The teen angst was KILLER! I mean, seriously killer. Whining and complaining nonstop. I ended up liking Firelight alot- for all the awesome romance, etc. I'm reading Vanish right now- and honestly- it's not as good as Firelight so far. I'm interested to see what you think!Read.Breathe.Relax.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05426207104218487986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322527388512357503.post-60742678803036315332011-09-08T20:56:23.970-04:002011-09-08T20:56:23.970-04:00I agree with you completely!

But despite some of its flaws, I still really liked Firelight and I'm definitely going to read Vanish, too, because I'm so curious about what's going to happen! :)<br /><br />LOVED your review, Lea!Mimi Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241457025232914551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322527388512357503.post-42538171750013437472011-09-08T07:22:58.034-04:002011-09-08T07:22:58.034-04:00This is a really good review: I feel like I know e...This is a really good review: I feel like I know exactly what this story is going to be like. I don't mind the paranormal-teen-high school stories, but there are <i>so many</i> of them at the moment and hardly any high fantasy. It seems like such a waste to start off in the world of dragons and then go to the typical high school setting. I'll probably still read this, as it's so cheap on Kindle at the moment and part of the Debut Authors Challenge, but I feel I know what to expect now.TGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832981435264804886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322527388512357503.post-28875791028517243032011-09-07T15:55:11.099-04:002011-09-07T15:55:11.099-04:00I haven't read this one, but I can see where y...I haven't read this one, but I can see where you are coming from.

But I just really disliked Jacinda's character, all she did was whine and hate her mom and sister and it became very repetitive. I definitely need to know what happens, but I didn't love it.Anna @ Literary Explorationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030647208439202308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322527388512357503.post-37299934053705591752011-09-04T11:32:38.970-04:002011-09-04T11:32:38.970-04:00I loved this book but i can undestand your problem...I loved this book but i can undestand your problems with it. I would have liked to have seen more of the draki world too. But I can understand why her mom took her away from that world, because she didn't want her to be mated off as a teen and be a "breeder". I think that was pretty important. I have pre-ordered Vanish and can't wait to read it. I hope you got the great Kindle deal that was going on the other day. Firelight for 1.99! <br /><br />http://www.deadtreesandsilverscreens.blogspot.comDThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445550272628303725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322527388512357503.post-76958245964555553482011-09-04T08:38:34.605-04:002011-09-04T08:38:34.605-04:00Oh!

I just took place in a book tour for HATTER and reviewed them (http://abackwardsstory.blogspot.com/2011/08/hatter-and-jabberwocky-by-daniel.html). They're so much fun and you should check them out if you get the chance! They're short novellas and pretty cheap if you read e-books!Bonnie @ A Backwards Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988547424004889874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322527388512357503.post-58765558973448403042011-09-04T08:32:10.650-04:002011-09-04T08:32:10.650-04:00I'm at about a 3 with FIRELIGHT as well. I th...I'm at about a 3 with FIRELIGHT as well. I think VANISH *is* going to have more to do with the draki because what's his name...the draki prince...he's said to be in VANISH in a major way. The school stuff was probably more due to the first book and meeting Will...?<br /><br />Well, we'll see!<br /><br />I found http://www.handsandhome.ca/ through today's Better Know a Blogger (http://www.fwiwreviews.net) and checked out her blog because she has the same name I do. THEN I saw a button for your giveaway and the ALICE IN WONDERLAND theme intrigued me, so I came HERE.<br /><br />I love your header and the fact that your blog is about your adventures in Libraryland. You just won my heart!! <br /><br />I thought this review was very well-thought out and will be following you now to read about your thoughts on future titles! :)Bonnie @ A Backwards Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988547424004889874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322527388512357503.post-59384894964272824532011-09-03T23:31:42.912-04:002011-09-03T23:31:42.912-04:00WHOA you're totally right, I am in shock.

I had dreams that played out like that so no kidding . . . thanks for pointing that out and for being so supportive and awesome. Fans?

I don't see myself running out to purchase Firelight. Seems like an over played plot. <br /><br />Great review.
