I'm curious enough to read the spoilers from the next novels, but even those who like the series have said the writing gets worse as the series goes on, so I think I'll stop where I am:-)nomadreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795144320842413060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-39661493465024124212012-12-18T08:07:29.203-05:002012-12-18T08:07:29.203-05:00Thanks, Vasilly.

The premise is fascinating and many, many people love it. As much as I didn't like it, I <i>am</i> glad I read it. It's part of our cultural lexicon in many ways, and I am fascinated by times long, long, long ago.nomadreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795144320842413060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-88815608704102677462012-12-18T08:03:57.006-05:002012-12-18T08:03:57.006-05:00Jackie, I think forming a bond with Ayla is key in...Jackie, I think forming a bond with Ayla is key in this novel, and I never quite did. Without that investment, it came to be redundant and telegraphed for me. There have certainly been many books I've forgiven for those faults when I loved the characters. I'm looking forward to the discussion too--eve though I didn't like the book, there is much to discuss!nomadreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795144320842413060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-27647159850876950772012-12-18T06:40:42.105-05:002012-12-18T06:40:42.105-05:00A friend raved about the audio version of this boo...A friend raved about the audio version of this book, but from what you wrote, I don't think it is for me.

I admit that it sometimes lacked subtlety, but I formed a deep bond with Ayla and loved discovering what would happen to her.
