| Great and interesting pace. Some new insights, some things we already knew. In many places it’s too much apologia and too little self-analysis, but the point of this book is clearly the story and the saga not the politics. | |

| A satisfying sequel with enough twists and turns to keep things interesting even if you’re very familiar with the world. Loved the character growth arc and background of Aunt Lydia especially, and Ann Dowd doing the reading makes it that much better. | |

| Loved the use of language as a plot device in this, and find it an interesting retelling. I’d never read Huck Finn! Rich storyline, though act III felt like it came a little out of nowhere. The relationship btw Jim and Huck is well done. | |

Thanks for adding me, Jessica :) I like to hear about the many bookish experiences people have, so I thought your answer was totally cool. Hoping to share more bookish experiences with you!

Hey, Jess! Happy reading and writing and blogging in 2013 :)
Gosh, blank slate? You can wipe me off after reading my 'thanks for the invite - one of the best answers I've received!' Although - only one author was correct :DAnd yes, you really do need to read Frank Herbert's Dune - genre canon. :P
