But these books are even richer for me because of our discussions after we've read them. I'm itching to re-read the series and take notes on what information is revealed and by whom. I remember in the first book especially, everyone having a different opinion on what happened 10 years ago. I'll for sure be letting you know. This wasn't my favorite of the 3, but it is still a strong installment and I'm dying for the finale.

If this is your least favourite but you've given it 4 stars anyway, then I'm not too worried about the rest of the books in the series. :) I adore Paula Weston.

I can BINGE! I love how character driven this series is, but the plot isn't forgotten; it's exciting, twisty, and the mythology is creative. This sounds like something I'd really enjoy. Plus, the slow-burn romance? Yes, PLEASE! I need to meet this Rafa! Even though he disappears in Shimmer, I don't doubt his ability to win me over. ;) Awesome review, K!<br /><br />Marlene @ <a href="http://www.flyleafreview.com" rel="nofollow">The Flyleaf Review</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274355208601978550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-60975149003187112452014-07-28T18:56:45.288-04:002014-07-28T18:56:45.288-04:00I'll be honest - I originally wrote this off a...I'll be honest - I originally wrote this off as being "just another angel series," but, honestly, it sounds SO much more than that! The characterization and plotting sound particularly intriguing, and I'm really looking forward to experiencing it for myself.

I've decided I'm no longer emotionally equipped to handle cliffhangers or absurdly cruel endings. I can't wait to meet these characters though, so hopefully the wait for all the books isn't too long ;-)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-54259376942801142612014-07-28T09:21:47.011-04:002014-07-28T09:21:47.011-04:00I'm always amazed by how some authors can weav...I'm always amazed by how some authors can weave such a detailed story without losing a single thread -- even as they're adding in more threads! That's a pretty high recommendation when a book is the "weakest" of the bunch and still earns four stars from you.

I am pretty surprised that even though this was your least favorite book from the series, you still gave it 4 stars. I think that really speaks volume of the series' awesomeness. I am so going to read this soon, I promise! Lovely review, Keertana!
