![]() ![]() Crane has a great gift for story telling but the actual writing needs some serious attention. ![]() ![]() In spit of all of my criticism I am definitely going to read the next installment of this series and I really did like it. ![]() I understand that nearly every author has "something to say" in their work, but it was a little too soap-boxy. The author's agenda comes through in parts of the book at times too. Both characters are totally insecure, but I guess that's better than the female being a total insecure mess all by her poor little ole' self. It was also extremely overboard with the "I Love You's" and reassurances. Like, at times, I couldn't exactly make out that the character was supposed to have said. It also had a highly annoying amount of typographical errors. But I still highly doubt it's ever going to make my feminist side feel all warm and fuzzy. But then, I could see how in the plot that was one of the "changes" that might occur. Actually, it seemed a lot oppressive towards women at times. I think part of the reason I am a little conflicted about it is that it seemed a little oppressive towards women, bordering on misogynistic at times. I keep waffling on that so I gave it 4 because I like to give the benefit of the doubt and I DO feel like the series has some merit. Maybe it's only a 2 or 3 star book for me. It moved kind of slow but I was really excited about it while I was reading. I stayed up entirely too late reading it. ![]()
