83. Midnighters: Touching Darkness by Scott Westerfeld
- Fire was good, but for all the hype I heard about it, I didn't like it as much Graceling. I just think it was too slow moving compared to the first book, even though I did like the world building in the Dells and some of the characters. I think there could have been some serious trimming of the book; there's just a lot of boring exposition and repetition. I do like Kristen Cashore's work in general because of her heroines and a lot of the feminist topics she manages to address in her books.
- Red Riding Hood is the book based on the new movie coming out and it really sucked. My full rant on this book is on my YA blog here. If you were following me on Twitter, you probably got the full brunt of my disgust for that book.
- For all the hype about Emma Holly, Menage kind of let me down. I was too busy giggling about her crazy euphemisms to enjoy the smut properly.
- Liked the second Midnights book better than the first. Bought the third as well. Scott Westerfeld, keep being awesome.
Currently reading: Midnighters: Blue Moon by Scott Westerfeld. Only a handful of pages in, and I'll probably finish it tomorrow.
