4 out of 5 stars Goodreads perfectly describes Lifel1k3 as "part Romeo and Juliet, part Terminator" - and that is awesome.

3.5 out of 5 stars 147 hours and 43 minutes of audiobook. Just over six entire days. The complete Throne of Glass series. To call the Throne of Glass series "epic" is a laughable understatement.

4.5 stars out of 5 Sequels are never better than the originals, except this book. And The Empire Strikes Back. Predator's Gold is like the boxcar of kids' dreams: cobbled together from clever pieces of machinery, stuffed with a ragtag crew, clanking and whirring toward an epic adventure. Goodreads.com: Predator's Gold, by Philip Reeve (Mortal … Continue reading Review: Predator’s Gold
