It sounds very good.<br /><br />Kath: You had trouble with Thornspell, as well, if I recall? Is it fairytale retellings you don't care for, maybe, or a particular style?Andienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-27646823199181043962010-02-05T11:34:37.628-07:002010-02-05T11:34:37.628-07:00Melissa, amen to both of those choices - absolutel...Melissa, amen to both of those choices - absolutely love them!<br /><br />Angie, I'm still having a hard time believing that was her first book! I imagine it can only get better from here!<br /><br />Kath, I don't know - three times? I don't think I'd try that hard on a book I couldn't get into, but for this one, maybe. :)melissa @ 1lbrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292714636311546457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-22576782136517791442010-02-04T16:05:16.301-07:002010-02-04T16:05:16.301-07:00I've checked this one out twice and couldnt ge...I've checked this one out twice and couldnt get into it.

Such a lovely writer.<br /><br />And I completely agree.
