It sounds really interesting, and as you say, a little different.

Maybe it's time to read something totally different? The Orphan's Tales sounds like a good read. I'll see if my library has it.

For some reason, I just couldn't get into it, and <br />In the Cities of Coin and Spice remains unread.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-14582661141088874442011-06-19T12:04:05.902-03:002011-06-19T12:04:05.902-03:00I am now so excited to read this duology.

If I had any money. I love the whole telling stories aspect. <br /><br />I cut my teeth writing with a writing partner. We were so young we wrote long hand and couldn't read each other's writing! Thus began a long standing tradition of reading out loud to each other that continues to this day. My family, even before then had a long tradition of reading out loud. It started when my parents were reading books my brother and I couldn't yet, but continued on past that point. <br /><br />Both my brother and I still read out loud, now to my boyfriend (when I have one) and my brother reads to his fiancé! Oral tradition is so highly under-rated, I love to see it, even when it is written.Bets Davieshttp://betsdavies.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-20487350235525490442011-06-19T00:47:16.811-03:002011-06-19T00:47:16.811-03:00I read the first book in this duology a couple of ...I read the first book in this duology a couple of years ago, I think, and what I remember most vividly is that the writing on the girl's body MOVED and that for some reason really creeped me out. I really enjoyed the book, but I still get the shivers when I think of what the girl's skin must have looked like...<br /><br />I'll have to pick this one up, though! I really liked her Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland.Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.com
