I know. I can't believe I haven't read it yet. And yes, I love that about her too. I'm a little bit that way myself - take me or leave me, it's who I am. I do love these fierce female roles in YA Fantasy just like you.<br /><br /><br />I'm actually really looking forward to her new series too. I hope it's fabulous!<br /><br /><br />(No worries about the Rafflecopter.

You can't be at a camp for experts and just fake your way through. I never really bought it, however, eventually I was so charmed by the book that I didn't care that it wasn't believable. Sloane Devon and Sloane Emily totally won my heart and I was rooting for both of them (and the romances, too!).Ashley Christynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-41103823205279953952015-02-15T23:58:10.653-07:002015-02-15T23:58:10.653-07:00Ah.

Crown of Midnight raised the stakes so much and I just love Celaena/Chaol. (And Heir of Fire? EVEN BETTER.) I love when authors grow as they write, and Sarah J. Maas improves with every subsequent book and I am SO GLAD. <br /><br /><br />I really like that Celaena isn't concerned with being likable. There is too much focus, especially on female main characters, to maintain their likability and I love that she is given the freedom to be petty and petulant when she wants to. Also, while I really do love adult fantasy, too, I love that YA fantasy is more diverse and more willing to give female main characters more opportunities. Adult fantasy, though I really do love a few series, is mostly drowning in white boys.<br /><br /><br />(Also, I just realized I forgot to specify that I was commenting on this post in the Rafflecopter. I'm sorry! I understand if this doesn't count.)Ashley Christynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-50927465577813232122015-02-11T22:03:54.092-07:002015-02-11T22:03:54.092-07:00Great reviews!

I've read it and enjoyed it, but it's not my favorite of hers. I would start with P&P or Northanger Abbey. NA is hilarious to say the least. I also LOVE S&S, but it may be harder for you to get into. I'm just saying this from what you've said in struggling with Austen. I obviously love her, but there are plenty of others that can't connect with her books, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. :)Tressahttp://www.wishfulendings.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-60489546379355116052014-10-10T02:14:53.699-07:002014-10-10T02:14:53.699-07:00Oh I love this!

I like the movies based on her books, and I find many of her quotations wry and witty, but when it comes to reading a whole novel by her, my mind just wanders. Nevertheless you've inspired me to try once more. I own "Sense and Sensibility," "Emma" and "Northanger Abbey," so I might as well attempt to get through them this winter, using your two-month allotment as my guide.Lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-37839028120051717482014-08-26T15:28:35.323-07:002014-08-26T15:28:35.323-07:00I really loved this one!
