It was going good until about half or 2/3rds and then just...wandered into unfocused. The tension felt contrived/forced (Oh--the heroine better do something stupid here to create a plot.)Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234907275906877802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577217529876781375.post-67614998078445707912011-06-23T21:03:14.793-04:002011-06-23T21:03:14.793-04:00I read this one awhile back and while I didn't...I read this one awhile back and while I didn't love it, I did enjoy it. I'm really looking forward to reading Enclave by this author as well as continuing on with this series at some point.

I'm a bit bummed to hear there's more group wandering, but hopefully it won't be as bad as it was in BD. We'll see, I guess :D<br /><br />Agreed--I'm DYING for OUTPOST to come out!! I'm surprised I prefer a YA over a UF in this situation.Tori [Book Faery]https://www.blogger.com/profile/10814935817409616951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577217529876781375.post-29064454984525750222011-06-23T11:37:00.483-04:002011-06-23T11:37:00.483-04:00Nice review!

I just finished SHADY LADY and really enjoyed it, since she seems to be a bit more focused. Still, there's a lot of group wandering...<br /><br />But ENCLAVE rocked and I can't wait for OUTPOST!!<br />Happy reading,<br />Mary @ <a href="http://bookswarm.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Book Swarm</a>Mary @ BookSwarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099395167194720599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577217529876781375.post-7550621423384578992011-06-23T08:15:09.724-04:002011-06-23T08:15:09.724-04:00Thank you Allison!

It seems the repetition in UF as of late is the snarky/bitchy heroine. <br /><br />I've also talked to a few people about this series, and the general consensus seems to be Corinne is not the most likable of heroines at times, which makes reading from her POV a bit... harder.<br /><br />Enclave is amazing. I'm hoping that Shady Lady (book 3) is going to be just as good, since it's a more recent release. Fingers crossed!Tori [Book Faery]https://www.blogger.com/profile/10814935817409616951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577217529876781375.post-77053764897789442092011-06-23T01:01:06.028-04:002011-06-23T01:01:06.028-04:00Great review - you outlined your problems with the...Great review - you outlined your problems with the book well. I've noticed a lot of repetition in my urban fantasy reads lately, and it annoys me to no end. I think I'll definitely be skipping this one, although I did love Enclave...Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16115555672589550895noreply@blogger.com
