I borrowed this from the library, but was unable to get to it. Hopefully, when I get a chance again, I'll pick it up. But, you're absolutely right. Sometimes it's better when the perspective is written from an entirely different character!

I typically love Meg's stuff, but the narrator made Pierce sound like every single thing was an excuse or a whine. For the next book, I'm going to read it on my own and leave the audiobooks alone.Lark Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227594042705073825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247299972163313175.post-58475772624547778022011-11-11T09:56:13.866-05:002011-11-11T09:56:13.866-05:00I read the book, and I didn't find Pierce to b...I read the book, and I didn't find Pierce to be as whiny and annoying as you did (she definitely was at times, but she won me over), so I wonder if the audio was what killed it for you. Also, I haven't read The Goddess Test yet, so my expectations were not in any way related. I really enjoyed it. I am looking forward to Underworld for sure. Also, the cover is reason enough to read book two. It's stunning!<br /><br />Sucks that you didn't like this book that much. Hopefully, Underworld will be better for you! Great honest review!<br /><br />http://yalitwit.blogspot.comKaris Jacobsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307888090751718656noreply@blogger.com
