Bought from a charity shop in Blatchington Road, Hove on 11th August 2015.

Sent in the post to the winner of the Dental Sweepstakes!! Hope you enjoy....!

The sprouting of werewolf teeth every month and the resulting dental misalignment surely must be a dentist's nightmare! :D

...well, it looks like I won the first round of this lovely sweepstakes, and I'm certainly enjoying my toothy surprises. Thank you!!!

Bumped to the top of the tbr pile and reserved for lils74 in the reverse tag game.

Found this waiting in my mailbox today along with a beautiful card and some Christmas chocolates… thank you so much, linguistkris!

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. I don’t know what to say to this. Clearly there was something compelling because it kept me reading and I finished it, but, … I don’t know. Okay, here goes. So this book had a good and compelling plot, with a well-designed world populated by interesting and clever characters. But maybe it’s because the author is more used to making TV series, but it felt SO clumsily written. I know it’s an uncorrected proof, which explained the mistakes and could even explain the plot oddities and errors, but really, has this guy never heard of show-don’t-tell? There are long, long explanatory passages, and he seems so intent on letting you know what each character is thinking—all the time—that he never lets the action happen, never lets you form your own opinions about them. And even the way they talk is rather too unnatural. It’s like he’s trying to harp on the lesson, the moral, the right-and-wrong in everything that they do. Perhaps also, he should have included less characters but developed them a little better. Like Queen Amelie—what? She just came across as a weak cut-out. It’s hard to believe she could be that deluded for fifteen years, and not just offed the evil king in his sleep. All in all a good story, but not good writing. I was a bit surprised by this.

I left this book - with a "Pick me up I'm free" note stuck to the cover - on a comfy chair outside the rooms near the Himalayan Encounters office at the hotel. Happy travels, book!
