I am no fan of herky-jerky writing like that (another brilliant adjective). It doesn’t make anything any more exciting as far as I’m concerned. But I’m glad you liked the book overall.

Now I have to read it, though. Necromancy paying, imagine.

Anything with cool magic in it appeals to me. I hadn’t heard of this one before, so I need to look this one up.

Sometimes I look back and think ‘I doubt I would’ve enjoyed this as much if it was the ebook edition’ and so on for print.

This does sound spooky but from here the magic is looking pretty awesome and definitely worth that spookiness. Magic is fun anyway, but difference makes a… difference… anyway.

She is SO violent! For some reason this has always intrigued me instead of repelled me. Now I am slightly concerned about myself.lol

We had a children’s magazine called Jack and Jill, and it regularly featured Baba Yaga stories which were undoubtedly fairly benign, but which absolutely petrified me. I couldn’t even look at the pictures. Her house had CHICKEN LEGS. And that’s all I’m going to say about it.
