really? I thought she had great storytelling LadyLorraine - 29/11/2011 04:31:05 PM 813 Views
Average, in this sense, is not an insult. Jacob - 29/11/2011 07:28:52 PM 996 Views
oh fair enough. I wasn't trying to argue with you LadyLorraine - 29/11/2011 08:28:27 PM 731 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 773 Views

Re: One of the major differences between Phaedre and Imriel is extremely simple. RomaVenkat - 29/12/2011 01:48:10 AM 912 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 770 Views
