Anyways, I love being able to quote funny things that characters have said. <br /><br />I've never heard of that book but yes, it can be too much! Hm...maybe I should write a blog post about writing too much description?Sarehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829472672254117776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954787269965393587.post-48920002893433531042011-10-01T19:48:29.705-05:002011-10-01T19:48:29.705-05:00And we like to be able to quote funny stuff charac...And we like to be able to quote funny stuff characters have said. Imagine Harry Potter without Ron's muttering or Fred and George with their jokes!<br /><br />I read Spindles End by Robin Mkinley or something and the description was so heavy, I just wanted to die.KamilleEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845951906601926878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954787269965393587.post-50397795795041346902011-09-29T20:41:33.508-05:002011-09-29T20:41:33.508-05:00There was this one book I just read where the desc...There was this one book I just read where the description was too much. I can't remember what the book was called but it ruined the story for me. But I understand where you're coming from. People like description but at the same time, we like using our imaginations.Sarehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829472672254117776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954787269965393587.post-30936622401887403712011-09-29T13:23:37.995-05:002011-09-29T13:23:37.995-05:00I don't really like the writing style.

I understand the Gothic is poetic and beautiful but sometimes you don't need to spend ten lines describing one single action.KamilleEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845951906601926878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954787269965393587.post-71850347893109961042011-09-25T16:18:45.166-05:002011-09-25T16:18:45.166-05:00No problem.

The rest of the series has a faster pace but the second book kinda ruined the whole thing for me. I have the review of the second book up if you'd like to check that one out too. My favorite part about the series was the writing style and the prophecy cause it sounds cool.Sarehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829472672254117776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954787269965393587.post-26232832862256124952011-09-25T12:53:49.061-05:002011-09-25T12:53:49.061-05:00I'm reading the first book of the series right...I'm reading the first book of the series right now and I'm surprised you made it to the third. It's a big of a drag to read and is too slow for me. <br /><br />But thanks for the review. maybe I'll carry on reading in the hope it gets better.KamilleEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845951906601926878noreply@blogger.com
