Unless I've heard that the sequel is a brilliant improvement I tend not to continue with the series - there are so many other things to read, what can I say? If you do continue I hope you like it better and your next book is more of a success :)<br /><a href="http://enchantedbyya.blogspot.com/2016/04/arc-mini-reviews-tell-wind-and-fire.html" rel="nofollow">Enchanted by YA</a><br />Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06843689281967857645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2875242362336197892.post-59562828203949479832016-04-04T09:45:21.471-05:002016-04-04T09:45:21.471-05:00This book has been on my wish list forever.

But now after your review I'm not sure. I'm going to be meeting her in September at the NOLA Storycon, and this was what I was going to read and have her sign if I liked it. Hmm. Now I will have to think again about it.
