I wish it sucked me in more but that just might be because I'm a little too thick in my stomach area. My waist measures 40". I got a 2xl and can fasten on the first row so far.

I had trouble connecting with the voice of in some parts of this story which is disappointing because it has all the elements I adore; magic, mystery, Gods, loyalty, death, and so much more plus the author is so incredibly nice.
There plenty of times where I felt the flow of the writing and fell into the story but there were many moments where the flow stopped. The problem was mostly from the writing style, it would switch from showing us what's happening to telling us what's happening and those moments really impacted my desire to continue reading. It has all the potential in the world but feels like it was written and edited in a very short time
Despite the problems I couldn't bring myself to stop reading and after spending a few days reflecting on the overall story I believe I'll continue to the next in the series, with hope that I end up loving it or at least find out what happens.

I was really excited about the release of this book.  As always, it seems as if they always come as an unexpected surprise because of the lack of general news about release dates ahead of time (or at least I always seem to miss it).  But as much as I was jumping with excitement to dive into GODS AND ENDS, once I started I found myself easily putting it down.  So I set it aside and gave it some time to come back to it maybe at a time that was better for my mood.  Sadly, things didn't improve that much from there.

This book picks up right where DEVILS AND DETAILS left off.  I was intrigued by the story line in this one but Im not sure I loved so much the execution and the turns of events.  One of my favorite things about this series are the Gods and they were missing a bit from the story here.  Not completely, but the feel of them was certainly less.  Less jokes, less Death.  Perfect example of what I wanted more of is one of my fave quotes/moments referenced below.  I needed more of that!  In the end, it seems there might be a little switch on where the rest of the series will go especially with how things turned out in this book, but Im still holding out hope that we can get that essence back in the next installment.

But all that aside, we have Delaney Reed.  The heroine weve been coming to love throughout this series.  And shes just as great in this one.  I really do like her character and her fierce loyalty for upholding her role and protecting people.  Even at the highest cost to her.  She was one of my favorite parts of this book!  And yes, maybe a certain demon as well.  Is that wrong of me?  I kinda love those obscure characters that you don't know whether they're good or bad, or maybe just a mix of both.  So that was a refreshing addition to story.

Everything else, though, felt like it took a backseat.  The town and the romance While this was a more subdued version of Ordinary in my opinion and lacked that spark that originally attracted me to the series, Im curious to see where we go from here for sure.

More please! Will there be more about this world?, I hope so. I got hooked really fast it seems like such a tease but in a good way I'm not mad I definitely want more.

I really liked that you got to see the characters interact more before it got super serious. I would have liked it better if she had gotten a chance to grow more than I friendship and to be able to depend on more than mason and her one friend. But may be in the next installment.

This time we get to see what happens to the brother left behind when his entire family leaves Zion.  Ms. Lewis continues to make me want to know what's going to happen to these characters, as they struggle with their values and their needs and their understanding of right, wrong and home.  It ends with a bit of a cliff-hanger, and now I want to read the next one.  I am neither a Christian nor a YA, by the way, but the writing style is simple, heartfelt, and engaging, and it just sort of sucked me in.  I'm glad it did.

I am not much of a reader, but this book drew me in, and I really enjoyed it.  I found myself wanting to read more.  It would be nice to have a second book and see what happens next.  The one thing I didn't really understand was why every couple chapters it went back to his childhood, but then it just kind of fizzled out, it was a great read, but I wanted more.  I wanted to whole story from when he was little until now.  I didn't think it added or took anything away, just wish it was integrated better.  Other than that, would love to read this author again, I think he's really good.

I went in expecting a lot more than I got but it wasn't a bad book, it just felt a little lacking to me.

when I read it was a queer Cinderella retelling, I was really interested. I needed more wlw fiction in my life and queering a heteronormative narrative like Cinderella sounded amazing
the actual novel was decent. mainly, it left me wanting more. I wanted more details, more insight on the nature of the relationship aisling had with Clara, more details of aisling and kaisa falling in love, more about kaisa's life as the Kings huntress, more about the fairy world and sidhean, more about the nature of magic in humans, more about aisling's mother,  etc. in the end, it's very plot driven and the characters are left feeling a little simple
I enjoyed it tho. I'm going to give huntress a shot

Ok so I finished this a few days ago and I just needed time till I could write down words because I didn't know how I was feeling.
I expected the book to finish the way it did there were no surprises there but I felt myself forgetting what happened and how I felt through the rest of the book because I was so focused on what was going to happen in the third instalment.

I really would have loved to see a little more of Bridget's "Dates" with Trevor rather than her just telling us these had happened. Maybe I'll read Burning Choice and think oh ok that really wasn't needed but right now I feel I'm missing something that they could have given me a clue maybe not but the gloss over was kinda annoying.

I'm not sure how I'm feeling about Daniel at the moment either. I don't know if he has Bridget's best interests even though he says his motives and feelings have changed.

I'm really enjoying this series and especially the twists and turns.

Bring on Burning Choice :D

I liked the concept.  I found I wanted it more compressed with increased development.  It delivered plenty but I wanted more depth.  I thought if it were more com pressed, the reader would really become more immersed in the emotions of the action.  Tightened up, this would become even better.

I felt like I was dropped into the middle of a story and I was having to play catch up. It seemed to take a while to get a point, but once it did, the story got flowing. I felt that there was more on Skyler than her lifemate. I would have liked more about him, but at the same time, I missed several books so I felt that I missed quite a lot from Skyler. Overall a good story, but it left me wanting more.

The description of this book sucked me in, but I really wasn't sure what to expect from it.  I loved what I read and I will definately pick up a sequel if it is released.  I'm rooting for main characters and it would be nice if the story would come full circle and we could find out some more about the characters who weren't very big in this novel, but could be for the future of the story.

It was a great start but I feel like it was to short for my reading and it should continued on
