I'm looking forward to getting back to this world. It sounds like I may enjoy Rise more than Rift. We'll have to see ;) Brilliant review!<br /><br />Lisa | <a href="http://www.readmebookmarkmeloveme.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Read Me Bookmark Me Love Me</a>Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239321289629390609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-27801189114961935862012-12-28T16:30:26.175-05:002012-12-28T16:30:26.175-05:00I love strong woman who are willing to step out of...I love strong woman who are willing to step out of the role society has cast for them!

Every time someone writes about it in a positive way, I start wondering what the heck is wrong with me... and you especially can be very convincing.

I guess I'm just worried that this won't be as amazing as Nightshade was so I just keep putting the Prequel series off. I guess I should stop doing that and get to reading it already because it sounds awesome.<br /><br />Thanks for the great review, I hope you enjoy the rest of this prequel series.

I loved Nighshade, but after the turn the latter two books in the series took, I was pretty worried the sequels to Rift would go the same way. All the reviews I am seeing are pretty much saying they don't, which has me REALLY excited to get this.<br /><br />So glad I pre-ordered it!

Glad you loved it too:) I was really pleased with this one, I thought we might get the standard second-book formula where the main couple separate and a new love interest steps in, and while that does happen a little bit, Alistair is never a true romantic interest for Ember. It's Barrow all the way:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.com
