I get that it requires a different structure/style and not everyone adapts easily to it, but I have noticed that the ones that truly add value to a series (and aren't just freebie fillers, like you mentioned, and primarily marketing material) tend to be the ones whose series are really great, too. As such, I REALLY have to start this series soon! I have heard such good things about it, and seeing you give the short story 5 stars just whets my appetite even more.<br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://backinthemidnightgarden.blogspot.com/2012/03/masque-of-red-death-by-bethany-griffin.html" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-51601665164078491682012-03-26T23:25:01.329-04:002012-03-26T23:25:01.329-04:00I'm reading Torrent now and though I'm not...I'm reading Torrent now and though I'm not loving it like you, I'm still tearing through it.
