I need to read Awaken too, I have a copy but just haven't made time for it. I agree with you that the series doesn't really touch my emotions too deeply, but I've had fun with it so far. Glad you enjoyed it even if it didn't knock your socks off.

Probably because of the strange and quick beginning to their romance - and you're right, it never really evened out on the end. Pierce drove me insane, but I too thought she was strongest here. This won't be my favorite series, but I was satisfied with the conclusion. Great review.

I usually make allowances for the first book in the series because I know it's just the setup. So even if I have a lower rating, I'll usually stick with the series. <br /><br />I haven't yet read anything by Meg Cabot, but it's unfortunate the ending is a bit lackluster. Glad to see you enjoyed overall, though.<br /><br />Wonderful mini review, Jenny! :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682335183798720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-32724409216614397292013-09-02T22:27:38.783-04:002013-09-02T22:27:38.783-04:00Since I love San Francisco, I'm drawn to Mist....Since I love San Francisco, I'm drawn to Mist.

You have so many books to write with character growth and whatnot and the first one really sets the tone for the world. I think Nordic names wouldn't be a problem for me--used to them since we have Norway and Sweden as practically our neighbours. I think a Nordic take on UF sounds awesome and quite rfreshing!<br /><br />Wow, the final installment didn't really make you emotional romance wise? Hmmm.. :( Glad to hear that the MC does show some growth of her own though and I'm happy that you enjoyed it in general.

I have Cabot's first book in this trilogy, so it's a little disappointing to see that the conclusion wasn't as satisfying as hoped. I'll probably skip it, in that case.

Although I don't know much about Norse Mythology, I do think it's very interesting, so I should get to this series soon. The main character sounds wonderful and promising.<br /><br />I haven't started Meg Cabot's paranormal series although I've loved a lot of her contemporary novels. It doesn't seem like something that would appeal to me in all honesty and I have seen some very negative reviews for it. I'm glad to hear that the main character has progressed, but it's a shame about you not feeling the connection between her and the love interest.<br /><br />Lovely reviews, Jenny!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-15102505470076443992013-09-02T05:56:41.097-04:002013-09-02T05:56:41.097-04:00I totally forgot about Meg Cabot's Abandon ser...I totally forgot about Meg Cabot's Abandon series.
