It's been such a long time since I last posted but I was too busy with school.No that Christmas is finally almost here,I have more free time.So once I saw that Opal was to come out sooner than expected,I made sure to get my hands on one of the copies......
Opal (Lux #3)
By Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
"Do you ever stop talking?"
"When I'm sleeping," Blake replied.
"And when you're dead," Daemon threw back. "You'll stop talking when you're dead."
Blake's lips thinned. "Point taken.” -Daemon and Blake
What has just happend???
I cannot believe that I have to wait until July to find out more...
Ok.Let's start from the beginning!!!
When I started reading Opal I was all happy and I was right to be so.Later I was more than trilled especially when reading Daemon and Kat scenes.As I neared the end,though,I felt something was sooooooo wrong.And It was.In the very last page........
Oh my God!After I finished the book I couldn't stop crying and to think that I'll have to wait until July to read Origin.I want to get my hands on an advanced copy right now.I just can't wait.I'm so sad and pissed and want to kill Blake right now.The IDIOT.I can't believe he did that to her....
What I actually loved(except from the whole book)was this particular scene(THE SCENE) between Daemn and Kat.I just adored them.They have progressed so much.I loooooooved Daemon.Especially his behaviour around Kat.He was funny,sweeet,protective(over-protective actually),he cared so much for her and ok let's face it there were times that I wanted to choke him.Kat,on the other hand,has matured and is dealing with some problems,one of which is her friends or the lack of it.Dee is no longer talking to her,while her other friends are slipping away,as well.
Dawson,oh Dawson!!!There were times that I felt sorry for him and there were others(one particular) that I could but blame him for the tragedy that came upon Kat.
And finally,Dee,who apparently stopped grieving and is now seeking revenge.There was even one scene that she punched Blake.Well done Dee!!!
Blake(who I hope he chokes) is the character that confused me the most.I can't say that I liked him,bearing in mind that he killed Adam,but I didn't disliked him either(that until I read the last chapter).In the beginning of the book I kind of pitied him,as everyone was against him.That changed though.Pity became like,like became anger and anger led to this dangerous feelings that I have for him.I still can't believe that he not only betrayed them but abandoned them as well.
Poor Daemon.Poor Kat.They only ones that actually did win something were Dawson and Beth,who finally found each other.I don't have the patience to wait to till July.I want to know now.
Opal is must read and must have for every shelf.I would just suggest that you don't read the book right away(as I did and now regret) but wait until mid June so as not to wait for Origin.And believe me,from where I stand It seems a long wait(not to mention that I ruined my Christmas).But If you are desperate to read it,go ahead.But keep in mind that the following book doesn't come out until JULY...
Blurb:
No one is like Daemon Black.
When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something I’ll do again, and now that we’ve made it through the rough patches, well... There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.
But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.
After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.
Together we’re stronger... and they know it.

Eeeep!! I got this today after a mini heart attack in the morning when Barnes & Noble said they didn't have it in Nook format (luckily the issue was resolved)I''m reading it right now and I'm loving it!! Daemon and Katy are awesome together Jennifer Armentrout is like my idol :D Great review.

Thank you,I hope you enjoy it!!!!
DeleteI couldn't even finish it! - something utterly wrong with me :-(
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should finish it....
DeleteI've been so scared to read it. I won't be able to live if they still don't have that spunky relationship that they had in the first book. So many books loose it after the two main characters get together.
ReplyDeleteThat is not the problem with Opal...
DeleteRead and you'll figure it out!!!!
Ahh I love Opal! I remember finishing it for the first time because it was like, 1am and I was trying really hard not to wake the whole house up because the ending was just... asdfghjkl;
ReplyDeleteKnow what I mean?
Love your blog background by the way! I also love stumbling across another teenage blogger - and you love Vampire Academy!
HIGH FIVE!
:)
