GRRRR. But, this book is so fun and adorable that I don't mind writing the review twice :-) I was lucky enough to get to read this very early and take a trip to Italy with Pippa. Kristin did her homework and does a fantastic job of relaying that research into the book without it feeling overwhelming or like info-dumping. I could almost smell the pizza and see the villages of Cinque Terre spread before me. I'll warn you that you'll want to immediately start checking prices to Italy after you finish the book. ...more

NoAfter attending a class presented by the author, I knew I had to get this book. I had to digest it very slowly because it really resonated with me. Now I plan to go back & use the exercises with my current manuscript. This book will have a permanent place on my desk along with only a handful of other craft books. The insight into character and how to effectively mold your characters and use them to shape your plot is superb....more
Really enjoyed this book and read it in two chunks. There is tension on every page but also a lightness that seeps in despite Meg's best efforts.

The family dynamic and Meg's inner turmoil felt very real to me. Highly recommend checking this one out....more

I liked how the focus wasn't romance and that Mercy held her own among werewolves and vampires and fairies. I'll definitely continue in the series....more
I loved The False Prince, so (as I usually am with 2nd books in a trilogy), I was a bit fearful of reading The Runaway King. I shouldn't have worried I loved The False Prince, so (as I usually am with 2nd books in a trilogy), I was a bit fearful of reading The Runaway King. I shouldn't have worried at all. Book 1 wrapped up the big issues but definitely left room for some good tension in book 2, and it delivered. This series is well paced and has everything I want in a good fantasy. I can't wait to read the third book!...more

The action was intense, but there were definite moments to take a breath in between. I enjoyed the banter between the main characters and the tension of not just figuring out the loop but doing so while being pursued. If you enjoy very plot-driven novels, then you'll have a fun ride on The Loop!
