I hope.<br /><br />I hadn't expected to fall in love with Prisoner of Night and Fog, I'm not generally a fan of historical novels, but it had all the makings of a dystopian which I related to more. The oppression, fleeing, revolting against the regime. I'm so excited that it's at least going to be a two book series, hopefully three.Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-80596127845172790452014-11-25T04:42:45.816+11:002014-11-25T04:42:45.816+11:00I think it's a case of giving the majority wha...I think it's a case of giving the majority what they want in that case. I think Adam fans were in the minority sadly and even though I loved Warner and the series, I think it was a majority rules type scenario to keep the masses happy.

He's almost magical, if not a little mental, so I'm pretty sure he won't mind.<br /><br />There's a character in the Dustlands series called DeMalo and he's absolutely delicious. He basically thinks he's god, but from his introduced in book one I was completely smitten.

The Darkest Minds is absolutely brilliant, I'd leave that one until last as some of the other titles may be a bit of a let down after reading that type of awesomeness.

Gabe was also a really cute love interest in 'A Little Something Different' which was a really sweet book. This post has reminded me that there are some books out there which I really need to move up my TBR, like Prisoner of Night and Fog - I love YA historical fiction so that one looks really promising :)Eugeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456002470250311235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-86837376459995331212014-11-24T16:23:06.810+11:002014-11-24T16:23:06.810+11:00Ooh love these recommendations!

I can't believe 2014 is almost over, but what with holidays, snow, and year-end reflection, the weeks leading up to New Year's Day are the best of the entire year.<br /><br />As for your actual post, I 100% agree about Daniel from Prisoner of Night and Fog. I adore his relationship with Gretchen because she has to overcome so much brainwashing to make it happen, which results in so much character growth. And he's not too bad on his own. :)Emily @ Forever Literaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06220478018390968505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-73909106446399626422014-11-24T00:12:20.554+11:002014-11-24T00:12:20.554+11:00Gawd.
