          <body><![CDATA[I should have figured it by the time I had finshed reading Midnight's Children, but I actually don't like the way Rushdie writes. He uses more of a stream on consiousness, and I generally prefer a narrative because I sometimes find his style hard to follow. I'm not sure I'll finish this bok, but I'l...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60270578">more...</a>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[I have really enjoyed reading these stories. MeiLin's writing reminds me a lot of Jacquline Carey, who I adore. I like the depth of the characters, although I do think that Temmin needs a bit more backbone and character. I imagine that he will grow into that a little as we follow his life though.

          <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this book. I have a taste for kinky smut, but thankfully Jacqueline Carey can deliver that along with a great story! To be honest I did prefer the first 3 books in this series more than these last 3 though. I fell in love with Phedre, and Joscelin is quite simply the most romantic f...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42034555">more...</a>]]></body>
