I have been wanting to read this book and waited patiently for oh like five months. I knew my Aunt had bought it and was waiting to borrow it (I admit it takes me 1-2 days to read a three-hundred page book). After reading Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr I can't understand how it took her five months. Seriously, I could not put it down hence the puffy eyes, yawning, and dragging my body around like a zombie today. Coffee! I need lots of coffee!
I was a bit confused reading the first chapter. You are thrown into the fairy world and I was like huh! After chapter two you get the feel what is going on. From that point I could not put this book down. It was an interesting plot and a good page turner. BUT...there is always a but, right? I had a hard time liking Keenan the Summer King and Seth had no flaws. I mean he had piercings and seemed like the bad boy but didn't act it. Overall it was a good read. I am anxious to wait (lets hope it's not another 5 months lol) for the sequel that my Aunt has. The sequel is not about the characters in this book so I hope I won't be disappointed.
The reason why I like a series is the characters. This bums me when they go off on other characters. Once I get attached I just want to keep reading about them.
So....I am curious on your take on a series. Do you mind the spin off of other characters OR do you like to see the same characters?

If the characters are endearing, I don't mind "spin offs."
I'm a big fan of Anita Blake but I wonder when is a reasonable place to stop the series. Sometimes series can go on and on and the characters I once loved are entirely different by the end. Granted, the characters should evolve, but... I love them for very specific reasons, ya know?
I'm all for series and spin offs.
I liked WL, but I couldn't get into the others. It didn't have anything to do with characters though. Just personal preference on some things. :)
I do love a good series but yea the characters have to be stand out to have me coming back for more :)
I liked WL but, like you, wasn't crazy about some of the characters. I never read the others in the series, because I didn't feel the pull to get drawn back in.
