Broken Earth was a quick and easy read. Shattered Hearts followed along the same lines. It was a simple read, though I found myself confused a lot at the beginning because there wasn't a lot of revisiting what happened in the first book. I had to check back with Broken Earth to make sure I wasn't missing something. Still, I enjoyed joining Jess and her family on their journey in search of the "Promised Land."Mollie, our very own blind Irish "witch" was hilarious as ever, her and little Lucie the comic relief in a relatively dark world. There are moments were I couldn't believe what was happening (shock is putting it mildly), but for the most part, what happened was expected. I will say, though, I did not like Ian in this book (my reasons are justified). He was...let's just say I lost respect for him.The only reason why I gave this three stars instead of four, was because of the frequent punctuation mishaps (stickler for grammar), and the slow pacing. It picks up about halfway through the book, but the build-up was a little slow for my tastes. With that said, if there is another book in the series, which is what I'm assuming, I'll definitely be checking it out.
