Feature & Follow #5




Feature & Follow is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee & Alison Can Read. The purpose is to meet new people and gain more followers in the book blogging community. If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers — but you have to know — the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.

Here’s this week’s question:
What hyped up book do you think was not worth all the talk?

I would have to say The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa. I really liked the book but found it a bit slow and the storyline built up slowly. I was expecting a bit more action and maybe a bit more WOW factor, but it didn’t quite get there. I liked the different world and I am looking forward to the next book.


What do you think?
What's your FF?

    Just saying hi! New blogger doing this meme for the first time. Congrats on being featured!


    Visit me & my sis!


    I loved The Immortal Rules and so did my sister. I'm sad you didn't really enjoy it as much as we did, but maybe Book 2 will be better for you.

    I've seen this book posted a few times. Not sure if I want to read it or not b/c of the mixed reviews.
    Have a Happy Weekend!!

    I posted a review about it, all very positive, I just expected extraordinary things to happen because everyone talked about it.

    I haven't read The Immortal Rules yet but the slow build-up doesn't sound too good.

    I'm going to read The Immortal Rules. But the huge size of it in itself is such a turn-off! :P Let's see...

    I haven't read this one, though it is one that I've been curious about, mainly due to the cover. I've put this on my wishlist and taken it off soooo many times because I'm that undecided on it.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the follow. I'm following you back. :)

    You know, I have to agree with you. I expected more from the Immortal Rules and felt it was too slow.

    It was a good read, but I think it is more of a build up for what will happen next. I am looking forward to the next book.
