Fair enough. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 25/04/2010 08:48:53 PM
The beginning was... too simple, in a way. I can't really put my finger on what it is that annoys me about it, but I feel the story got more alive the further in you got into the first book, and really shone first in the second and third book...

I can see that. Just after I made this post, I read the bit where they go through the gate and I agree. :P

I will not have time to join in the reading now, perhaps when summer comes, then I only have to work. But I feel I know much of these books by heart, at least the first four or five or so, so I might comment if you do posts.

Sounds good. :)

Eh it didn't really capture my interest. Her prose is difficult to read Dark Knight - 25/04/2010 04:29:08 PM 563 Views

See, I like these books, but looking back at it, the first book seems... underdeveloped. jh - 25/04/2010 08:45:27 PM 607 Views
Fair enough. Rebekah - 25/04/2010 08:48:53 PM 654 Views

About that flying below the radar of most readers... Legolas - 25/04/2010 05:10:40 PM 778 Views
That's a good point. Chas - 25/04/2010 06:39:09 PM 654 Views
That's interesting. Rebekah - 25/04/2010 08:27:40 PM 642 Views
Probably something like that. jh - 25/04/2010 08:38:42 PM 607 Views
That seems unlikely, she is American after all... Legolas - 25/04/2010 08:56:53 PM 564 Views
It is possible for an American not to sell well in her own country. *NM* Rebekah - 25/04/2010 09:12:36 PM 250 Views
Nah, there has been something strange with her US publisher. jh - 25/04/2010 09:24:28 PM 569 Views
