The 2nd and 3rd ones get better.

What I liked about the book was the relationship between Lissa and Christian. <br /><br />I've only read books 1-3 and they all kind of start off slow for me, but then the end it's like *BAM* action. I need to get on to book 4 soon though because book 3 ended with such a cliffhanger! <br /><br />I'll be looking forward to seeing what you think of the rest of the series. It definitely gets better.Adrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02311736707223598993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-88176745654529165132010-12-18T11:46:27.235-05:002010-12-18T11:46:27.235-05:00Dimitri.... *sigh* :P

But I put an objection like you did, but not the same one : I struggled to appreciate Rose and Lissa... At first, they really annoyed me. I found Rose too impulsive, and Lissa too shy...<br />But as I was reading, I finally have truly liked them :) They got through so many things... And finally they are strong and always there for each other.Pisinathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12039591761969331808noreply@blogger.com
