I read it to the end so that I could count how many times Elizabeth acted like an idiot.

I'm so glad I have it so I can read it! I also have Witch Hunter, which was one of my most anticipated books, but I'm glad that now I know not to expect TOO MUCH out of it.

WHY IS THIS NEVER ON GOODREADS. MOTHERFUCKER.<br /><br />Re: The Witch Hunter, I think what she wants to do is totally valid but it's super disappointing for history nerds. But hey most people are not so I imagine it will help her bottom line. Which also sounds kind of dirty.<br /><br />HAHAHA SEXIER NICHOLAS.

I love humor in fantasy, but dark things can have humor too. I did chuckle in a few parts of TWH, but overall I was expecting something a bit different. Also I think my issue was that there weren't ENOUGH Anglia/England parallels, but again, that's just me :)GillyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03622344092774777709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-36925630218915220382015-06-05T14:32:57.406-04:002015-06-05T14:32:57.406-04:00AAAGH I'm still dying to read MAGONIA! Aza see...AAAGH I'm still dying to read MAGONIA! Aza seems like a lovely, vivid character, and even though a lot of people weren't comfortable with the quirkiness of this story, I'm totally willing to give it a try. I actually just finished THE WITCH HUNTER a couple of days ago, and really enjoyed it. The difference between you and me was that I had NO expectations going into it, which is why I think I enjoyed it more. I'm sorry it disappointed you! Fabulous reviews, Gillian! <3<br />Jen (Books and Other Happy Ever Afters)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13191886477394054542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-23671889637984160072015-06-05T13:58:25.837-04:002015-06-05T13:58:25.837-04:00Oh mannnn I don't know about Magonia haha! Tha...Oh mannnn I don't know about Magonia haha! That sounds insane!! But if anyone can sell me on it, it's you :) You know I loved The Witch Hunter but I also agree with you- a darker, more historical take would have been super fantastic. As it was, I found humor in fantasy to be sort of refreshing? And I liked picking out the Anglia/England parallels.
