Other series writers could take lessons from Henley on how to integrate story from a previous book into a new one.Jeff Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08374806472853391788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-42757626158060834242012-08-20T22:01:52.699-05:002012-08-20T22:01:52.699-05:00Great writeup.

(It says something very good about Henley that I had some fairly serious problems with the story but still found it an engaging read.)Julie Bihnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16694252260205949341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-25480904493309322312012-08-20T19:06:29.765-05:002012-08-20T19:06:29.765-05:00Keanan, my reaction was almost identical to yours....Keanan, my reaction was almost identical to yours. I want to go back and figure out how Karyn Henley gave us such an action packed story with a dense history and never made me feel lost, even though I was coming into the second third of the story. <br /><br />I look forward to whatever else you have to say about this one. Your editor perspective is beneficial.<br /><br />BeckyRebecca LuElla Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823550402103559922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-45432295727686017902012-08-20T18:19:46.130-05:002012-08-20T18:19:46.130-05:00I'm not an editor but poor writing and typos r...I'm not an editor but poor writing and typos really bug me when I'm reading.
