(or sometimes consonants - depending on the author...)

By the end I was mostly in the swing of it, but for a lot of the beginning and middle, I felt like I was reading a Russian novel, with all the attendant difficulties of that. :pJenny @ Reading the Endhttp://readingtheend.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-45228902279285153872014-06-19T18:07:16.476-05:002014-06-19T18:07:16.476-05:00I have this one, but I found it hard to get into. ...I have this one, but I found it hard to get into.

It is unusual to find a stand-alone fantasy novel anymore, so I like it for that alone, even if there is a sequel set in the same world.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.com
