Love the books MonCul Send a noteboard - 30/11/2011 04:53:22 PM
Didn't really see any similarities to Wot or ASoIaF. The books get better as they go along, and the 2nd trilogy is even better imo.

I did not find that she used a great deal from WoT or aSoIaF LadyLorraine - 29/11/2011 03:20:02 PM 1016 Views
Nor did I. I felt like it had very little in common with either. lord-of-shadow - 29/11/2011 05:35:53 PM 885 Views
Carey is a decent writer Jacob - 29/11/2011 04:03:45 PM 935 Views
really? I thought she had great storytelling LadyLorraine - 29/11/2011 04:31:05 PM 875 Views
Average, in this sense, is not an insult. Jacob - 29/11/2011 07:28:52 PM 1078 Views
oh fair enough. I wasn't trying to argue with you LadyLorraine - 29/11/2011 08:28:27 PM 792 Views
I actually felt like the trilogy gained a lot of depth as it went on - the third book was the best. lord-of-shadow - 29/11/2011 05:34:28 PM 835 Views
Only if you really bought into the Phedre character. Jacob - 29/11/2011 07:18:59 PM 974 Views
I agree about the consistency. And possibly about the storytelling. Legolas - 29/11/2011 06:25:52 PM 1043 Views

I agree about the second series LadyLorraine - 29/11/2011 08:31:08 PM 887 Views
Re: One of the major differences between Phaedre and Imriel is extremely simple. RomaVenkat - 29/12/2011 01:48:10 AM 975 Views
That's true... but I don't really think it's the decisive factor for me. Legolas - 29/12/2011 07:18:06 PM 866 Views

Of course, you have to make allowances for a bat-shit insane culture Cannoli - 01/12/2011 05:02:27 AM 839 Views
I don't think I can come up with 10 fantasy cultures/mythologies which stand up to close examination *NM* Ghavrel - 01/12/2011 09:11:07 AM 351 Views
I'm not even sure what one is "examining" *NM* LadyLorraine - 02/12/2011 01:49:27 PM 414 Views
