. And I also love that Beth was the one to mastermind the whole takeover and the way that went down - oh and the flashbacks! That was awesome.
Seriously though, the Shadows were my favorite part. I love that Selena FINALLY got some, even though I still had the bluest effing balls over that whole thing. Also, when iAm has the "moment" with Beth in the waiting room, I fell head over heels in love with him in that one paragraph. I can't wait for their book!!!
52 Books in 2014??

Wrath's parent's...so cute!!
Am I the only one who misses some of the older shellans? We haven't heard from Mary or Cormia. I'd live them to pop up, I know they don't have much to do with this story but they do live in the same house. Rhage and Mary were one of my favorites I'd live to see what they ate up to. Many books ago it mentioned Mary wanting a baby and for Rhage to father one with a chosen. I've been curious about it since.
