I like her style of writing, and enjoyed the book, but honestly I prefered the other two trilogies I have by her!

I've read 19 of them--the Tamora Pierce books bumped it up nicely. What did you think of Here Be Dragons? I read the Sunne in Splendor and loved it.

I thought it was a great concept and even though it reminded me a lot of star wars I still think that it's quite original. =)

What did you thing of Anything Goes? I honestly didn't know John Barrowman had written a memoir, and now I'm interested.

I'm possibly slightly biased, but I loved it, haha, and definaetly reccomend it! My mum read it as well though, and she really liked it too. It made me laugh, and there's loads of cute little annecdotes!
