I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about this book - not quite sure whether or not I was interested enough to add this to my TBR, but your review just swayed me. Your depiction of Alina more than won me over - she sounds like a character whose journey I would definitely want to undertake with her. Fantastic review - as per usual Jenny. :)Tammy (The Book Fairy's Haven)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14199128133219847316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-61810223907706680192012-06-02T14:06:13.111-04:002012-06-02T14:06:13.111-04:00GREAT review!

My little mind has now exploded.<br /><br />I confused this book with The Book of Blood and Shadow, and since most the reviews I've read for it haven't been that positive, and I was looking forward to comparing your take, but then as I started to read your review, I realized it that it didn't sound like the same story then I realized it wasn't the same book, then I sat here stumped for a minute. Then I felt the need to explain all this to you. *sighs* <br /><br />Know any good brain doctors? If so, are they single?<br /><br />Okay, now this is a story I think I'd devour. I love the way you've described this Darkling. I'm feeling the need! And extra points for using voraciousness. You and your SEXY words, Jenny. I can't help myself. *brain lix*Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-69821614844073651722012-06-01T20:02:21.972-04:002012-06-01T20:02:21.972-04:00Your review is amazing, Jenny!
