 BUDDY READ 
 I was send a copy of this a long time ago, and despite the gorgeous cover and the rave reviews and how awesome the blurb sounded, I just didn't pick it up. Then Jayd at Books, Food and Other Things tweeted that she was after some buddy reads for summer. Now I've only taken part in a couple of buddy reads, and I usually suck and never read on time, but once we agreed on what to read and I was off, I couldn't wait for the next day to come. 
 Reading 5 chapters of The Falconer a day was great - it broke the story up, gave me room to think about what I'd read. It gave me more time to sit and picture things. And it gave me more time to contemplate the book. 
 This book isn't the best in the world, but I really enjoyed reading it. I enjoyed the evil faeries and the steampunk technology, and the kick-ass fight scenes. 
 I don't like Aileana's name. It's just... It's just so freaking hipster looking. But the girl herself was strong and resilient and one hell of a fighter. 
 And I have to say I didn't like Kiaran. Sorry, Jayd! I know you liked him, but I was rooting for Gavin all the way. Something about Kiaran was just off. 
 The ending has been left wide open, quite a cliff-hanger. And with so long to go before the next book, I don't know if I have the patience or attention span to keep thinking of this book until then. 
 I wish I'd read this sooner. 
 I received a copy of this for free via Goodreads First Reads.
