I loved the idea of the Coldtowns and how they are so similar to the "ghettos" from World War II; and I really enjoyed Gavriel's dark side. But that's why blogging is so great--you can see the different opinions on a book and see that different books appeal to different types of readers!<br /><br />Jennifer<br />YA SisterhoodJennifer @ YA Sisterhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03170507506034687589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622073970993395238.post-58373220033286169022013-07-08T16:42:30.104+02:002013-07-08T16:42:30.104+02:00So sorry that you weren't able to enjoy this C...So sorry that you weren't able to enjoy this Carina, but I truly appreciate your honest opinion, sometimes the same book isn't for everybody and I can full get why this book didn't work for you. The lack of connection with characters is always my biggest flaw when it comes to reading and not having that at all, really would disappoint me too. I hope your next read is a lot more enjoyable! :)Jasprithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346050783201302967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622073970993395238.post-72773528899189415212013-07-08T16:34:31.747+02:002013-07-08T16:34:31.747+02:00I don't think I've ever seen you rate a bo...I don't think I've ever seen you rate a book 1 star before, which makes me nervous! I'm reading this soon, but I'll definitely make sure I lower my expectations now, particularly as I know we enjoy the same sorts of books most of time. I hope I have better luck with Tana than you did though - I'm not too keen on the sound of her so far. Thanks for your honest thoughts, Carina. I'll keep all your points in mind! :)Sam (Realm of Fiction)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04440380021875536125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622073970993395238.post-19067298259604719962013-07-08T07:59:06.914+02:002013-07-08T07:59:06.914+02:00This happens to me quite often, I am underwhelmed ...This happens to me quite often, I am underwhelmed about a book that everyone else is gushing about, 5 stars everywhere you turn. It makes me wonder if I am somehow missing something that everyone but me is able to see or connect to. I guess it just comes down to taste, everything doesn't work for everyone. I love Holly Black too so I can imagine how disappointed you feel that this particular book failed to impress. Good luck with your next read!

I am/was very excited about reading this one and I will give it a try but I really hoped to love it--not sure since you had such a bad response to it. Thank you for the honest review.
