If There Be Thorns was when Jory was 14 and Bart was 10, and Seeds of Yesterday occurred when they were in their twenties and thirties and Cathy and Chris were in their fifties. She just skips, skips and skips through everyone's lives, and leaves out the miniature details and just gives us the big plot twists and reveals a lot of shocking secrets that the characters are hiding. (And probably 5 more people's too.)Īndrews is an author who doesn't care about time and length. Just letting you know, there's one final book after this that takes place in the past in Olivia's POV. The first two books are perfect for a duelogy. But behind it all, these weren't really needed.

Andrews came up with more ideas and cliffhangers and decided to write two more large books that deal with this family. So I guess you could say that these two books weren't really needed at all, but since the rave for this series, V.C. More drama, more messed up romance, but the same family is behind it all.

Well of course, Andrews mixes everything around and messes our minds up with many POVs. This is written in the perspectives of their children, Jory and Bart. Yes, Andrews has absolutely gone CRAZY with this, but it's okay, I support it. So don't think I hated this book or anything, although I can't deny that it's my favourite novel, either.Īfter the craziness in the first two books and after we were left off with a pretty big cliffhanger in the end of the sequel, we jump straight into the future of Cathy and Chris's lives, where they are all grown up and are pure adults, and they are married. It's just the perfect effect she creates. She can make things rough, sad and everything else in between with just the snap of her fingers. Although she confuses us like hell (which all of us can understand once we read one of her books), her writing is like munching into your most favourite food.

I feel like it has been dragged on for too long. I was trying to remind myself of the feelings and love I had for the first two fantastic books, but I didn't feel a craze and adoration for these books. Andrews was trying to create the luxury and amazingness that she did with the first two books in the Dollanganger series, but these two didn't really cut it.
