I felt so much of the book was what Sarah wanted to be if she could be a book character in a fantasy world. Which I can sympathize with. Looking forward to what you think of that.

I do enjoy well written YAs (like Paranormalcy) but this one was awful. I'm really nervous to read Throne of Glass now! It's on my to read list O.o Thank you for your comment BTW :)Kelsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933817355110270921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280047428470881795.post-71651676068513831402013-09-20T06:58:21.076-07:002013-09-20T06:58:21.076-07:00I think this review covers a lot of the main probl...I think this review covers a lot of the main problems I have with most YA books, not just this one in particular. (I haven't read this series, but now I have an idea of what's going on) <br /><br />Not to say YA is a bad genre, it does a lot of good for a lot of people. It just seems after a point some authors (light term) seem to just cater to selling the book without caring about story structure. I personally have a hard time reading most YA books. Throne of Glass? I struggled through it. It wasn't a bad book. It was wonderfully written. The characters really just... annoyed me. <br /><br />But, like with any story, it just wasn't for me. Was it bad? No. Just not my cup of tea. <br /><br />Good analysis, very thorough. Keep up the good work and keep dredging on.
