Like you, I struggled in the beginning trying to remember the history of the world and all the terminology, but I fell madly in love with Persis. I did prefer Kai to Justen as well, though I enjoyed Justen overall! I just adore this series:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-7241837884335578192014-08-08T04:47:23.088-04:002014-08-08T04:47:23.088-04:00Oh yes, this one ended too soon for me, too!

This was actually the first Peterfreund I read, but I've since purchased the first book and also really enjoyed her NA book ONE & ONLY under her pseudonym Viv Daniels.<br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://www.themidnightgarden.net/2014/08/ifistay.html" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-91270642156881904712014-08-07T22:21:05.766-04:002014-08-07T22:21:05.766-04:00Yayy, glad you liked this one!

I would definitely love to see another companion novel in this universe as a retelling to some other classic (not that I've read either of the classics that the first two books are based on...). I hope it's a bit easier getting into the world on the third time because I too had trouble getting into it again for this book!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-29922205314053539332014-08-07T22:12:38.386-04:002014-08-07T22:12:38.386-04:00I think I'll enjoy the slow romance between th...I think I'll enjoy the slow romance between those two as well since I usually don't like insta-love. I absolutely love the cover and the plot seems interesting. I look forward to starting this series :D Great review!<br /><br />Lola @ <a href="http://hitormissbooks.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Hit or Miss Books</a>Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00239617000942734999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-11154857567595182792014-08-07T05:51:51.295-04:002014-08-07T05:51:51.295-04:00I loved that Persis was strong like Elliot, and al...I loved that Persis was strong like Elliot, and although I like both girls I still think Elliot is my fave. Same with Kai/Justin - Kai all the way! <br /><br />Have you read Persuasion, the classic that FDStS is based on? I suggest reading if you haven't, because hellooo Captain Wentworth. ;) <br />tthepageturnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17175214824875744361noreply@blogger.com
