B...it's ok Cecile, you have had a busy month :D<br />But yes a blurb sells the book. I hate books where I can't even find what it's about, just some quotes that it's good. Well then I can't buy it cos I do not know what it's aboutBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-41340804075573122322009-11-05T03:35:59.635+02:002009-11-05T03:35:59.635+02:00Blodeuedd, I am so sorry I am so behind!!!!

No...Thanks Staci,<br />That is always nice to hear.<br /><br />EH,<br />Not the first time, but I do not get why they couldn't have mentioned it.

I always see books like this in paranormal romance.<br /><br />Dunno, I have read the blurb for book 1 and there they talk about one couple too so perhaps I would have the same issues there. But then I would have known that this would be her style. So that would have gone easier. In that other aspect I didn't feel confused, I did check book 1 and got that point of the books. She succeeded in that, I could read it easily.<br /><br />As for finishing, well, I honestly don't know. There are books I would rather spend my money on. That big wishlist you know. So perhaps I will just leave it at this one.Blodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-27422350269409929062009-11-02T10:21:07.527+02:002009-11-02T10:21:07.527+02:00I understand your grouse.. blurb not reflecting th...I understand your grouse.. blurb not reflecting the book, that is annoying...<br /><br />I have read Ms. Jones Contemp before and I like her - not read any fantasy by her...<br /><br />Thanks for your round up.<br /><br />E.H>Erotic Horizonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02236771670599353453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-70936538223327806372009-11-02T01:21:22.643+02:002009-11-02T01:21:22.643+02:00Not really my type of book but I loved reading you...Not really my type of book but I loved reading your review the best!!!Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-78749923725156732772009-11-01T21:43:09.643+02:002009-11-01T21:43:09.643+02:00Laitan nyt laiskuuttani suomeksi :)
Olen lukenut ...Laitan nyt laiskuuttani suomeksi :)<br /><br />Olen lukenut sekä ensimmäisen että tämän toisen osan. Minustakin sarja on selkeästi "fantasy romance"- nimikkeen alle kuuluva. Onneksi tiesin tästä, joten pystyin asennoitumaan lukemiseen oikein: tiesin siis mitä oli luvassa. Muistaakseni ekassakin osassa seurattiin useampaa henkilöä, joten kakkososassa se ei enää yllättänyt. Ehkä tämä sarja tietyssä mielessä kannattaa lukea järjestyksessä, että näkisi kirjailijan tyylin, millainen maailma on, mikä on juonen taustaidea jne. Sen vuoksi hypätessä suoraan kakkososaan voi olo tuntua hieman eksyneeltä.<br /><br />Minä ajattelin lukea vielä sarjan päätösosan. Kunhan vaan saan aikaiseksi ostettua sen... Aiotko sinä jatkaa trilogian parissa?Maijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10488447744786260828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-26733253765346669832009-11-01T18:35:49.477+02:002009-11-01T18:35:49.477+02:00A good blurb is really important for me.

I recently read one, well you know the chick-lit, where first it was one POV and tense, then other POVS and tense. That got really confusing.<br /><br />But despite all of this it was a good book :)<br />And no I have not read the other books but I am interested.<br /><br />Hi Hawk :)<br />Oh yes good blurbs are soooo important! I hate blurbs sometimes, it shows that the one that wrote them have not even read the book cos they are confusing and has major flaws.<br />And here it could really have spelled out that there would be one more story.Blodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-82045738449607593372009-11-01T12:34:27.371+02:002009-11-01T12:34:27.371+02:00B-

Cos that is what I think of paranormal romance too, and this is, yes fantasy with romance.<br /><br />Truth be told there is no revenge at all, we are lead to think so cos of that blurb. And yes she is pissed at Meron but we find out at once that it is really he who should eb angry at her.Blodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-22603149748531798342009-11-01T11:15:36.842+02:002009-11-01T11:15:36.842+02:00Oh I hate it when the Blurb doesn't say there ...Oh I hate it when the Blurb doesn't say there are two side plots. Must be really confusing to read it. <br />I recently read a book where the POV changed not only from chapter to chapter but sometimes in the middle of one. And I always thought:"Why does the girl think like a man?" before I realized the POV changed again. *headdesk*<br />I sometimes wonder why they have so many problems with shelving the books in the right genre. Can't be that tough?<br />Book sound really nice.

I would have called this fantasy with romantic elements. (I do like the fantasy romance sub-genre you've come up with, lol.)<br /><br />I dislike it when I don't know two stories are involved in one book, they should have put that in the blurb.<br /><br />The story sounds interesting though, is the revenge against the Emperor or Merin?<br /><br />Dottie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688849410604429533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-36663039001284964322009-11-01T02:30:56.863+02:002009-11-01T02:30:56.863+02:00I've heard of Linda Winstead Jones but I hadn&...I've heard of Linda Winstead Jones but I hadn't heard of this book.
