I'm sorry...I agree, these covers are beautiful! I'm sorry this book didn't wow you! It's definitely a favorite of mine, but the author is very vague about information for a long time. I loved the human dramas between the characters and I felt so much for Gaby as she tried to piece together who she was. Her choices definitely annoyed me a times in this book, but I connected with her way better in Haze. It's hard when everyone raves about something and you just don't fully connect. I hope the sequel works better for you! I'm waiting impatiently for my copy of book 3 to arrive. Maybe today!

It seems like an entertaining read, but if I can't connect to the characters I'm not very into a book. Still, I do love angel mythology, so Shadows does seem to be worth a try!<br /><br />Thanks for the review!<br /><br />-P.E. @ The Sirenic CodexAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17045558423044874125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-23322924924879672532014-07-14T22:49:51.146+03:002014-07-14T22:49:51.146+03:00I don't this i've thus far ever really LOV...I don't this i've thus far ever really LOVED an angel book, it's difficult to find angel stories that actually wow me and that i can connect with *sigh* While i also love this cover it's a shame this one wasn't quite what you wanted :( Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-77620424437235955332014-07-14T21:06:25.049+03:002014-07-14T21:06:25.049+03:00This right here is why I still haven't read Gr...This right here is why I still haven't read Graceling Siiri! I think you hear from so many people how amazing a book is, and no book can ever live up to that kind of hype, no matter how good it is. I'm sorry this one didn't work as well for you as it did for others, but I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to continue on with the series. I look forward to seeing what you think of the next 2!

It happens to me all the time! I was super wary when I went into this book, so I think it's why I enjoyed it so much. It's interesting how Gaby didn't work for you because I loved the girl and connected very well with her. Also Rafa! <3 All the swoons! I haven't read book 2 just yet, but I'll be reading it soon now that book 3 is out in Australia! I agree with you on Aussie writers. They have almost of a signature writing style and it's hard to get into at first, but for me, once I got into the writing, I seriously got into the writing! :D <br />I'm sorry this was disappointing for you! :( Hyped books don't often work for you, do they? <br />Great review, Siiri! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957870564580513499.post-17319759236761261012014-07-14T12:52:39.677+03:002014-07-14T12:52:39.677+03:00I got a review copy (unsolicited) for the third bo...I got a review copy (unsolicited) for the third book...buuuut, I hadn't read any of the firsts.
