I'm by no means a prude, but there are just times when I think these things are just added for shock value and totally unnecessary to the story.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-74274066326838807262010-02-24T12:50:28.590-07:002010-02-24T12:50:28.590-07:00I'm sorry you didn't love this, but I am g...I'm sorry you didn't love this, but I am glad I read this review, because it is tempering my expectations a little, which is probably good!Jen (Devourer of Books)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12749409263374016356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-52699511616604588862010-02-24T09:36:36.189-07:002010-02-24T09:36:36.189-07:00Is there a reliable place you snag your cover phot...Is there a reliable place you snag your cover photos?Julie (ASmAcc)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13486383200911669826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-22865250416234014562010-02-24T05:52:44.871-07:002010-02-24T05:52:44.871-07:00Hi Suey

Differing opinions make for wonderful discussion!Luannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14831940198814551829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-72339640730589570562010-02-23T18:30:19.675-07:002010-02-23T18:30:19.675-07:00Even though I loved this book, I have to agree wit...Even though I loved this book, I have to agree with you on the sex issue -- there was a lot of it, and it sometimes seemed unnecessary. <br /><br />One of the reasons I'm always hesitant to give a "this is the greatest book ever" review is what you mentioned -- hearing how much a book will blow you away has an awful tendency to ruin it with unrealistic expectations.<br /><br />Still, a B+ isn't bad :)Kim (Sophisticated Dorkiness)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09240085627916462704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-49376487785125685852010-02-23T09:54:08.305-07:002010-02-23T09:54:08.305-07:00It sounds like a fascinating story and I am sorry ...It sounds like a fascinating story and I am sorry to read that it didn't set you on fire - sometimes books can be less than the sum of their parts if you know what I mean. Although I am intreigued - how is Queen Isabella portrayed? (I have always been interested in her!) Interesting review - thanks.Hannah Stonehamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139146341592918233noreply@blogger.com
