This was probably the best I've read of the series yet. It follows the HBO show season 3 pretty well, however, I found that the epilogue was probably one of the most compelling parts of the book. Hinting at parts that weren't fully explored in the show (obviously). I listened to this book, and though that Roy Detrice (butchered that) was fantastic. Really happy with how this turned out to be, because it's such a large chunk of time and that would have sucked if it ended up like a Clash of Kings (yikes).

I Loveddd this book. I thought it was extremely well done and totally captivating throughout the entirety of the story. It has something for everyone here: action, an underdog, betrayal, quest, love, friendship, hardship, etc. This book was unlike anything I have ever read. Set in a futuristic world, there was also some alarm as it did a really good job of potentially predicting what the world may look like in the 2040s. I do think we are progressing that way technologically. I don't want to dive in too much, but if you are looking for a sci-fi quest novel with the above themes that is equal parts endearing and entertaining, then look no further! Highly recommend for al geeks/nerds, and lovers of all things 1980s.

Ya know... I'm not really sure what was happening. At like any point of this book. I loved the first, Damned, though at times it was slow (interestingly enough those points were where chuck fanned his extravagant vocabulary and provocative sexual innuendos). The first this was bearable, this Doomed left me feeling just that. I had ended up listening audiobook style which left me even more wtf???? than I was just reading. Real disappointed. I'm a big fan of Chuck's work, loooooved Invisible Monsters (read 2x which never happens) but this was a sad excuse for a sequel. Makes me wanna throw him in the streets like, SHAME ! SHAME ! SHAME ! (GOT crowd style)

FINALLY a psychological thriller author actually worth celebrating. As a disclaimer: I've read a lot of these. Like A LOT. Which made me think that I was going to be able to guess every little element of this storyline. I was wrong. The plot, typical woman gets letter in the mail indicating she could be heir to a good amount of money... you know how it goes. But Ruth Ware actually has a gift for intriguing writing. Her style is so brilliant and the details so precisely placed that it made even the most typical of stories really engaging and thrilling. I must also note that I listened to this via audiobook, narrated my Imogen Church—fantastic. Her skill in reading really brought life into the story through the view of the main character (Hal). Really recommend Ruth Ware. I also liked ‘In a Dark Dark Wood', l'll have to go back to that one for an exciting reread soon.
