Will I Love A Discovery of Witches?

[secretlyevil]

What do you think?

Hunger Games Trilogy - over all liked/enjoyed it, hated the third book .
Divergent - loving the series
Harry Potter - adored
Twilight - eh
Read all kinds of books and overall enjoy books that are well-written, whatever the genre.

I'm the same as you so I'm subbing to see what kind of responses you get...

It sounds like we may have similar reading tastes, and I really enjoyed it. It wasn't my favorite book of all time but it was definitely something I considered a good read.

Sounds like I should hit the order button on amazon.com. Afterall, H will be consumed with Diablo III for the foreseeable future so I might as well stock up on books.

I loved all of the book you listed, even Twilight. I thoroughly enjoyed ADoW. I agree with Dusky that it was not one of my favorites but I have pre-ordered the second books already.

Since it was released I've been going back and forth over if I want to read it. I'm very interested to hear what everybody thinks.

It was okay. I didn't love it. Not sure I'll read the sequel. It reminded me a little more of The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova than the others you mentioned. FWIW, I didn't like Outlander, either, and it reminded me of that in a way, too.

It started out pretty slow for me but it picked up about halfway through. I did end up enjoying it and I plan on reading the sequel.

Lol - I loved the Historian and Outlander series is in my top 10.

I THOUGHT you liked Outlander. That's one reason I mentioned it.

I liked the Historian, but I liked it better than ADoW.

Hmmm....ok food for thought. I'm only half way through Poet Prince so I can think it over.

It's YA right? That's why I listed the books I did in the OP. Apparently my memory is shit so I need to do some more research.

[msmerymac]

I wouldn't say totally YA. The main character is mid-to-late 20s, actually. More like Outlander. And Diana reminds me of Claire a little. Less sex, though, I think.

But it's going to be a trilogy, just like most YA now.

None if I remember correctly. I also didn't love it. It was ok, but I was glad I got it from the library, and I probably won't bother with any of the sequels. The main character was annoying, IMO.

[EllieArroway]

I thought it was just okay. It reminded me a lot of Outlander, which I also thought was okay but not amazing. If you love Outlander, you'll probably like it.

[hopecounts]

I enjoyed it and I like Outlander.
It did remind me of Outlander but without the sex.
It was a slow starter for me but then it picked up and O really got into it.

[amyb2332]

I haven't read it yet but I don't think it is YA. The one thing I have heard about it was that the ending was a bit frustrating. (At least, I think that was this book.) That people sort of felt like it was really setting up for the sequel. So I'm not sure I'm going to read it until the rest of the trilogy is out.

another good point. I hate waiting for books to be released. It kills me.
