I think you're point about how you approach this series is an important one. I tend to go lenient on self-published books if I find myself enjoying it. I think I might wait on this book/series once my tbr pile goes down.

I don't really feel proud of myself for believing in that. But it's inspiring to know that she got a publishing deal after all! I can often be too critical about books so it's good to have your warning of not to think too much about this one for if I do read it.

It has made such buzz and I have bought a few of the books, but I haven't gotten around to reading them. <br /><br />Glad to hear you found it delightful. It may not stray too much but for people like me who haven't read many books involving trolls, I think it sounds very unique.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-13329375221890569192011-07-07T11:48:42.690-05:002011-07-07T11:48:42.690-05:00I actually bought this a while ago, and it's f...I actually bought this a while ago, and it's faithfully sitting on Nook waiting for me. So good to see your review! I tend to go a little easier on self-published authors or ones from small houses in terms of being nitpciky, simply because they have one, maybe two people to do the work that a book at huge house would have a team for, so I get what you are saying. I had the same experience with The Other Side of Life. Thanks for the great review - I'll move this one up my TBR list once I get through my physical books. -Lindsbibliophile brouhahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135625757196944536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-40004485219447196262011-07-07T10:46:50.568-05:002011-07-07T10:46:50.568-05:00Hmm, I want to read this one now, as it's pret...Hmm, I want to read this one now, as it's pretty cheap on Kindle.
