My first time reading the Lomax and Biggs series, and it was good. I wish it had more of the cats though!

Okay, where to start. It got two stars instead of one because it kept me reading until the end. Even then, the ending sucked and I refuse to care enough to read the inevitable sequel it lead up to. I was thoroughly disappointed. I was expecting dragons who could turn into humans. I got a whiny, wishy-washy, dragon-ish (scales, and wings and a description that made me think of horrifying furry drawing attempts to make sexy, female anthropomorphic dragon-things) teen who could not follow through with anything she decided to save her life. Literally. It was torture. Jacinda, you suck at life. Also, it went down what I have referred to in other reviews as the "Twilight path". "Oh no, which guy do I choose? Cassian and flight or Will and love? I'll never talk to Will again!" *next chapter* "I can't live without Will! I shall stick by him and whine about every minute of my life!" You know what? I'm changing my rating to one star. It sucked that much.

This book was wonderful! I loved it! As someone who is terribly afraid of robots, this book brought those fears to life and made it into a great survival story of mankind vs. machine! It was a quick read because I couldn't put it down!

Be prepared for some fabulous drama! No really, big drama alert, as the characters in this book are all hormonally super-charged. Tiny sometimes is too big and fabulous for his character, while the Will Grayson's whining may belittle them more than I think the author wanted. It's a great story blown to fabulously huge proportions, so when reading it, keep in mind it won't be very realistic. If you remember that, you'll really have fun with it!

I really wish I had read the first one, but this book was a pleasant surprise when I processed it at work today. I am a fan of the Sandman comics as well as chibis and illustration. This book called out to me! It really is adorable with wonderful and bright illustrations. Also, compared to the characters and the comic that it's based off of, it really is quite humorous!

I read this with my mom as a mother/daughter book club book. We both really loved the parts Elizabeth wrote. She is a great writer! We decided this would be a nice book to read since I will be getting married next June!

What a wonderful end to a wonderful series! Really, Alison wrapped everything up very satisfyingly. I'm glad she didn't continue down the path I was afraid she was going with the Ido or Kygo. Too many books are using the Twilight and Hunger Games confused-girl-in-love theme with "Oh dear, which man do I choose? I love this man, but I also love THIS man! What ever should I do? *wilt*" Bah humbug! Anyway, thank goodness it didn't wind up like that. Although Eona really did make some silly (aka stupid) choices when it came to Ido. I often found myself chastising her character for being such a weak woman when it came to Ido since he was obviously a horrible person. Humph!
