Reading this serial was an interesting, choppy experience. I received surprise ARC’s of the first four installments back in May, but I didn’t get the two final parts until last week. So I did get to read the serial as a serial, but not in the way it was intended (although obviously there’s no right or wrong ways to approach a serial). This didn’t really affect my enjoyment because I really liked each part, so not knowing when or if I would be getting early review copies only increased my anticipation. I’m very happy with the final product, and I feel like it was money well spent (I pre-ordered all the parts months ago), but as much as I loved TKK, I haven’t changed my mind about serials, even though I’m more willing to read them as serials (as opposed to just waiting to read all the parts at once), so I guess there’s that.
I hope you enjoy my vague, gushing, slightly repetitive review. And if you decide to try the book, come back and let me know how you liked it!
I've seen the parts of this advertised a few times. The fact that it's a serial put me off, mainly because I've never read any serial format series. Glad to hear you enjoyed it! And since it's now been released in its entirety, I might give it a shot :D
ReplyDeleteI think it's going to be released as a compiled volume at one point (don't quote me on that, though) so maybe that would be easier to get/read than just downloading each part. But I do highly recommend it and if you're not familiar with the previous book, it stands alone well. If you read it, come back and let me know how you like it ;-)
