Started off a bit slow, but I was never disinterested in the plot. Really good cliff hanger at the end.

Good story. Felt like I had a hard time getting into it
because 30% of the way into the book most of the characters your introduced to died
For good reason in the end. Glad I stuck with it.

Not my favorite Emily St John Mandel book. Definitely darker than some of her other work.

What a GOOD read. So different in terms of a vampire tale. Throughly enjoyed the heroines of the story.

I didn't start off liking this book. Wasn't until about 350 pages that I felt like the plot took a turn for the better. The romance is good in this one.

Decided to give this a book a chance since its a classic. Sci-fi isn't a genre I dabble in often. I thought this book was ok.

Best book of the whole series thus far. Spicy scenes were much better and the plot was interesting.

This book felt like a filler episode. There was no overarching plot. Just a bunch of drama subplots.

This book was ok. Not as good as the second. Too much small talk between short bursts of events. Language continues to be very repetitive.
