It was still a good book though!Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-53701580436355643212014-01-12T20:39:58.123-05:002014-01-12T20:39:58.123-05:00The main reason I loved this book was Avry.

She was really kick-ass, and smart, and vulnerable -- and I loved it.Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-75330513823594086292014-01-12T20:38:50.134-05:002014-01-12T20:38:50.134-05:00Since this WAS the ending to a trilogy, I expected...Since this WAS the ending to a trilogy, I expected epic action scenes to be a big part of it! Sadly, that was not the case with Taste of Darkness. I still liked it, but it wasn't what I had expected precisely.Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-40746629604776972982014-01-06T12:26:34.656-05:002014-01-06T12:26:34.656-05:00I was happy with the ending, too, but the journey ...I was happy with the ending, too, but the journey to get there was a bit of a slow one for me.

It drove me to boredom, which is a shame because I was ready for a great finale.Amber (Books of Amber)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01750403330691361583noreply@blogger.com
