Abigail- Beautifully said!


Abigail - see, I didn't see much character development in the third book. We didn't learn anything new about anyone (ESPECIALLY TRIS). And the ending seemed too contrived, which was even more obvious when Roth said she was planning to do it all along. It didn't feel like the plot had demanded it, it felt like Roth demanded it so much that instead of telling the great story she had on her hands, she blew it in favor of her ending. Which, you know it is 100% her choice and everything. I just had a problem with it.


I loved the first 2 books in Divergent and absolutely hated the last 2 books in THG and Delirium.

Definitely agree- although I have yet to finish the Delirium series- halfway through the second book and kinda wary now...

I totally agree! The fourth was where it went waaaay downhill for me too. :)

I didn't get to Nevermore, but my friend told me how it ended and....wow. That sounds bad.

Fablehaven. I read it a long time ago, but I remember liking the beginning and hating the ending
Also the Divergent series. I LOVED the first book, the second book was okay, and the third was a letdown. I loved the ending though

I know right!! SO EXCITED!

Now I can't be certain, but I heard from a friend that -The Last Dragon Chronicles- lost everything at about the 5th or 6th book, and that the 7th was almost entirely irrelevant. Which is a major disappointment seeing as -The Fire Within- was so good. I myself only recently finished -The Fire Eternal- .

PLL had way too many books. I think there are 16 now or something like that? And it was so tedious. How many As are there?! Like fifty? XD
Everneath started out strong and good. Then it went down the tubes to end in a failed ending that had me chucking the book across the room :P




Shatter Me was AMAZING!!
Unravel Me was eh. ok I guess.
Ignite Me was TERRIBLE!WORST BOOK EVER!
it was rushed,there was NO action really (only like 5 pages had action), ALL the characters were annoying, Adam went from being a sweet guy to being a jerk, Juliette was weak and even more annoying than before (if that's even possible) , Warner was annoying, gross, and I still think he's evil, Kenji was so awesome in the first two books but in Ignite Me he's an idiot.
And the ending..., ugh, it's just horrible.

Didn;t like the Divergent series!?"
I liked Divergent, but wasn't able to get through Insurgent :(:(

Oh....

Surprisingly I didn't have books that disappointed me. Only when the authors killed my fave characters.

The maze runner. The first one was good but it started getting weird and Thomas got perfect.
The Match..."
I've heard the same about Delirium trilogy...
