I'm conflicted. If I could I would give the first 3/4 four stars and the last fourth two stars. It's probably my fault for not knowing this was a duology or how much it would take from the Sleeping Beauty tale. Still, I was disappointed with the ending and I'm not sure if I'm going to pick up the next book.
Overall a very good romance, I really liked both characters. My only complaint is that the ending seemed a little rushed to me. (And also the cover, it doesn't reflect what the characters nare supposed to look like at all...)
Ended up enjoying this, though I did skim over some of the long-winded descriptions. The murder plot was a bit convoluted, I would have liked more focus on the romance and Ralian diplomacy stuff.
I was a little disappointed because there was less romance than in Winter's Orbit, and the plot wasn't as engaging. I was a bit confused for the first few chapters, but after that I got into the plot and it was worth the read.
This book was okay. I was really into mystery of who Jane was and August's family, and I loved the parts talking about Jane's past. But honestly, I felt like this book was too long. The whole subplot with Billy's seemed like it didn't really fit.

Also, are they really going to try to tell Jane's parents that she's a time traveller?? Hard to believe that will go over well...
Decent thriller, I liked the structure. Irene was definitely the star of this, I would definitely read about her solving more murders!
This would be good for younger readers or people who are completely unfamiliar with the history of Pluto. It was interesting and I enjoyed it, but would have preferred a bit more science info.
I think I just don't like graphic novels that much. The art was pretty, but the story felt rushed.
Death is a great character and I love his appearances in the other books. My one gripe was with Mort being so set on saving Princess Keli even though he barely knew her. It was a little too hard to believe for me. It made the middle part a slow read, though I really enjoyed the beginning and end.
Didn't draw me in as much as Equal Rites, but I love The Witches and was happy to spend a few hours with them.
Wonderful, couldn't put it down once I started. I was a little wary about it after not liking Artemis, but it met my expectations and then some!
The hurt/comfort was good in the beginning, and the writing was decent. I only felt compelled to finish because I wanted to know what happened. The conflict was all superficial, and it was pretty obvious everything was going to work out so it never felt like the stakes were very high.
I originally read these in high school and wanted to revisit them. Made me genuinely laugh out loud at times. Unfortunately scenes with the creepy/pervert teacher character were uncomfortable and hard to read. (Why does no one call him out? HOW does he still have a job in a high school???)
Had I not read these before (and known I liked them) I would have put it down without finishing. These were good reads for nostalgia's sake, but tough to recommend for new readers.
