Second. I had no idea what this sERIES would be about when I bought the trilogy as the synopsis was a little vague.
So, I have to admit that I did like it...just not really enough to continue the series.
To me, it seemed that they went through a lot of crap for nothing. To go to where the weird black things come from just to find out what power Jess had, and then to realise that you don't know what it is anyway?? Riiiight... :/
I don't think I'll be continuing it as it just isn't really my sort of thing, I'm afraid.

I saw this on Scribd and thought, "Ooh, I want to read that." It sounded good, the cover is amazing and it was free for me. So why not?
Unfortunately once I started reading, I thought it sounded a lot like Meg Cabot's [b:Abandon|9397967|Abandon (Abandon Trilogy, #1)|Meg Cabot|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1324767084s/9397967.jpg|11351526] and I found it rather difficult to get into, though I think that was down to the "then" and "now" storyline and not the similarities between this and the other.
I can't say I felt anything for any of the characters or their predicament and I just lost interest in it all. That's were my 2 star rating comes from. It was okay, but not for me.

So I've literally just finished it and once again I'm crying. This is definitely one of those where you NEED to have the second book to jump straight back into this trilogy because after that ending, you just need to know that Camden is going to fight for Ellie, that she's not going to give into Javier and that they're eventually going to get their HEA after all this time.
Unfortunately though, I don't own the second book and my to-read shelf is almost 300 books long, but when I get through a few more books I will certainly buy it and get back to these two and their journey back to each other.

I had read a lot of reviews of this book, and what most of them said turned out to be true. This book has pacing issues, and it was a bit of a slog to get through. That being said, it's important to remember that it is the middle book of a trilogy, and therefore you are getting only the middle of the begging. Middle and end of a story structure, and I always find that the middle of stories already drag a little anyway. What I want to stress though, is that the pay off is well worth it! I was considering taking a break from Mistborn for a couple of books, but after reading that ending, I have no choice but to continue!
