I have had this recommend to me so many times that I really wanted to give it a shot. Unfortunately from page one I was lost. The writing as if I was Kol and I was writing the story was hard to grasp and turned me off.
While I enjoyed the world and the struggles I just couldn't get past the writing style. Maybe I will give it another shot down the line.

Lost interest near the middle
This was pretty good to start with but my attention waned somewhere in the middle and wasn't really regained until the falling out at about 85%. I was even skipping the sex scenes...
I liked some of the secondary characters, the Queen for one. She was fun, especially the verbal sparring with Nicholas at times. Everyone else was kinda blah.
I'm not sure if I'll be reading the next book.

Read in one sitting. I did enjoy this enough to give maybe 4 stars, however at one point Trish describes an old boyfriend over 3 pages. Over these pages he is called Jacob, Jack and Jake. This was a really obvious mistake that should easily have been picked up in my opinion. Hence the lost of another star.

An Interesting Film
I really enjoyed this film, in was interesting and in depth. Eli travels west, protecting something very valuable. A dystopian future in which humanity is not painted in the best light, but intricately shows the power of one simple book, a text that's message was lost in the old world. A great movie, would definitely watch again.

Thank you to net gallery for the ARC.
Ancestral was a good book that moved nicely; at first I was not sure about it as I had not read the first one. I love a good cult story and its concept was unique. The characters were well developed and I found myself rooting for them all along the way. I was pleasantly surprised by the ending and look forward to reading the next installment. I am also going to go back and read the first one as well. You can read this one without doing that but you may find yourself lost sometimes in the story due to that but it does not deter from this one.

This one was a strange read. It didnt have much of a storyline to it, but I still felt melancholic after reading it.
This story is reminiscent of going through something shocking and coming out the other side of it lost and alone. I like it but it was very sad and made me feel lonely.
Sad, slightly creepy and slow moving, this one is definitely not something you want to pick up after a traumatic event.

So this was really interesting and intriquing. I did get lost a couple of times because I should have read the first two before this one but overall I was able to figure out what characters were who and why. It was a really good read... I am not a big f/f fan to be honest but it was tastefully done and didn't bother me much. There was a lot of mystery involved.. the characters were easy going and funn to read and i am glad i got to review it
