The writing style is lyrical. I fell in love with the descriptive passages and the way the author taught me about each and every character involved in this. It does involve a bit of complicated politics, but I still think its a story you will enjoy.Gina @ My Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895568426820464572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-4875355010793948822012-11-04T17:26:56.931-05:002012-11-04T17:26:56.931-05:00I really like what you had to say here about it al...I really like what you had to say here about it almost feeling wrong to read such a beautiful fantasy world on an ereader because I often feel that way about certain books - that I am so happy that I have the physical book to read, to really immerse myself in the world. I'm glad your reason for DNF-ing wasn't for a bad reason and I'll be curious to read your thoughts once you've had the chance to read the entire book!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-24296338293497406682012-10-28T07:55:47.217-04:002012-10-28T07:55:47.217-04:00I was all yoiksy when I saw the DNF, but I'm g...I was all yoiksy when I saw the DNF, but I'm glad it was for good reason, and hope you have the chance to get back to it soon!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835101886202235868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-83443887484080683662012-10-26T20:17:55.550-04:002012-10-26T20:17:55.550-04:00Sounds good, even though it does seem like it'...Sounds good, even though it does seem like it's slow.<br />I do understand that some galleys don't lend themselves to the e-medium. I remember a couple of months ago I kind of deducted a few points from this book I read because the galley was in manuscript format and it was just tiresome to read. <br /><br />Hopefully you get a hard copy of it soon!

I had that with Stormdancer. There are just some books that need to be read from a hard copy (I much prefer that way anyways). Hope you can get back to it soon and that's its better for you :)Andrea @ Cozy Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956494599005857082noreply@blogger.com
