So obviously alot of one author this month. Found her through a free book with Amazon and went from there. I really do enjoy Kailin Gow's books. One thing is that they tend to be shorter and very fast paced. While this is appealing especially to reluctant readers, it means that alot of details get glazed over in the process. Don't get me wrong. I still really LOVE the storylines themselves, but sometimes the writing in an effort to be succinct is left wanting. The Frost series gets a bit repetitive which is annoying but the way the last left off, I'm really hoping the next will be better. Also, Gow plays very heavily on the heroine's heart being torn between two or more very suitable suitors. This is a construct in recent young adult literature that can really grate. Yes, it does cause dramatic tension and all that, however, it's very frustrating when they all are these awesome guys. And let's face it, how many girls out there have several guys at the same time all of which are drop dead gorgeous vying for their attention and love at the same time?
Some notes on several other series read this month.
Keary Taylor is an author I've read before. She's very good at making the villain in her story sympathetic which is often left undone in many books. I really enjoyed her series.
Addison Moore's series was also a really fun read. I'm definitely looking forward to the next one in that series as well.
