I enjoyed The Goose Girl and its sequels.

I wonder if there's a more positive book.

I was also a bit clueless as to why Locke was infatuated (obsessed) with her. Perhaps the author was intentionally trying to undercut the reader expectations and show a grim character but for the life of me, their courtship just failed to hold my interest.<br /><br /> The same rinse & repeat patten of "offense-taking and groveling" didn't help but I'm hoping that the author can revert this series to its earlier awesomeness with book IV.<br /><br /> Mihir<br /><br /> PS: Have a lovely happy new year ahead.
