I've actually wanted to read this for a very long time, but I still have to get it though.<br />The cover reminds me so much of Pixar's "Brave" haha, it just looks really magical :)<br /><br /><i><b><a href="http://lipstickandmocha.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Lipstick and Mocha</a></b></i>Carla Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06268478482673884958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031575485604990008.post-81684622396517861202016-05-21T13:59:15.014-04:002016-05-21T13:59:15.014-04:00My fingers are crossed that the next one will be b...My fingers are crossed that the next one will be better! Like you said, I'm much more interested in Paxton's role with the Lashed, more interested than the actual plot of killing the beast itself. So much potential, but then again, it's hard for Higgins to follow up with the perfection of Anna and Kai in the Sweet Evil series!Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06763730567652893251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031575485604990008.post-65826692431000490612016-05-19T10:26:26.792-04:002016-05-19T10:26:26.792-04:00I felt like this book was miss-mash of so many YA ...I felt like this book was miss-mash of so many YA books, like the princess/bad-boy romance trope, failing kingdom, princess saves the day etc, etc. and Wendy just wasn't able to pull it off and trust I don't think anyone is as disappointed as us because it had SO MUCH POTENTIAL!<br />I completely agree with you in saying that Aerity could and should have been more, her character was lacking. Paxton was great but I was way more interesting in his storyline with the Lashed people more than his relationship with Aerity or the plot of The Great Hunt. Two very different storylines and yet no plot? I was so confused. You've hit on so many great points in your review, sucks that if wasn't was you were expecting. Hopefully the next book will be better.<br /><br />Brilliant review Erika!!!<br /><br />Cody @ <a href="http://literary-lyobsessed.blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Literary-ly Obsessed</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888482625609869448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031575485604990008.post-45187118051193710202016-05-18T20:13:45.856-04:002016-05-18T20:13:45.856-04:00I'm really disappointed to hear that!I'm really disappointed to hear that!Jazmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14218708787382167027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031575485604990008.post-91535937595040348222016-05-17T17:26:40.167-04:002016-05-17T17:26:40.167-04:00I feel like Aerity's character has a lot of po...I feel like Aerity's character has a lot of potential to grow in the next one, so hopefully she'll step it up!Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06763730567652893251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031575485604990008.post-70916452787511485672016-05-17T17:26:01.811-04:002016-05-17T17:26:01.811-04:00Agreed!

Neat. :) You described what you disliked about the plot very, very well, and I can see how that would happen with a plot like this. Looks like it might have some things that will make for interesting sequels, though!Eve Estellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16100366039767514954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031575485604990008.post-25516959936133184642016-05-17T08:08:41.995-04:002016-05-17T08:08:41.995-04:00I'm sorry you didn't like this one as much...I'm sorry you didn't like this one as much!
