I think just whenever, I'm not too sure though because I can never get a copy of whatever the BOTM is until about 3000000000000 years later, and I've been kinda busy, so I've never participated. Though I intend to eventually. Hopefully sooner than later.
I loved this book. I thought it was a great spin on a classic and kept me entertained the whole way though. One of my favourite reads of this year.
This is my first time particiapting in the BOTM discussion here. How does it work? Are there discussion questions?
I was disappointed. The writing is engaging, most of the scenes where well crafted, and the characters where interesting (even if a bit stereotypical), but the story was a little too predictable at times, with the exception of the ending which didn't give the sense of triumph I was hoping for. It was a decent retelling of an old fairy tale (in a dystopian future); however, it's also the similarities to the original that make it feel like a copy at times.
