I've been to Snagov. Beautiful monastery/church. I don't recall there being ruins of a prison there, tho. Just saying.

100+ pages with no real development, nothing learned - but people met... I do hope they become relevant...

It only took about 300 pages but it's starting to keep my interest and be intriguing...

Just when it gets interesting, it breaks to present day with pointless and tedious discussions about cafes and architecture...

More like individual vignettes, with some better than others...

So far so good...

A bit predictable... but atmospheric and tense nonetheless...

It started dragging a little in the middle, with a lot of backstory and exposition... but threads are coming together and it's picking up...

I guessed the 'reveal' ages ago - but I don't think it matters. It's a sumptuous book, which lingers in the mind... very textured.

It's interesting. It's not quite what I expected, but it's definitely interesting.

It's picked up a bit towards the end... but the "big drama" they're building up to seems horribly predictable...

The pacing is slow. I don't mind when nothing much happens if we see a lot of character stuff - but mostly we're just seeing landscape...

Standard quest story - bit cliche. Characters are interesting, but inconsistent. Bordering on well-written and over-witten...

It's ok - enjoyable enough, tho pretty standard. The way he shifts PoV is odd, tho... I'd prefer a more fluid back and forth...

Three of four de Lint books that I've read have a girl pair - one "goody" one with "chip on shoulder". Pattern much?

In turns fun and frustrating... (I get really annoyed at plot arcs which just seem stupid and contrived... )

I liked this book the first time, but so far it's even funnier than I remember it being.
