There are just so many ways of writing fantasy and one can't click with everything.<br /><br /><br />@Mel<br />Wow, another person that felt like I did :D Cos yes that is sure how it was. As for me, well I only buy those books I loved and are dying to read more of. I do not even buy books from authors I liked so sadly no buying book 2. I always try to save money<br /><br /><br />@Liz<br />I guess some books are just like that<br /><br /><br />@Misha<br />Then perhaps you would enjoy this book. And sure even if a lot happened that was not always the thing that confused me. I guess I was just confused by the whole lot of it<br /><br /><br />@Naida<br />It happens now and again :=DBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-85086490932943410072011-07-24T21:47:55.871+03:002011-07-24T21:47:55.871+03:00Interesting that although the book wasn't your...Interesting that although the book wasn't your favorite, it left you craving more.
