Heather When you get that time machine up and running .. me and Rachelle have a list of things we would like to do ... mostly getting our grubby little hands on books not yet released! Girls trip!


âœÓù²¹³¦³ó±ð±ô±ô±ð✶ I found a time machine and a super cute time lord to go with us.... =) =) =)

Perfect !


Laurie –Read Between The Skylines– I want it so bad I might faint *-*


Marguerite (M) YES
My heart is beating super fast and I can't stop smiling like an idiot !
I'm so happy we got the cover, it's so pretty ! But it's like in forever. Twenty five years at least !


Laurie –Read Between The Skylines– I'm so eager I can't read anything anymore. I just can think of how I need to be reunited with this book!

If I could stop reading, I would totally feel that way. I think I might die when I get my hands on it.


Laurie –Read Between The Skylines– I just can't think about anything other than this baby coming up <3<3
I'm utterly obsessed and wrecked by the waiting

I wanted to take time, so I started last monday (the 17th), telling myself that I would have 1 week to re-read each one. And I finished both in 5 days. I don't know what to do with myself anymore :'(

Is re-re-reading them would make me sound insane?


âœÓù²¹³¦³ó±ð±ô±ô±ð✶ AHHHHHHHHHH I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!


Marguerite (M) Laurie –A Court of Books� wrote: "Is re-re-reading them would make me sound insane?"

No, i don't think it would. Books do not make us insane, just pretty intense and excited. No worries.

Rachelle wrote: "AHHHHHHHHHH I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!"

yes yes yes yes yes yes
six days is six days too long ffs!
But between the release date and the time i finish the book, i'm staying the hell away from goodreads!


Laurie –Read Between The Skylines– An extract! We have an extract (beginning of chapter one)

Mercy Sarah please!


Marguerite (M) Laurie –A Court of Books� wrote: "An extract! We have an extract (beginning of chapter one)

I don't think i can read it. If i do, i think my life will stop til i'm reading the whole book.

I hesitated first as well, but it actually relieved me ^^
Soon, so sooooooon


Laurie –Read Between The Skylines– MARGUERITE YOU CAN READ THE 7 FIRST CHAPTER OF ACOWAR (click on "read a sample")


Marguerite (M) omg omg omg seven chapters !!!!


Laurie –Read Between The Skylines– What? What's wrong? You didn't like it???


Marguerite (M) Laurie –A Court of Books� wrote: "What? What's wrong? You didn't like it???"

I don't really know. I wouldn't say i didn't like it, because i'm glad i read it, but i certainly didn't love it and i'm very disappointed :(

Oh no! My god I'm sorry, I hope I'll continue to be satisfy by it...


Marguerite (M) i hope you will too! but you should not worry too much, if you liked it from the begining : it only gets better.


message 23: by Mizuki (new)

Mizuki Are you telling me there will be even more smuts than in the second book, Marguerite? That's a bad news.


Marguerite (M) Mizuki wrote: "Are you telling me there will be even more smuts than in the second book, Marguerite? That's a bad news."

Yes more! But the thing is that in the 2nd book it actually kind of made sense. In book 3 it seems it's only here to fill pages.


BabyLunLun That god damn war really took longer than necessary!!

Hahahaha, not a surprise, not a surprise; since SJM is so into allowing her perfect couple to have the most perfect sex all the freaking times!

Lema there there :( I tried to lower my expectations and still I was disappointed too!
(view spoiler)


Lauren (Shakespeare & Whisky) I actually liked the greater complexity in the characters but totally agree with everything else in your review. The mate thing and the constant obsession over and over with reminding everyone how much they love each other� argh. There is a reason romance books end when the main love interests get together. It becomes boring very quickly.


Becky Warning SPOILERS AHEAD because I'm on mobile:

I definitely thought it was a copout that basically nobody stayed dead except the dad we hardly knew anyway. Much as it would have hurt, at least it would have felt like some sacrifice was made.

I read your spoiler and I am not surprised to learn (view spoiler) in this book, because.................she is such a Mary Sue, every man need to be obsessed with her/lust after her blah blah blah.

Okay then. But SJM's so-called 'a bit toned down' level of Mary Sue worshipping is still enough to make me puke during ACOMAF

Well sicne I found ACOMAF to be the best book out of all three, and with the growing disappointment in ACOWAR I can guess then that you won't be happy with it since 95% is Feyre and only like 5% dedicated to the other side characters which were ten times more interesting than the main couple!


Marguerite (M) Min wrote: "That god damn war really took longer than necessary!!"

I was kind of expecting epic battles not so things throwed at us. More war, less everything!

My expectations were sure too high! I freakin loved ACOMAF, it was fantastic!

I agree, i often drop the books once they're together xD
But yes, they're in love we get it and except Tamlin : nobody cares, everyone is happy for them.

A comment like this came from a reader who rated this book 4 stars, things are already looking grim for me.

PS: I'm interested to read about Feyre's sisters, but I don't think even them can motivate me enough.

yes exactly
i loved feyre but she took to much place in this book. She was everywhere doing absolutely NOTHING. She couldn't even success at being a Mary Sue

it would have been so much better!

Nesta is my fav character, and I hope she will have her own book because she deserves so much more.
Elain, on the other hand, i found her totally useless. She does have a role, but her freakin friends and family are so out of it it's useless.

Nesta is a darling! But I won't put my hope too high on any other character outside of Feyre (or maybe Rhysand) getting their own book! Because SJM's books has to be about the Mary Sue and the Goddamn Perfect Couple! *smirks*

Yeah that really annoyed me too. Let people die and quit it with the mate thing. Originally I thought mates were meant to be really rare, but it seems now that everyone has a mate, it is very common apparently.

I still really enjoyed it. I found the quality of the prose to be a lot better.


message 40: by Lema (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lema LOL! I confess if Feyre's screentime was cut by half she would have been the perfect heroine since I really liked her development, but too much becomes TOO MUCH!
Elain even though she was useless she was still in character so she was fine with me (view spoiler)
As for Nesta, she was why I was anticipating this book so much, I still love her a lot but she didin't appear enough!! I need a whole book for her alone!

Plus can anyone remember whether the term 'mate' had been mentioned in ACOTAR? Because I honestly didn't notice Faes are supposed to have mates in this first book!

May I be glad that Nesta hasn't been paired with anyone yet? Or maybe I'm giving SJM too much credit here? I don't want Nesta to get paired with anyone, she is fine by herself.

It's very common in Feyre's circle of friend!
And I agree, the prose was very good!

same team as you! Az deserve all the love in the world!

ahah thx ^^

Yea how come Beron is still alive? And why does SJM makes her characters making a deal to kill him if she does not go through with it? Rhys was freakin boring, and I loved lucien but i found him pathetic with the mate thingie. They're kind of all pathetic about that.
