It should have been my kind of book, but it never got there. The problem was I didn't really connected with the characters, and I didn't care what happened to them. Thinking back, I can see what you say about their conflicted relationship, but the sense I have is that it was rather lost on the writing style. In the end I wasn't getting anything out of the book besides a bit of disappointment and I was forcing myself to read it, so I called it quits.<br /><br />Maybe it does get better after where I stopped. Maybe it just wasn't a book for me like I thought it would be. But the truth is that it didn't work out for me.Quiguihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602742240626521732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703407003551541113.post-38944251820175698212011-05-22T05:15:41.921+01:002011-05-22T05:15:41.921+01:00One of my favorite series of books ever.

The relationship is between these two is very interesting, conflicted and exciting. Whoever wrote this review lacks imagination and basic comprehension and decided they were smart enough to write a review with out ever actually reading the book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703407003551541113.post-58172565300924531022010-11-05T11:51:15.036+00:002010-11-05T11:51:15.036+00:00I really like your ending.

This one was just ...Thank you for being my witness. This one was just unfinishable. I managed to read 3 other books while trying to read this one, and almost finished a 4th one. The sheer size of this one was also a big problem. Reading 300+ pages felt like an eternity wasted, I just couldn't push myself to read another 250.<br /><br />As to becoming an YA reader - I always was an YA reader, although I read less and less of it these days. But I always liked my <i>alternative</i> books :D (And Mordred's Curse is not YA by any means, and I'm quite enjoying it)Quiguihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602742240626521732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703407003551541113.post-39930432840534402952010-11-05T11:06:04.699+00:002010-11-05T11:06:04.699+00:00(btw, I think you're metamorphosing quigui...f...(btw, I think you're metamorphosing quigui...from an alternative reader to an YA reader xD ...kidding, kidding, don't poke me in the eye *ahah*)jen7watershttp://cuidadocomodalmata.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703407003551541113.post-59777543139335059022010-11-05T11:01:28.202+00:002010-11-05T11:01:28.202+00:00I can be your witness if you like, for I can swear...I can be your witness if you like, for I can swear upon my honor that you are one of those very very very patient readers who always gives one more chance to an awful book. I'm sure poking one's eye would be more pleasant than reading this book, if you, above all people, couldn't finish it.jen7watershttp://cuidadocomodalmata.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
