It's only OK. Not as good as the blurb suggests. I had read it years ago and had mostly forgotten it. Re-read it a few weeks ago and realized it's because it's pretty forgettable. Not bad by any stretch, and it's a fairly quick read, but not worth going out of your way for.

Just started Red Rising book 2 (Golden Son) by Pierce Brown. Next up will be The Fireman by Joe Hill.
btw, do img tags do differently here now?

Very quick entertaining read. I have high hopes that the author doesn't stay so indebted to the Hunger Games formula for the rest of the trilogy and does his own thing (since there are a lot of different ways the story can go from here).
They work the same as they always have (for me at least). Just bracket the link of your image with [img] and [/img] (which one of the tool icons will do automatically for you).

Even though the first book is pretty good, I found the trilogy actually improves significantly as it moves forward. I think the second book is the best book, the third book is the second best. Only the first book is influenced by The Hunger Games, IMO. Also, I think it's a lot better than the Hunger Games.

My Sunshine Away by M.O. Walsh
My favorite genre is coming of age stories and this is a very good one. It reminds me somewhat of To Kill A Mockingbird.

Right on to the third book of the series. After seeing a lot of Hunger Games and Ender's Game in the 1st book, I'm seeing more of a Game of Thrones influence in the 2nd. And that's a good thing.
