Insurgent by Veronica Roth – Same complaints as with Divergent: dystopia with a world building that doesn't make sense (some explanation is given, unlike in book one, but still not enough to make it work), unlikable protagonist (maybe some teenagers are like that, but I wasn't so I found it hard to relate to her), present tense still annoying. 3/5 stars
Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout – Fast read but nothing much else to say about it. The book obsessed girl was cute, but the love interest was a jerk from beginning to end. 2/5 stars
The Summoning, The Awakening, The Reckoning by Kelley Armstrong – It wasn't what I expected when I started reading it. A bit simplistic and clunky in places but I got through all three books and was satisfied in the end, sort of. 3/5 stars
Bloodlines, The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead – It felt weaker than the Vampire Academy series. Sidney was more interesting when she remained a bit of a mystery, but now that we're in her head she's a bit stuck up and plain. Only recommended for Adrian fans. :) 3/5 stars
The Iron King, Winter's Passing, The Iron Princess, The Iron Queen, Summer's Crossing, The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa – Well, there goes another long series. It works well, even if there's a bit too much description for my taste, and the girl is not annoying for a change. Aside for the fact that I'll never understand how a several hundred years old man can fall for a sixteen years old girl, Ash was interesting enough until he fell in love and turned into a doormat. Being inside Puck's head was fun, but in Ash's head was not so The Iron Knight was a pain to read. 3/5 stars
