It sounds like you still really liked it, though. I've heard a lot about this book and series and, though I haven't read it yet, it is on my TBR list for future reading.

I never had the same problem with Lela as you, so I'm not sure if that will change or not as you read the story, but I think she's such a loyal, brave girl, but she's not a total badass either. I love that she sometimes relies on Malachi and vise-versa. Book 1 is actually my favorite of the series, but the final book is good and the romance is back on track. Their relationship is so precious - I wish the author wouldn't have messed with it so much in book 2. :/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06307895303115762938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-42182879266796948772014-12-12T21:10:24.508-05:002014-12-12T21:10:24.508-05:00Awww :( I am sad to hear you didn't like this ...Awww :( I am sad to hear you didn't like this one as much as you hoped to, Lauren. I am a huge fan of the series (who still needs to read the last book). I can see why the whole Nadia thing made it harder for you to connect to Lela. For me though, I felt the opposite. I loved her drive. I loved that she was willing to go so far for a friend. You usually girls in books losing their head over a guy they have fallen in love with but bonds of friendship aren't explored nearly as much as they could be, at least in my opinion. It's why I adored the book! <br /><br />I haven't read the third book so I cannot answer all your questions but I do think the mythology is bound to get stronger in book 3. In book 2, there is a lot of action and a lot of emotional drama. The drama did bring down the book for me but I feel like you should continue with the series because they are worth it!! And I am sure you'll be able to connect to Lela better in the future instalments since like Keertana said, the motivation does change. :)<br /><br />Rashika @ <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato</a>Rashika https://www.blogger.com/profile/03823262638606052465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-50150346079789951302014-12-11T20:57:08.601-05:002014-12-11T20:57:08.601-05:00Yes, continue with the series!!! The second book ...Yes, continue with the series!!! The second book will make you crazy, but the third book makes it all worth it. And you definitely learn more about the Mazikin in the next two books. ~Pamyaescapefromrealityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200254719073248981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-34193397011661291982014-12-11T18:15:06.247-05:002014-12-11T18:15:06.247-05:00I definitely think that you should continue with t...I definitely think that you should continue with this series Lauren, the second book for me, was actually my favourite book out of the entire series! Yes there is a lot more pain and heartache for some of our favourite characters, but for me this is what made my connection with these characters that even more stronger. I'm sorry that you weren't able to enjoy this first book as much as you'd hoped, but I do hope that you deiced to give the rest of the series a go!

I'm so sorry you waited ages to read this book, and then it wasn't perfect :( that is all kinds of depressing. Hmph. I wouldn't read book two, I think, if I didn't enjoy book one. So my advice is just to peek at it if you can (A) Anyway. Amazing review Lauren. <3 I hope the next book you read is much better :)Carina Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962924929801205597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-12682542516739237232014-12-11T09:29:32.217-05:002014-12-11T09:29:32.217-05:00I really enjoyed this novel--and was quite disappo...I really enjoyed this novel--and was quite disappointed by all the relationship drama in the second--but I found the third installment to be a worthy conclusion to the series. The world-building is definitely expanded upon as the series progresses, certainly in the next book and particularly in the last installment. It's certainly an emotionally taxing series, especially on Malachi's end, and though my feelings for him fluctuated in the next novel, I was utterly besotted with him (again!) by the end of the series. I think as far as connecting to Lela goes, the motivations of the next two books change a lot so you won't experience the whole "lack of connection to Nadia = lack of connection to Lela" issue which I also felt in this installment. Lela becomes more defined solely by herself and without her connection to others and though I am really not a fan of the sequel, it is an important piece of the trilogy as a whole. I, personally, felt most connected to Lela probably in the last book, which I really, really like, and there were many positive aspects of FRACTURED as well where Lela really shines and comes through. My advice would be to read on but keep your expectations low for the sequel and turn off your love triangle detector because there is a pseudo-love triangle of sorts so...prepare yourself! But, I'm glad you enjoyed this and I hope you grow to love the rest of the series too! :)Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.com
