I'm currently reading Divergent (yeah i'm late) and Throne of Glass. I'm only on page sixteen but I don't like the prose/character in Divergent, it seems very flat to me. I hope it'll pick up.
I'm also about to get The Young Elites by Marie Lu, Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake, and Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard.
Books I've just finished include Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard and Sarah J Maas's new faerie series. Red Queen was entertaining, but I feel I'll forget it soon. The main character is absolutely insufferable. A Court of Thorns and Roses (Maas's first installment) was poetic and pretty to read. The next book, A Court of Mist and Fury, was absolutely amazing though. One of my favorite books ever. I can't wait for the next installment.
I'm really hoping Throne of Glass will be good too, but I've heard it's not as hardcore as it claims to be. Hopefully that changes in the next book
