The characters live in Cooperatives, there has been a big war and there's an underlying theme of the planet dying but the story takes place in a boarding school that is seemingly removed from it all. The setting (both the school and what's happening in the outside world) are great for the story and having the added complexity of the world the characters come from not be what we're accustomed to, really adds to things.<br /><a href="http://www.captainjacksalaska.com/seafood/pc/Alaskan-Halibut-c2.htm" rel="nofollow">Top Site for Alaskan halibut Capt Jacks Alaska</a>grace crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741536528167580928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710197295088803295.post-47276427537285099772012-04-19T18:57:09.541-07:002012-04-19T18:57:09.541-07:00Oh and I agree with Ashley about the cover...did y...Oh and I agree with Ashley about the cover...did you see <a href="http://www.foreveryoungadult.com/wp-content/upload/2012/04/FYAwallpaper_apr2012.jpg" rel="nofollow">Forever YA's calendar</a> for this month?

I didn't get as excited about Harbinger as some people, but I do still want to read it at some point. I'm a sucker for boarding school, and I like strange, but we'll see. Not a priority knowing how you felt.

This is one case where I felt like EVERYONE seemed to be gushing and raving over this book and I just thought that the second half went a little...odd and the ending was rushed, like you mentioned. I liked the beginning, though, and I think it had potential. I liked the characters and the setting. It just fell flat somewhere in the last half to one-third, I thought. <br /><br />That cover, though? AMAZING. So beautiful with that moon and the red sash.

I wasn't planning to read this one because I had heard it was a strange book before and I wasn't totally interested in it anyway so your review enabled me to really make my mind about it.
