The Tiger Saga

I did a more detailed first impression of the first book, so I'm going to keep this one a lot more brief. Encompassing Tiger's Quest, Tiger's Voyage and Tiger's Destiny, I have one word for them, AH-FREAKING-MAZING!! This series was so good I forgot to watch the Vampire Diaries!! I FORGOT VAMPIRE DIARIES!!! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!! I have spent the past 5 days vigorously reading like a maniac and only getting 5hrs sleep. I haven't even been eating properly. Considering I spent 2 of those days working 10.5hrs I'd consider my ability to read all four books that fast as an obsessive compulsion. They consumed me and lead me down one of the craziest emotional rollercoaster's of my life.  
I couldn't put it down, like I literally would put the book down, try to go to bed, and then start reading again. When I would FINALLY force the book out of my hands by giving it to my husband because I knew I had to work I would think about it until I fell asleep. The past 3 nights I've had off so I read until I could not keep my eyes open anymore, (which was around 5am)  and even then I was pretty stubborn and would try and keep reading. In fact, last night I dreamed about the books all night... or rather all morning... 

I am completely engulfed, and I don't want to be saved. If these books aren't under the Christmas Tree I will be disappointed! The only reason why I'm not restarting book 1 is because I still need to read 30 more books by December 31st. I read these books with such fervor I don't feel ready to start a new book because I feel like I need to just sit on this one for a bit. There was so much, my brain feels overloaded and I want to soak up every detail! I've even considered taking Hindi as an elective in school next year because I never realized what a pretty language it was. Go read these books, and make sure you have nothing to do because trust me when I say it is SO easy to just say "one more chapter". One more chapter leads into one more break which leads into one more page which leads into one more paragraph, which leads into one more sentence, which leads into "I'll just read to the end of the chapter"... and then BAM! Its 5 o'clock in the morning and you're eyes are feeling really droopy, but you keep reading saying "I just need to finish this story thought, I'll stop when they pause"... and then you're asleep on the couch. I will leave you with two quotes. They are both from Tiger's Destiny since that's the one I just finished. There's no spoilers.

"Somehow I made my way upstairs and washed my face and hands. I walked into my closet and discarded several items of clothing. Angrily, I tore through my closet, ripping clothes off hangers and throwing them violently across the room. I shredded the plastic wrapping on new clothes, then wadded the skirts into balls and pitched them at the wall.
       When that wasn't satisfying, I started on the shoes. I picked out the heaviest and hurled them. They each hit the wall with a gratifying bang. When I ran out of ammunition, I used my fists. I punched the wall over and over again until I tore the skin across my knuckles. Tears streamed down my face, and I collapsed into a wounded heap on top of my pile of shoes.
A shadow fell over my body. "What can I do?" Ren asked. He sat on the floor of my closet and pulled me into his lap.
I sniffed. "I don't have anything to wear."
"I can see that. Someone destroyed your closet while we were away."
I laughed wetly and then sobbed." (pg. 84)

"Cool? You are a devastatingly beautiful angel of death. If death came for me and it looked like you, I'd go willingly." (pg. 376)
