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. :)

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

That seems unlikely, she is American after all... - 25/04/2010 08:56:53 PM 566 Views
Nah, there has been something strange with her US publisher. - 25/04/2010 09:24:28 PM 570 Views

Also: is it just me, or is Wurts really rubbish at writing about sex? - 24/06/2010 08:03:46 PM 585 Views
