Yes...Thanks Keionda, you're such a sweetheart.<br /><br />Yes, you need to add this series and grab a copy of both books as soon a humanly possible. You'll be blown away how awesome it is.

It might be one of those series I'll have to wait until they're all out and purchase the matching copies. It's very much mature young adult, but will definitely appeal to the wider reading audience. One of the best series I've read in a long time and drama free at that.Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-7136440857256614642015-09-30T04:45:09.585+10:002015-09-30T04:45:09.585+10:00So do I Wattle, so many books and never enough tim...So do I Wattle, so many books and never enough time.

I usually like Brandon Sanderson's stories (especially his stormlight archive which is really really slow) so it may really have been unfair of me to give this up on my first try because of the slow pace. I'll reread it again from the very start and just enjoy the story and immerse myself as much as you guys have!<br /><br />Faye at <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato</a>Faye M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482378962410177583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-9068319104143838682015-09-28T11:58:37.047+10:002015-09-28T11:58:37.047+10:00Thanks for sharing!

I love epic battle scenes, and I was jumping for joy after I read that AH-MAZING battle between her and the other Clairvoyants. Let's not forget my beautiful Arcturus, and that cliff-hanger!

I know of another female author who is a natural storyteller, Marissa Meyer. That woman can hold my attention and make me travel to alternate realities effortlessly. The Mime Order sounds like a fascinating escapism, I'll be adding the series to my TBR.
