I loved this book so much it has been awhile since I read a book completely from a male POV I really enjoyed reading this book so much. I really loved the characters especially Thomas and Emma I loved their romance so much it was a gradual process that was worth all the time for them to get closer. I loved Thomas for his sense of justice and what is right I loved everything about him his strength and his love for Emma. I really liked the plot with the historical setting with fantasy elements that made for an interesting read. So overall I really enjoyed this book I would read more by this author for sure.

I really liked this book it is not better than the movie but it is almost as good in my eyes at least. I liked all of the characters very much especially Frodo whom most of the story was told by he is a very interesting and well written character I really like his relationship with Sam the most will be looking forward to more. I really liked the plot it started out slow explaining everything when it finally got to the best parts they were well worth it. So overall I loved this book will be continuing it soon.

I really liked this book it was much better than the first one the pace was so much better the story was not all over the place it flowed at a pretty good pace. I really liked all of the main characters but the one I liked best were Legolas and Gimli and their growing camaraderie I also really liked Merry and Pippin and their part of the story.The plot moved along pretty well picking up right where book one left off with some of the characters going after others with a couple others getting out of the situation they were in and finally back to the ring bearer and a couple other characters on their way to destroy the one ring. So overall I really enjoyed this book still like the movies better but this is a really good book will finish the last book soon.

I have finished this series I loved it so very much although it will never be in my eyes better than the movies though bits not in the movies were really interesting as well. I loved all of the characters so much by the end of the story the ones I loved most in this particular part of the story Merry and Pippin and Frodo and Sam and everyone else as well. For the kind of people the race of hobbits are these four were the bravest and some of the strongest characters of the whole series. I really loved the plot everything came together as it should have I loved everything about the series by the end. So overall I loved this series so very much.

This book so different that anything I have read it was fast paced from start to finish and it sure didn't play around about anything. I loved the characters very much but I really loved Cade he adapted to his situation pretty quickly and thought on his feet I found him to be a very interesting and sympathetic character he was wrongly accused of a crime and then he found himself thrown into something he did not understand and had to adapt quickly. I really loved the plot it was different from anything I have read it started right in the action with Cade fighting off a monster and then told of his being wrongly accused of a crime and it went from there telling before in flash backs before getting to the present of Cade being somewhere with dinosaurs and having to fight for his and others lives. So overall I am loving this series I am looking forward to the sequel.

I loved this book so much it was the best of this series and I am looking forward to more. I loved all of the characters the story followed but the ones that I loved most were Aeduan,Iseult,Safi and Meric=k. I loved the relationship that grew between Aeduan and Iseult it was push and pull for awhile before the end and their relationship grew so much I am looking forward to where it goes next. I loved Safi for being true in her beliefs and her relationship with Vaness it became such a great one by the end and her and Merick I hope that gets closer to resolving by the next book. I loved seeing the motevations and thoughts of both Merik and Aeduan their struggles and pain and everything else that came with all of that. I loved the plot it picked up from the last book left off it started out by tellings things to do with the main characters and their struggles and just got better and better the further I got. So overall I loved this book and am really looking forward to the sequel there are so nay unresolved things that need to be resolved.

I really loved this book with it being about one of my favorite things Japanese mythology of course I was hooked from the moment I started reading. I really loved the characters Emi and Shiro most of all with Emi being rather set in her ways although she does start to question her lot in life. So awhile after she meets Shiro a Kitsune who is a really interesting character he just wants be break his curse and starts care about her I really love their interactions it sounds like a great start for a meant to be romance. I really loved the plot it was like a really good anime plot put into a book it started out with Emi making it to the shrine her thinking about something that went wrong going to the stables to sit on a horse she ends up in the woods and attacked by an oni and is saved by Shiro things progress from there I really loved this book so much will read more soon.

This book was so much better than the first one it has so much that was good the romance for one the action and everything in between. I still loved the characters so much especially Emi and Shiro
SpoilerInari
I really loved how their relationship grew from taking some steps forward to taking show back to finding that love was worth more than anything. I just loved their complete and utter devotion to each other that they showed in different ways with Emi showing it by wanting to do anything to free him of his curse and Shiro showing it by the fact he would do anything for her. I really loved the plot it picked up right where it left off with many things happening and Shiro and Emi getting closer and closer day by day with many revelations happening in between all of that and so much happening there was never a dull moment this book was action-packed filled with pain and love in equal measures. So overall I loved this book and will be reading the last book soon.

I loved this book so much best finale to a series I have ever read it had the best picturesque ending I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I loved all of the characters so much I really loved Yumei and all of the rest but I loved Emi and Shiro best. They had the best love story I have ever read even with the fear of losing one another that only made their relationship stronger. They would go above and and beyond to save the other even with the sad bit where
Spoiler Where Shiro basically sacrifices himself so Emi would be able to live it takes about 7 years for him to come back but when they finally reunited that was the best scene in the whole book.
I just loved them so much. I really loved the plot the pace is set at break neck and it never slows down not even for a moment. I loved how everything was solved and I loved the ending best of all. So overall I loved this book and will read more by this author soon.

I loved this book so much it was different that anything I have read recently I loved everything from the humor to everything in between. I really liked the characters especially Sam,Ramon,Brooke and Brid. I really liked the dynamic between Sam,Ramon, and Brooke a group of best friends that do what best friends I loved their antics when it came to many things. I really liked the relationship of Brid and Sam no matter how it started it turned out to be a pretty good relationship. I really liked Sam because he was not one of those wow I have powers this is great the thinks about what problems these powers have caused and looks into them to find out as much as he can I think he is more like your average guy not like most male leads I found him to be both funny and interesting. I liked Brid she is your strong female character type but is also a well written and very interesting character. I really liked Ramon and Brooke for their loyalty to their friend that either of them would do anything to save him when he is in trouble. I loved the plot it was both a very funny read at parts as well as having its sad parts as well as a spring of the moment romance. The story started with the main character working at a fast food place with him having dropped out of college then it moves to the plot of bad things happening Sam finding out things and not being happy about them and moves to more bad things happening before the end happening with many hopeful things happening. So overall I loved this book will be reading the sequel soon.
