Halloween maybe over but Autumn is not and there is something classically autumnal about Edgar Allen Poe.

October Wrap Up

October was a slow reading month even though I had a week's vacation.

Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles Book 2) by Marissa Meyer (audio version)
This one was no where near as good as Cinder.  I didn't find Scarlet and Wolf to be compelling characters and their story was a bit rushed.  However we did learn new information about Cinder's background.  I will continue with the series.

Blue Lily, Lily Blue (Book 3 of the Raven Cycle series) was every bit as good as the first two.  I love all the characters and how they develop more and more with each book.  Can't wait to read the final book.

Vicious by V.E Schwab was a stand alone book but now a sequel is in the works.  I never know quite how I feel about Schwab's books until I am well into the story.  As in all her stories, but this one even more than most, you have to just accept some basic premises right up front and don't ask questions.  That was a bit more difficult in this book because it is set entirely in the real world.  Her strong point as always is in building great characters.  I really loved Victor, Mitch, Sydney and Dol (the dog) and the conclusion was had multiple heart stopping moments.  I am very interested in the upcoming sequel.
