As to their characterization, I canвЂ™t give a final determination yet because IвЂ™m still reading the series but at first glance, I thought that AshвЂ™s character was pretty well-developed but inconsistent (which actually fits the story because he himself isnвЂ™t sure of who he is or how he should feel). I wonвЂ™t go into too much detail so as not to spoil the novel for anyone but there is a bit of a love triangle that has developed. The two male leads, Puck and Ash, have me conflicted. Her character development progresses nicely throughout the novel and I look forward to seeing her grow more in the remaining novels. She is written very realistically and I felt like she could be an actual person (except for the whole her being a fairy princess and all). Meghan is a very likeable main character. In addition to the great plot, I also really enjoyed the characters. Personally, I feel like this a great series to read if youвЂ™re new to the idea because the Meghan is also new to the fey world so youвЂ™re able to learn the intricacies along with her. I will say that other than the Artemis Fowl novels, IвЂ™ve never encountered a novel or series that was set in the world of fey so I was totally new to it. I liked the presentation of exposition and found it very interesting to learn about the characters, setting, and the general theme of fey. Each plot development occurred in what seemed like a natural pace. The story line didnвЂ™t feel rushed but I also didnвЂ™t feel like I was waiting for something to happen. The build of the plot was thorough and I felt like it developed nicely. After becoming more akin to the writing style, I was able to focus on the plot, which was very enjoyable. But, much like BurgessвЂ™ A Clockwork Orange, after a short time it flowed nicely. For me, it took a few chapters to become comfortable reading it without being distracted by the diction and sentence structure. It is beautifully written in a distinct prose that is unique to Julie Kagawa. This is a novel about self-discovery, first love, and friendship. Those are my main reading/book resolutions. Whatever is not acceptable at these will be donated to the library or a local not-for-profit thrift store.

I will be donating them to three book charities: Books for Africa, Books for Soldiers, and Books through Bars. As a result, they are not my particular style, genre, type of book and I'm in a space where I'm comfortable enough to pass them along to other readers. Many of the books have been given to me or are from a inheritance following the death of my grandmom.

While I'm not planning on donating all of the books, the Great Purge of 2014 is in full swing. Donate! I have managed to amass an astonishing number of books in the three and a half years that I have lived in my own home. I really need to clear some series off of my shelf. I'd like a portion of these books to come crossover with the Sequels and Series portion of the blog. The challenge is not going to be enforced strictly as I kind of need to work myself back into the scene. I'm proposing a reading challenge of 50 books for myself.

This allowed me to accomplish all of the things I needed but also took one of the main sources of my enjoyment. In 2013, I really let reading fall to the side so that I could focus on major projects in my life. Read! This should probably be first in the scheme of resolutions. It's been an idea living in my brain for a while and I'm finally in a place where I can implement it.Дў. This will fall in several categories but most common will be the 'Things from Books,' a spin on the Vlogbrothers 'Thoughts from Places.' It will be a place where I share the things I find in books, whether they be physical remains left from previous owners, thoughts, quotes, or anything else from a book. On the weekends, I'm hoping to blog posts that complement my YouTube channel videos. Thursday will always be either a review or reflection on a book. Tuesdays will always include a tag (Top Ten Tuesday, which I loved doing in the past) and potentially a haul or review. My schedule is a Tuesday/Thursday post every week with fun days on the weekend. I'm never absent from the blogging world, but I'm easily overwhelmed in life and blogging is the first of the things that is neglected. I'm hoping that minimal commitment will enable me to keep to a regular posting schedule that is small but consistent. I've devised a blogging schedule that is low impact to start. I'm back, again, and I have some resolutions that I'm hoping to keep up in 2014.ДЎ. 2013 proved to be an eventful year for me and among the many life changes (I graduated from college in May and married in August, just to name a couple), there was less (but some) reading going on at the Book Nook.
