I'm always a fan of getting books from the library. Or maybe you'll win our copy!<br /><br />Book Geek, pfft, you don't have to apologize! I suspect the fairies will play an even bigger role in the sequel, so definitely keep an eye out for it!<br /><br />Aylee, Yay for bad fairies! It was the Melissa Marr series that turned me off from fairies. I think the fairy war will be developed more in the sequel, or, at least, I hope. I'm not sure how it will work out because it seemed like everything was pretty well resolved on that front. But I guess I'll see soon enough. Have you read Paranormalcy? I think you'd appreciate Kiersten White's take on fairies :)Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-13197136976095686122011-11-15T01:07:42.745-05:002011-11-15T01:07:42.745-05:00Glad that there are no faerie romantic leads in th...Glad that there are no faerie romantic leads in this one. I'm just not a fan either. Hurray for bad faeries!<br /><br />It's a shame that the faerie war never really panned out. Perhaps the author is leaving that to develop a bit more in the sequels? I hope so, because I kind of want to give this one a go. I've had not amazing luck with faerie books and was thinking this one might be a nice change.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-50762418710404003802011-11-13T20:23:44.775-05:002011-11-13T20:23:44.775-05:00I've seen this book floating around for a bit ...I've seen this book floating around for a bit now and I must say, I'm intrigued!

For much of the book it was a struggle because I kept getting... well, bored. I hope the next one will be better.<br /><br />- Asher (from <i><a href="http://paranormalindulgence.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Paranormal Indulgence</a></i>)Marathonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998824096375362353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-72998697698879061272011-11-12T23:20:54.532-05:002011-11-12T23:20:54.532-05:00Ruby, That's fine, I'll keep Rieker for my...Ruby, That's fine, I'll keep Rieker for myself :D Calling me a Next Generation fan is an UNDERSTATEMENT. Don't get me started though. I'd probably scare you with how much I can geek out over that show :) I want masked balls too! (I'd step into my holodeck and be all, "Computer, Masked Ball. Make it so.)<br /><br />Anne, Those faeries are cute! I can do cute faeries, and I can do BAD faeries, but I don't like the feminine male faerie love interests or the creepy BAD faeries who are also love interests. You're right, they should stay in fairy tales :)<br /><br />Alex, The faeries were a surprisingly minor part of the book, so if the rest of it sounds good to you then you might want to give it a try. <br /><br />A Canadian Girl, haha nope, not even a little :P I almost wish there was more of a love triangle. Poor Leo was left all alone and I just wanted someone to scoop him up and give him a kiss. <br /><br />Jen, hehehe we can be cold hearted together >:) I've only read a few angel and mermaid books myself. I can only take them in very small doses (but I'm <i>Still</i> not tired of vampires). <br /><br />Heather, ah, well, you probably don't know it because I'm not consistent about it :P See, I don't like faeries, but then I have a whole bunch of exceptions where I do like them. Or I love to hate them (like Reth in Paranormalcy. I LOVE him, even though he's totally awful to Evie). Fairy tales are different (why? I don't know :P ) I'm really big on exceptions to pretty much every "rule" I have. <br /><br />AAaah, you are another person who loved Daughter of Smoke and Bone! I'm so scared of reading that book :O Don't worry, I'm sure I'll love your faery. :)Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-72206892551491245212011-11-12T22:30:31.353-05:002011-11-12T22:30:31.353-05:00You don't like FAERIES???

How can you say that??? You love Fairy Tales! Small you're killing me!<br /><br />That being said, I haven't read this one. It's been sitting here next to me saying, "Kristi said to read me" and yet, it sits. For me, it came with Daughter of Smoke and Bone and I truly don't know if another book will ever be able to awe me as much as that did. So since they came together I think it has a reputation to live up to. Silly me. And you don't like faeries. My NaNo story has a faery in it. You better like him. He's a hunk!<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-44951260874181695822011-11-12T18:32:40.572-05:002011-11-12T18:32:40.572-05:00Nope, you're not a cold hearted woman. Well, a...Nope, you're not a cold hearted woman. Well, at least I don't think so, but maybe that's because I am one. I would have been frustrated to. I'm on the same page with you about faerie books. I don't like a lot of them, but this one may be okay. I don't think I'm going to rush out to read it though. I kind of avoid faerie books like the plague. Same with angel books and mermaid books. I have issues, me thinks!Jen (@ Jens Book Closet)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02339586413882184139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-92076010123220758382011-11-11T17:57:42.618-05:002011-11-11T17:57:42.618-05:00Lol, the orphans didn't make you pity them?

And, I actually didn't think the on the streets stuff was gritty enough. Though, I'll admit that I LOVED the masked ball stuff.

Haha, see, when I was a kid I probably would have been all over the orphans. Orphans seemed to have such a cool life (Annie, Anne of Green Gables, The Boxcar Children). :P<br /><br />Evie, haha I didn't mind the faeries in this book. They were bad, which is exactly how I like my faeries. :) I hope you like it!Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-71030624835919260022011-11-11T08:33:43.458-05:002011-11-11T08:33:43.458-05:00I lurve me some faeries no matter how you spell &#...I <i>lurve</i> me some faeries no matter how you spell 'em!

I really like this time period and fairies don't really bother me all that much. Sounds like a win win for me. As for the Oliver Twist reaction, I felt the same way with the hundreds of orphan books I read when I was little. No wonder I was a reluctant reader back then.
