The Passage was interesting, but I didn't like that they jumped so many years. Too much story potential undeveloped. I have been keeping an eye out for The Twelve.

I liked the way that Justin Cronin spaced The Passage, yes there might have been some lost stuff, but he makes up some of that in The Twelve which is also really good, in The Twelve we go back to year zero and see the world implode then go forward.

 

If you like the minutea of apocalyptic novels you might want to give Harry Turtledove's 

Supervolcano Eruption 

it came out last December it's about the supervolcano under Yellowstone the next one is due out this December, plus this is a natural disaster so you're not fending off "virals" :smileyhappy:

Loved this book. It just sucked me in. Great new series by Amanda Hocking. I couldn't put this book down. What an ending! I am glad the second book Lullaby is coming out in November.

I just finished a YA book Storm (Brigid Kemmerer's Elemental Series #1)  and loved it! Can't wait for the second to be released at the end of this month! 

 

So I'm reading Wuthering Frights (Dulcie O'Neil Series #4)  right now for a little adult book reprieve...

I just finished Shadow of Night (All Souls Trilogy #2)  which I absolutely LOVED. I love the epic-ness (is that a word?!?) of this trilogy!

Re: What are you currently reading?

I'm finally getting into this long series, yes I'm delayed at getting to it.  But I'm here now.  And trying out the second book.  So far better than first, but will try third as well.

I read The Restorer and really liked the story line and the characters.  Have not been able to find any others in this series.  Anyone see a newer book?

I LOVE this series! I've been reading it since I think the 3rd book came out. They weren't what I was expecting when I started reading them, but think the characters, stories, world, and magic are all amazing, and I really look forward to each new release!

 

I'm very sad that the series is ending, but how much more can poor Allie go through?!? :smileywink: I would love it if there was a spin off! Especially following Shamus... hmmm...
