And it was very different from the first book, which I thought might have made the difference for me, but I think it's because of this that I enjoyed it even less. Ha! I'm glad you like my postulating...I think it would definitely make the next book more interesting.starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-12352449962508094012016-03-25T09:38:33.972-05:002016-03-25T09:38:33.972-05:00I know some probably WON'T like the turn the l...I know some probably WON'T like the turn the love triangle has taken in Map of Fates, but I am sooo on board. And I agree that The Heir and the Spare was cute to an extent, but it seriously read like a very young YA novel and not at all like a seasoned college students exploits in England. Glass Sword is a VERY different story from Red Queen, so I wish you luck with it!starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-17126479892798809692016-03-25T09:36:17.494-05:002016-03-25T09:36:17.494-05:00I can actually tolerate most love triangles, lol. ...I can actually tolerate most love triangles, lol. So, I wouldn't say I'm brave...I just have a high tolerance. :) Yeah, I'd pass on the other two, as well. :Pstarryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-8819850666470084642016-03-25T09:34:34.876-05:002016-03-25T09:34:34.876-05:00Ugh...I know...it really did feel like a knock-off...Ugh...I know...it really did feel like a knock-off of The Princess Diaries. But not nearly as cute. I really hoped Glass Sword would redeem this series for me, but I have little hope after it. Of course, I know my curiosity will get the best of me and I'll end up reading it anyway, lol.starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-23328702247946140952016-03-25T09:25:50.855-05:002016-03-25T09:25:50.855-05:00I'm so incredibly sad that you didn't like...I'm so incredibly sad that you didn't like Glass Sword! I read it over my spring break and absolutely loved it. However, I do agree that there isn't much action in this book. That's one thing I thought it was lacking. Also, I kind of love your theory about Mare developing Stockholm Syndrome. I think that would add so much intrigue/confusion/excitement to the story.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231593895792741140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-10115685060585290972016-03-23T08:57:44.174-05:002016-03-23T08:57:44.174-05:00I didn't read a lot of your first and third re...I didn't read a lot of your first and third reviews, because those are ones I can't wait to read. Very excited to listen to the first one, I'm interested to see how the love triangle aspect plays out in it. The 2nd book, The Heir and the Spare, I really liked it, but I can see your points on the execution and research needing a bit of work. But it was a cute story. I did really like Red Queen, so hopefully I'll like Glass Sword better than you did. Great reviews!Buffywnabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941527768622352259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-39271561878545883382016-03-22T17:30:19.676-05:002016-03-22T17:30:19.676-05:00No. No. No. Lol.

But ugh when you can tell it's not well researched or just cut and paste from a tv movie, it's so distracting. I liked Red Queen a lot but I've heard such mixed things about Glass Sword that I'm wary. We'll see if I continue reading!Morgan @ The Bookish Beaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05455877395068242798noreply@blogger.com
