Then I usually try to wait until the whole series comes out and then read them all in one shot. I have a terrible memory and I'm really impatient, so I hate waiting a year between book releases to find out what happens next.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-86038016631065920832010-11-14T20:53:30.149-05:002010-11-14T20:53:30.149-05:00Ugh, I tend not to be a huge fan of intense cliffh...Ugh, I tend not to be a huge fan of intense cliffhanger endings either. Sometimes they can be done well but most times they just make me really angry!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-81011119905197871862010-11-14T18:46:32.546-05:002010-11-14T18:46:32.546-05:00It's good to hear I'm not alone. I've ...It's good to hear I'm not alone. I've mostly seen very positive reviews for this series. I'm glad so many people are enjoying it and I'm happy for them, but it's also nice to see some people feel the same things I do. <br /><br />If you're not in a big rush to start, that's probably better. I wish I had waiting until all the books were published, because I forget a lot of what happened in the previous books by the time the next is published. I actually thought the first book was a stand alone until I read the end and, well, it didn't end. :PSmall Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-53906823241201256912010-11-14T17:29:20.809-05:002010-11-14T17:29:20.809-05:00From the reviews that I've read of this series...From the reviews that I've read of this series, your complaints are common ones: a lack of character development and in the one character that is actually interesting, the villain, her presence is as you say, "disappointingly sparse." I haven't read the series yet but at the moment it's not very high up my TBR list. I definitely still plan on reading it but later, from the library.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.com
