Did you ever read a book or two in a long series and they were enjoyable so you’re hooked into the storyline and care about the characters.
But then, the stories get really irritating - this strange need for authors to torture their main characters over and over again is very troubling.
So I finished this series as a spite read. Fortunately the books were short. Compared to a lot of the books I usually read.
No I’m not naming authors. @bookstodon#amreading
I’m rereading The Telling by #UrsulaLeGuin after many years. In the background of my mind I keep thinking:
She knew. She knew and she told us again and again. She knew and was not afraid to tell us.
I want to weep. #amreading@bookstodon
If you’re a fan of podcasts, there are over dozen podcast dedicated to #JaneAusten and the Brontes. If I’m missing any, let me know so I can update the list!
#WhatchaReading ? #AmReading Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh which is very intriguing so far. Lots and lots of undercurrents, clueless main character.
I appreciated the depth of the research and craft even more on a reread. The 7th century setting is engrossing, and I absolutely love the protagonist. I first read this 10+ years ago and can see the impact of the style and themes on my own writing since then.
It's hard to keep all the similar-sounding names and politics straight, but Griffith does her best and the stunning prose more than makes up for it.
