I really love this book cover and not the new one (I would have never have known it was based in China or have Chinese influences with the new cover). I'm thinking that since this is the first book in a series, maybe the world building gets better in the second book. I don't mind much about problems with the plot as long as the characters are interesting.Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-65170808010355504502011-06-07T13:34:21.509-05:002011-06-07T13:34:21.509-05:00Alison, you always make me snickersnort.

Well then, that's enough for me. Also, sometimes if I enjoy the characters enough, it often doesn't matter to me if the plot doesn't work, so maybe I could really end up liking this book!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-66439845538011664402011-06-07T10:09:39.234-05:002011-06-07T10:09:39.234-05:00Sexual evil spirits?
