It was refreshing. But you're right, I didn't fall in love with Daemon either, he was definitely as ass most of the time. And when I found out why he was such an ass I too realised I couldn't really hate him, more just get annoyed at how he acted sometimes.<br /><br />I agree with lot of what you said!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-85202371473789913372013-05-14T09:56:30.620-04:002013-05-14T09:56:30.620-04:00I loved that Katy was obsessed with books and her ...I loved that Katy was obsessed with books and her blog. I'm definitely looking forward to more of her blogging anecdotes.

I am like you with being able to count on one hand the alien books I have read. Fantastic review!

While I wasn't epically swept away by this, it was truly fun to read and I'm quite hooked on the series now. I have the Covenant series on my TBR, and I'm curious to see how it compares to Lux.Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-40334642599876381142013-05-13T10:22:34.797-04:002013-05-13T10:22:34.797-04:00I didn't have high expectations but it also di...I didn't have high expectations but it also didn't grab me immediately, and when it did I thought it was pretty funny that I'd feel compelled to mark quite highly.

I try not to do that, but having heard so much about this series beforehand, it was really hard not to. I ended up really liking Obsidian, though, and I hope the next two books are equally enjoyable. I'd love to hear what you think of them, since we had such similar thoughts on Obsidian.

Like you, I rushed out to get Obsidian last year only to leave it sitting on my shelf...in my defense though, I'd picked up JLA's Covenant Series too and after much debate, I started that series first and now I feel like I should finish one before jumping into the other >.< Anyways, moving on - I'm glad you sound(ed) as skeptical as me about this series and how much you'd love it...but I am even more glad you ended up enjoying yourself so much!! I'm really curious now as to how much you'll like the rest of the series! Brilliant review, I loved reading your thoughts - as always :)Michelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220874121683955988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-82825689067567748572013-05-13T06:24:26.218-04:002013-05-13T06:24:26.218-04:00I just read this a little while ago and felt exact...I just read this a little while ago and felt exactly the same way! Although, I think I was less forgiving of Daemon than you were. I didn't like him at all until the end, and even so I was definitely far from head over heels in love with his character. I'm kinda interested in seeing whether or not my opinion changes in the next couple books, too. Great review! :)<br /><br /><a href="http://thenovlist.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Novlist</a>Stephanie Tanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17151287868911283059noreply@blogger.com
