Still really bad but crack-ish. Certain editing choices bug the hell out of me and certain characters/created conflict are really friggin' annoying but I'm still finding it enjoyable in its ridiculous way.

when i was fifteen, i thought this series was the shit. the writing wasn't great, but hey, the sexy parts were good, so it didn't matter that the plot was like swiss cheese sliced superthin, right? looking back, the fact that the sexy parts *are* the best parts of these books is pretty telling. the premises of the plot and characters aren't bad, and there are some parts that are actually interesting, but overall the series is repetitive and predictable, and probably not worth the time it'd take to get through all five.

The repetition can get a little old, but that's just a style thing with me. Still want to read the next one because I must know what happens.

Reread continues. This rough romp pushes all my popcorn entertainment buttons. Also really like the magic system!

Book 2 of the Blending series does not have enough luxurious, refreshing visits to (private) bath houses. There is plenty of tea-drinking, but Sharon Green is pretty withholding of information about the tea. We know that people are offering people tea, people are drinking it, or refusing it. The tea is drugged...But what KIND of tea?!?
Sort of frustrating. And yet, we did find out that some people put sugar in their tea. Some people (tamrissa) will, on occasion, inadvertently put TOO MUCH sugar in their tea. But of cream, or lemon wedges...we still know nothing.
The suspense is killing me, and I will definitely continue reading the series.

Second in The Blending series continues the slow build up from the first. The first time I read these I flew through and couldn't read fast enough. My enthusiasm has dimmed a little on the re-read, but I still give this series high scores. I remember the action picking up in book three, which I am looking forward to.

I enjoyed the book. Meeting the "other" characters was interesting. I have an extreme dislike for a couple of them, and one I don't mind so much.

In which we meet the villains of the first series, some of the most hateful yet pitiable specimens I've read. Despite the name of the series, we don't have a Blending by the end, but it's getting close to that time...

As with book one of the Blending series, once I started reading this I simply couldn't put it down. It was fun and entertaining, a great read!

Is definitely a bridging novel and somewhat lacklustre. The five main characters have to work on survival both magically and physically, the dice are loaded against them with the society they live in and things keep getting harder. Somewhat repetitive and you can see where the characters could have learned something by talking to each other but the biggest problem they all have is who to trust when they're all pitted against each other. If this was a standalone I probably wouldn't keep it but I'll wait until after reading the sequence before deciding about whether or not to keep them.
