But did you say cliffhanger that smacks you between the eyes? Hmmmmm? Apparently I do not care if book 3 is a slight disappointment, I like cliffhangers that smack you between the eyes. So off I go to make the obligatory library hold. And yes, we can consider this due payback for the who.e Outlander debacle. :PMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873109350235219509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-79669379242284409892013-09-17T10:00:43.896-04:002013-09-17T10:00:43.896-04:00I felt much the same way about Requiem.

I felt like perhaps Oliver was trying hard to make her books different from all the other dystopian YA out there and it just didn't work for me.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474997114568231162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-16031421461353288612013-09-17T09:27:38.343-04:002013-09-17T09:27:38.343-04:00At this point I am simply sick to death of dystopi...At this point I am simply sick to death of dystopian YA books. Enough with the bleek futures already! Honestly, I used to seek them out they were so much fun, but now I feel like I'm ready to enter recovery. I really hit bottom with the first book in the Maze Runner series.
