Same! I skimmed the whole thing because I couldn't get through it.

Requiem was horrible too so I never finished the Delirium series.

Days of Stars and Light or whatever the second Daughter of Smoke and Bones series is called...

Under the Never Sky and Jane Eyre. They just started off boring and plain and there were some many more important books on my list to read so I abandoned them, but I'll probably try them again later

I loved under the never sky! It's one of my favorites!

It sounds like a very good book and I'll probably try it again later. Is the second one good? That might push me to try to read the first one again


message 40: by Erica (new)

Erica (ericaevernight) Read it to see for youdself. Best advice I've given all day.

I liked the second one alot. I do admit there are some slow parts in the book, but they usually only last for a few pages. There is also more action in the second book.

Cait (caitolorca) | 4 comments The Matched series, and I stopped reading the Divergent series about halfway through Insurgent. I just got frustrated and bored.


message 43: by Chelsea (last edited Feb 11, 2014 08:36AM) (new)

Chelsea B | 348 comments Ok I read Matched twice. The first time I read it, I really enjoyed it, but ten second time I HATED IT! I think the reason that I liked it the first time was because the book I had to read for school sucked, so anything seemed good compared to that! I gave the second book a chance, but there was no way I could finish it :(

Yes! Definitely worth it. The first couple chapters are a little slow but after that it takes off.

Clockwork Angel gets better! The Clockwork series is focused around the beautiful writing, the pretty setting, the drama, and the characters. There is action, just not as much as some other series.

TMI is more humor, action, and worldly problems.
