Reread/Audio book

Mae Whitman (aka the voice of Katara from Avatar the last Airbender) narrated this book. Nostalgia all around!

I haven't actually read this all the way through yet, but I am giving it another shot. I am 100 pages in and not very interested yet. 100 pages is usually my limit. I am not sure if I"m just burned out by YA fantasy books or if it just seems like an odd combination of all those I have already read.


Update: I tried reading it again and just couldn't do it. I did see the trailer for the movie and thought "wow, this may be the first time I like a movie better than the book version".

Sorry my friends, I think you all liked it much better than I did. Let's go see the movie together!

I clutched this book my chest and cried for a good few minutes before writing this. I loved it.

I really don’t like YA and this book wasn’t catching my attention
