@Mary-
At least ...Thanks for commenting, everyone!<br /><br />@Mary-<br />At least there's still book 3! ;)<br /><br />@Joelle-<br />You'll love it!<br /><br />@chelleyreads-<br />Lol well SHADOW AND BONE is by Leigh Bardugo, not Laini Taylor... but it's also fabulous!<br /><br />@Sara-<br />So glad you enjoyed it and that our recommendation encouraged you to read it!<br /><br />@JessicaF-<br />We have NOT read the Dreamdark books, in fact. Thanks for the recco! We've read LIPS TOUCH, though, and recommend that back to you if you haven't!<br /><br />@Sandie-<br />YES. Slow is definitely out there, but what Laini (and Maggie Stiefvater and Rae Carson and Melina Marchetta...) are doing is NOT that. ;DWe Heart YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418854853031344928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570782455185394721.post-47716573275423649602013-01-30T22:03:00.499-05:002013-01-30T22:03:00.499-05:00Completely agree, obviously!

I do enjoy fast reads and think they have a place in YA lit, but I think so many people confuse "rich" and "thorough" with "slow," and it drives me crazy. I feel like I have to convince people to read Laini and Maggie, because they only want to read the fast, easy reads.

I love characters that follow me around after I finish the book. <br /><br />You must must must read her Dreamdark books, if you haven't already. The first book is called Blackbringer. Magpie Windwitch is another Taylor masterpiece, and her world is detailed and richly-woven.

The characterization took my breath away, it was so perfect.<br /><br />And, yes, absolutely - spot on as to why Laini and her writing are incredible. :)kaye (paper reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13149323197913005984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570782455185394721.post-35625331813614554542013-01-26T12:20:11.633-05:002013-01-26T12:20:11.633-05:00AHHH!!
