Sometimes I just need a fast read between novels and this one was a nice break!

It was recommended by Goodreads so I was a little wary but I was pleasantly surprised. Great characters, world building, romance and action. It may have been a little longer than I'm used to but I enjoyed it from beginning to end and there were no boring parts. It was intense so I may wait a little before reading the rest. I'll give another one of her series a try!...more

The ending was so abrupt once again, but at least the series and characters kind of get closure. I wish we had a longer epilogue for other characters bThe ending was so abrupt once again, but at least the series and characters kind of get closure. I wish we had a longer epilogue for other characters but we only have a short story.
As a re read for a series of my youth, it was kind of a dissapointment but I hope the new series based on this same world, is better as Sophie Jordan has grown as an author....more

There were too many POVS and the end felt a little rushed after soo many chapters focused on other things. It is still a nice book but it doesn't live up to the other two.

I enjoyed the book also, and once again don't mind the "insta" nature of their love since you know later they were meant to be together from the beginning....more
It took me longer than usual to finish the book. I don't know why, but I didn't connect with it at first so the first chapters really dragged for me. It took me longer than usual to finish the book. I don't know why, but I didn't connect with it at first so the first chapters really dragged for me. Once the action started and we got to see our two heroes together it really picked up.
I thought it would be like the Magpie Lord and we would get all the books about these otp but it seems we'll be reading about the other members of the Green Man gang.
I'll definitely keep an eye on the series, it's KJ Charles after all! ;)

I came to this series after reading and loving Nell's story in Soulwood.

I didn't mind not knowing some of the background info or characters known to this series, but once I finished all the books, I knew I needed to read Jane's story. I read reviews saying it was not the same, and it's not.. Apart from being more action packed, you can see this is Faith Hunter at her beginning. I will keep on reading the rest of the series since it will be a year until we get another Soulwood book. I know everyone hates Rick so I'm interested to see what happened....more
I'm so happy with Nell and this series. her powers, her sisters and family, Occam, the Psyled family and the investigations. Now that I'm all caught uI'm so happy with Nell and this series. her powers, her sisters and family, Occam, the Psyled family and the investigations. Now that I'm all caught up I have to wait for the next book and it will be hard. I may have started Jane Yellowrock since I was curious and the series did overlap quite a lot. Not only with characters like Rick, but with big events. I do not know if I'll do the 15 books, but I'm curious enough and have a year until we get our next Nell instalment ...more
