The Gray Man and Blue is really cute!

I am so sad that you are not liking these books at all :( Sniffs. But you are amazing for reading them, lol. <3 I still haven't read book four o.O But loved the other three. Just need to do a re-read first.. one day. Soonish. Hopefully :D You are awesome sweetie. <3Carina Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962924929801205597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7539100898315913459.post-92195846514898048622017-09-07T22:22:32.744-04:002017-09-07T22:22:32.744-04:00Out of all the books in the series, the first is m...Out of all the books in the series, the first is my favorite and I think this one is my least favorite. Just like you, I'm pretty much confused of the things happening in the series and pretty sure 80% of them has no purpose? I love the relationship between the Gray Man and Blue, but I don't understand about the relationship between gangsey... it seems pretty toxic to me with all of those angst, anger and issue?._. Or maybe it's a read between the lines thing which I didn't get either. So yeah. Hopefully your next read is better!Tasyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03406801926412663049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7539100898315913459.post-87311579754559385562017-09-06T07:23:23.097-04:002017-09-06T07:23:23.097-04:00Oh no!

I can imagine that there are some eccentric characters in this series because the author seems to be that way inclined. When there is an overload of anything, including those characters that are so off the wall different, it would distract from the plot. I might give these a try still, but I am not quite so sure if it is a series for me.

There were so many times that I had to rewind the audiobook because I zoned out so many times, often over the same sections over an over again. <br /><br />I finished this series a while ago, I'm just spreading out the reviews.

Mostly because I'll need to reread or be completely lost. I do feel so out of the loop since it really is so talked about in the community like you said so I know someday I'll pick them back up. I hope you enjoy the last book better than this one.

Maggie Stiefvater will be here in November, so I'm contemplating binge reading them that month, but we'll see. I love that you're sticking with the series even though it isn't your favorite. Hopefully it'll get better from here!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110883104450632010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7539100898315913459.post-86803375650333073412017-09-03T16:38:36.777-04:002017-09-03T16:38:36.777-04:00BLLB was my favorite book in the series, but I hav...BLLB was my favorite book in the series, but I have such an up and down relationship with this series-loved books 1&3, was really bored by books 2&4. I agree, the series can get really random and almost too quirky at times and it was hard for me to really feel invested or follow along.
