She has a problem with pacing the stories. jh Send a noteboard - 04/10/2010 06:36:45 PM
Otherwise, the stories are fairly fresh, not very predictable apart from the blatantly obvious, and in general quite enjoyable.

Swainston is on the whole great with ideas, a good writer, and decent at storytelling. ;) At least judging from the three books I have bought.
