Good to know that it's better to read the three books without too much time between them, lest it starts to get confusing (sounds like Song of Ice and Fire, but no way I'm re-reading all those books). <br />A pity though that Prisoner of Heaven let you down a bit :(Chinoiserieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676489630557961558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-68112233459061800122013-01-03T12:54:30.738-06:002013-01-03T12:54:30.738-06:00I haven't read any of the books in the series ...I haven't read any of the books in the series and think I may have given away my copy of The Angel's Game.

The first book is also a favorite of mine, and I liked this one a lot, but not enough to move it to the top spot. I agree that the books should be read in order, because if not, there is so much that the reader misses out on. I'm glad that you got to share this one with your sister and brother though. I wish I had siblings to read with!!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.com
