The beginning is a little rough if you don't remember what happened before.

If there's a love triangle, I'm going to hurl.<br /><br />I highly recommend snagging a copy of LIPS TOUCH THREE TIMES. It's her antho of short stories and is illustrated by her hubby.

The size and knowing it's a heavy book kind of makes me hold off. I've recently read some big books and I'm feeling the need to get through more books and hold off on the huge ones. But at the same time I'm anxious for more. I hope to attend Laini's signing at the end of the month and hope to get it read before then. I'm happy to hear how much you loved it though!Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701325312535440179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-21061520076222064702012-11-08T20:08:13.123-05:002012-11-08T20:08:13.123-05:00I agree with you!

I love it when a trilogy is really well thought out, so that everything slowly starts to make sense. Beautiful writing, great plotting -- you can't go wrong with this one. And I don't even read a lot of fantasy!<br />Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756695137600895936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-81277730963385236532012-11-07T09:17:01.156-05:002012-11-07T09:17:01.156-05:00I thought that too when I read Daughter of S&B...I thought that too when I read Daughter of S&B: How did she think this up?
