I always prefer to read a story from start to finish. Waiting for the next book in a series is definitely not for me! I'd rather not start than not finish! Being able to get all three books in this trilogy made it especially luring. Ultimately, I'm glad I gave this set of books a chance. I loved and hated the characters as if they were real. I also enjoyed reading the stories from the perspective of each main character. Being able to read each character's perspective gave depth to both the characters and the story in general. I will be seeking out other works that are available from this author!
