Review, Interview & Giveaway – The Guardians by T.M. Franklin

Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction Giveaways (Ended), Reviews 3 ★★★★½

The Guardians is an exciting sequel to MORE – I loved this book even more than the first book in the series!! We get to learn more about the Race and see our favorite characters put in all sorts of perilous situations – what else can you ask for? The negatives: Could have used more Caleb and Ava? This is honestly getting very nitpicky. While thinking about this book, this is the only negative I could really come up with, but it didn’t even bother me all that much. Since the book starts out three months after book #1 ended, Caleb and Ava’s relationship has advanced quite a bit. We get to see their new bond, but Caleb and Ava are separated for a good portion of The Guardians, so we don’t get to see that relationship really develop as much as you might like. However, see below for an… Read more »
