I have not read many I've enjoyed the ending of in the last year.

Since it seems like we're all in agreement, I think we need to petition Kagawa and make this a thing. :)starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-2070572606207701532014-04-16T07:53:31.597-05:002014-04-16T07:53:31.597-05:00I *wish* I had the patience to wait till a series ...I *wish* I had the patience to wait till a series was complete to start it!

This must happen! :) I think from the moment we met Jackal, even when he was the evil Raider King, I still pictured him as Thor, lol.<br /><br />I hope you find a great co-blogger!

I've been trying to decide whether or not to start this series, and I think I will, if only to meet this Jackal.<br /><br />Valette M. @ <a href="http://booksnatch.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Book Snatch</a>Valette M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06636442713682043608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-6745357250738084892014-04-12T08:47:10.382-05:002014-04-12T08:47:10.382-05:00Yes!

I'd so love to know what he's really thinking in some of the moments of The Forever Song.<br /><br />And yes, to that GIF!!! That is so Jackals face/smile. Or at least how I'll always picture him now. <br /><br />I love the co-review thing. I'm currently looking for a co-blogger/reviewer myself and hoping to find someone I work as well with as you two do together. :) Xo!<br /><br /><a href="http://iheartyafiction.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Sabrina @ I Heart Y.A.

Every time I'd (finally) get back to it and start reading again, I'd find myself fairly engrossed, but it was just hard to make myself go back to it for whatever reason. As far as series endings go, I think it was solid, so I rated it accordingly. But I agree, the most consistent aspect of the story throughout the books was my man Jackal. I'd like to see his story BEFORE he met up with Allie, not where he wanders off to. :)starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-28406485698519276932014-04-11T13:33:14.259-05:002014-04-11T13:33:14.259-05:00As I'm sure you know Jen I didn't love thi...As I'm sure you know Jen I didn't love this one. It's always interesting to see how others rate books though. I'm actually shocked by the 4 stars considering the issues both of you mentioned. Anyway.... I am definitely for a Jackal spin off that character is the one redeemable and consistently likable thing about the series. I would happily just follow him wherever the path takes him.

I'm pretty happy with the direction that the story took in this final book, too. I'm also glad that I'm not the only one hoping for a Jackal spin-off. :Dstarryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-73086042871743656902014-04-11T07:27:33.886-05:002014-04-11T07:27:33.886-05:00There's a good reason why people rave about Ju...There's a good reason why people rave about Julie Kagawa...she's kind of awesome.

I especially loved her relationship with Jackal in this book. He's so great I would love to see a spin off series with him for sure. And, while I wasn't surprised about the twist, I am glad it happened. Allie was in such a slump for the first part of this book, I thought she would be so self destructive she would be done. I'm thankful that didn't happen!
