I was SO happy that I had Quintana ready and waiting for me to dive in - I can't imagine having to wait months and months to find out how everything ends. I can't wait for you to get to the last book because I have a feeling you'll really love it.<br /><br />I'm so glad you read these along with me - and I loved getting to hear your reactions to everything along the way! And I completely agree about this one being even better than Finnikin. The best part for me was that Quintana was my favorite of them all :)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-13137573819541023412013-05-03T23:53:31.397-04:002013-05-03T23:53:31.397-04:00Ah!! I totally know what you mean about the ending...Ah!! I totally know what you mean about the ending of Froi being a killer if we hadn't have read it as close to Quintana as we did. I had a few issues with Froi, but if I hadn't been able to look at it and Quintana as one whole story, it would have driven me mad! Together, I really enjoyed them, I can't wait for you to read it, ESPECIALLY since you gave Froi 5 stars.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416898799044848769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-61991340759659696922013-05-01T13:34:20.515-04:002013-05-01T13:34:20.515-04:00I am so, so excited to read Quintana! Well, I'...I am so, so excited to read Quintana! Well, I'm torn between excitement and nervousness. There's a lot at stake at the end of Froi, and I can't stand the thought of anything even more awful happening to the characters I love!Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-43458844078906088752013-05-01T13:33:47.151-04:002013-05-01T13:33:47.151-04:00I think, in all honesty, you will have difficulty ...I think, in all honesty, you will have difficulty getting into Finnikin of the Rock. It's a good, solid fantasy, but it's also slower and a bit more tedious than I'm used to. However, because I love fantasy and I love Melina Marchetta, I found myself readjusting and loving it a couple of chapters in.<br /><br />Froi of the Exiles, however, is another story. It's a PHENOMENAL sequel!Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-58791967159678268072013-04-30T04:58:51.998-04:002013-04-30T04:58:51.998-04:00I am so glad you loved this!

It was really great to already be familiar with the world and characters and I really liked seeing Froi grow.<br /><br />I can't wait for you to read Quintana!Vegan YA Nerdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11244310544451371368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-76271160434020964072013-04-29T15:29:27.538-04:002013-04-29T15:29:27.538-04:00I've been meaning to read Finnikin of the Rock...I've been meaning to read Finnikin of the Rock but I'm also hesitant because fantasy and me so rarely get along. BUT everyone loves it SO MUCH that it's like peer pressure or something. Like unintentional peer pressure! All the cool kids are reading it! bahaha. Anyways I'm glad the sequel was awesome as well it sounds like it lives up to expectations! It also sounds very character oriented which is definitely a good sign for me! Great review, dollface! <3Gisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953187386418088952noreply@blogger.com
