Sorry about that! <br /><br />I didn't review Fire because I decided to read it later, after Bitterblue, and I still haven't, yet. I wanted to read my ARC of Bitterblue first because there was a deadline for my review of it.Cathy Keatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356112948372149785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932333374195558840.post-41963283785971986122012-08-16T14:24:20.499-07:002012-08-16T14:24:20.499-07:00@Lan: Bitterblue was easier to relate to as a char...@Lan: Bitterblue was easier to relate to as a character, but the book was too long and just dragged a lot.

I suppose she isn't meant to be like Katsa at all and maybe that's why people have had a different reaction to her. I might like Bitterblue considering I didn't really feel a connection to Katsa. But the fact that this'd such a long book kinda puts me off.Lanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002224549199474383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932333374195558840.post-75929428319861782302012-08-15T22:09:21.697-07:002012-08-15T22:09:21.697-07:00@Ash: You still want to read Bitterblue, after all...@Ash: You still want to read Bitterblue, after all?

I think it's really hard to keep up a good pace when stories get too long.Camille Picotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202776373092423433noreply@blogger.com
