I've completed Leaving Paradise today and is on my way to Return to Paradise. It was a good read, albeit a bit too slow at the beginning and a rushed ending. I don't know if it was just me, but I sort of have some problem with the pacing. One moment the hero and heroine looked at each other with pure hatred, the other they fell in love. Although I complain, I quite understand the purpose of all these abrupt pacing. The first half of the book was agonizingly slow; it was probably for us to get our bearing, to come close to the characters' heart, to understand what happened and to see how those troubled teenagers access their life. The rushed conclusion maybe to emphasis that the truth has always been there. You just need to open your eyes and see it. Plain as day. That's how I interpret her writing style and aims. I hope I'm correct.
My next series after Return to Paradise is probably Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia. This is only a plan. I haven't decided yet since the book is awfully long and there are three books already been released in this series. In addition, the ratings of the first book are rather interesting. They are either one star or five star. It's either the worst or the best. You can see why I am reluctant. All things said, I'm still planning to try the first book. Hopefully, it won't try my patience.
The crown of embers by Rae Carson is already out. I sooooo want this book. OMG! I can't wait to read it. Miss Hector so much. He's so cool and amazing, except I don't like bearded men. Only for Hector, I won't complain.
The diviners is also out. I wonder what this book is about. I love Libba Bray's writing very much. *scrubbing hands in anticipation*
YUMMIE!
