I guess I'm just *really really* picky about which fantasy I read. :) I adore the ACOTAR series but wasn't as wowed by Maas's Throne of Glass series and stopped after the first book. And The Others... I guess because it's urban fantasy it feels a little more "real" to me.

But then I read on SJJ's website that she was inspired by the movie and started out writing a sort of retelling. So I was really hoping for more Labyrinth elements. It probably worked out better for you having not seen the movie. :) I still have every intention of reading the follow-up. I need to know what happens!Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-86176888541481535492017-05-24T09:55:03.947-04:002017-05-24T09:55:03.947-04:00Yes!

There were some slow moments for me too, but I liked it overall. I thought the writing was just SO good, and I really liked the characters. I never saw Labyrinth, but I know that people were a bit disappointed in that respect. Great review!!
