Soulless

Re-read July ‘17 dropping rating from 4 –> 3.5
Never got around to finishing this... omg last year? around the same time too, wow. Anyhow, I'm determined this year to read the rest of the series and have it done with once and for all.

The reason I think I can never continue with the series?
It is interesting and holds my attention when I read it, but I don't feel gripped or compelled to read the rest. Hopefully the second book will change my mind about this. I WILL START IT!
7/27/16 read the book again.... raise the rating from 3 -> 4*

I'm not sure what I found lacking the first time I read this book. I found it absolutely enchanting and funny. The dialogue is charming. I found myself laughing or wanting to highlight passages

I liked the characters and honestly I can't wait to read the next book to figure out how the story will continue. Such a fun world!!

Things I didn't like were how Alexia's family put her down continuously, making her self-esteem horrible. Given the time period it is supposed to be though I cannot fault it too much. I hope to see some improvement on this in future books.
