It is so large and many of the characters don't have a defining role in this book and I found myself bored when the story switched away from Evie's point of view a lot of this book could have been cut out! I liked it but didn't LOVE it.Heidi@Rainy Day Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984216720423826256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060553175484378395.post-51414935807980414962012-11-26T11:31:07.330-08:002012-11-26T11:31:07.330-08:00That Aussie cover is SO gorgeous.

As usual, the US cover is bland, boring, and utterly unremarkable, while the Aussie cover is just STUNNING. Anyhow, terrific review, darling! Even though you didn't completely love it, I'm glad you found bits and pieces of the story that you did enjoy. :) Personally, Libba Bray is one of my fave authors and I loved this book Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060553175484378395.post-20754780554296977072012-11-24T20:57:59.475-08:002012-11-24T20:57:59.475-08:00I'm making it my goal to finish this book tomo...I'm making it my goal to finish this book tomorrow!

I'm sorry to hear that it made you feel disconnected from them. The characters, especially Evie, sound great! I like mysteries, so I will give this one a shot. Wonderful review Celine.<br />Mel@Thedailyprophecyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516514938771433319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060553175484378395.post-83898787334716779212012-11-24T04:32:00.292-08:002012-11-24T04:32:00.292-08:00Aw, what a shame that you felt disconnected from t...Aw, what a shame that you felt disconnected from the overall plot. I can understand how that could be the case. I definitely felt it a little bit when I was reading... kind of frustration when you're left hanging in a perspective and you just want to know what happens next to those characters. It can break up the pacing at some points, but I just loved it all. Nice review.

I've heard great things about Evie and I'm glad to hear you connected with her so much. I can't wait to meet her. I'm sorry you didn't love it as much as hoped but at least you still enjoyed it.
