I actually liked that part Like you, I didn't dislike Forest Born, for me though I just didn't feel it had enough "oomph" as the other ones. I really must reread it though, as I honestly can hardly remember anything about it. And...I just realized it's been just over a year exactly since I read it!sweeet wrote:I just felt that it had a little too much of the "GIRL POWER!" dynamic.
Oh, and I think part of the reason I'm not crazy about the "new" Bayern covers is that I generally dislike book covers that have people's faces on them. I don't mind them when they're partially obscured, but the actual faces is extremely distracting and always gets in the way of how I want to picture the characters.
Right now I'm reading a fascinating nonfiction book by Maria Tatar, called Off With Their Heads! It's about fairy tales and the culture of childhood, analyzing folktales and all that. I also have one by the same author called Secrets Behind the Door, about Bluebeard, and I'm super excited to start that one as Fitcher's Bird (a variation of Bluebeard) is one of my favorite fairy tales.
