The Cup of the World Audiobook

" This is a really twisted book! "

" When I first read this book, I wasn't wowed. But I came back later and read it again, and then I appreciated it so much more. Very good book, and totally worth it! "

" The plot was slow moving and seemingly purposefully confusing. Before I figured out what was actually going on the book was over "

" Interesting book. Perhaps a little slow, and I wasn't sure where it was going, but I am going to read the other books in the series and see if it gets better. "

" other reviewers got it right...beautiful imagery but flat plot "

" I found this book to be both confusing and enthralling. I thought the end was quite sad too....throughout the entire story, Phaedra just acted really weird. And spoiled. "

" This book was excteamly interesting and caught my attention right away. at frist the stroy made you think that the the main character was goin crazy but at the end you realize that the creatures are real and that they are being controled by some 300 year old prince. "

" An extremely captivating book that I fell in love with about halfway through. If you get bored in the first half of this book (it starts out slow) I beg you to push through. It turns out amazing!!! "

" Bad feeling afterward... don't read "

" Not great literature but compelling all the same. I listened to the first two and am reading the third. Thought maybe I liked the first two because of the reader but am zooming through the third. "

" Holy crap! I had no idea when i read the book that it was writtein in the 1800's. Oh well, it is pretty good fantasy fiction for that time. Kudos to the writer, i must say it reads like modern fiction. "

" This was on my list for a while. Not bad, not totally gripping either, but maybe it just wasn't quite up my alley. An interesting story. "

" I would have rated it a 4 but it was just a bit too oppressing. Not enough relief from the darkness. But...very well written and original (and not predictable) and I'm still interested enough to try #2. "

" It was really good in the beginning and I was captivated . . . until the middle of the book which slowed down drastically. I could barely get past a few chapters at once. Then it picked up speed the last fifteen chapters or so. I would definitely read the next book in the series! "

" I read this book about 7 years ago now and all I remember was that the beginning was rather romantic and the rest of the book was ominous fore-shadowing. The change in genre was really wierd. "

" I don't think I can pinpoint a reason, but I didn't like the story. <br/> <br/>Favorite quote: She took it--with atingling in her chest because she had been given what she dared not touch on the boat. "
