I'm not loving it. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 10/02/2011 05:19:12 PM
There are bits that are gorgeous, and there are bits that are so slow I almost fall asleep and her writing isn't enough to pull those bits out of mediocrity. Which upsets me, because usually her writing is lovely.

I really do want to find out what happens with the characters, and the stories are adorable, but I'm not overwhelmed. Maybe it will pick up.
