The ending was quite nice as well, and I'm really looking forward to the release of Earth Star!

The model looks far too weak and passive to be Jarra, and at no point does she hold a ball that looks like the world. I get why she's chained, but yikes. This concept really just isn't working. I want the UK cover something fierce.<br /><br />Agreed! That makes a point that's really hard to refute. You can swear up and down that there's a difference between the two types of people, but, when it comes down to it, you can't tell them apart without a label. <br /><br />I like that series a lot too, though it really goes up and down quality-wise.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-48809090592238892552013-03-05T11:22:33.170-05:002013-03-05T11:22:33.170-05:00Exciting!

The US cover is kind of the pits--not really something I'd want to keep forever BUT the story sounds amazing and your review makes me want it all the more. I love when characters in books spend time with people who think lesser of people "like them" but really those people know nothing about those they look down on. I'm currently listening to the second Mistborn book and it's interesting to me how groups can be discriminated against when you cannot even tell any difference between them without additional knowledge. <br /><br />The fact that you want to order the UK version of book two to get it earlier tells me all I need to know. I did that with a bunch of the Eyre Affair books and I love that series so much:) (though it is freaking all over the place lately) Flannery (The Readventurer)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00235116017210793386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-69882608349159155192013-03-04T21:45:03.582-05:002013-03-04T21:45:03.582-05:00Okay - I ordered this book (actual book) and not f...Okay - I ordered this book (actual book) and not for my kindle.
