Some parts were interesting? But a lot of it was vague/muddled, repetitive and not terribly critical. They could have used a better editor or two for clarity especially, and typos (for the foreign words that is. F.e. they were pretty consequent in writing usucha, which is the correct term I think, and then suddenly used usacha for a whole subchapter) etc.
would've gotten 5 stars if PSB wasn't so fucking attached to his traditional gender roles. i do love that she doesn't stay human for him though and that Lír doesn't get the girl in the end. it was a beautiful ending, and a bit sad, just how i like it. :))really well read by PSB though!
I definitely liked reading C&P better, as it was way more amusing, but TBK gave me so much more feels. >.
Lady Be Good
The gay people in her books always seem to be just props to show how good the main characters are, it gets a bit boring. Why no subplot where a gay character gets their guy/gal?
I suppose it's because I'm no experienced walker, but I would have liked more walks with properly marked roads... :/
I didn't expect this to be this good! A good thing the sex was never explicit though, because I doubt I could have handled it. I felt uncomfortable enough at the idea of it. I like it when characters suffer, but that doesn't mean I want to read about it in detail.
The Selection
Haha, this was terrible, but very compelling!Also, Aspen, the "I don't want you to earn more than me because you're a woman and I'm a man" thing is very unattractive. :((( And I hope Marlee is gay and runs off with Celeste maybe.
