Review:
I bought this book as a part of a 4 book set… except, they aren’t actually books. They are novellas… VERY short.
The writing was good and solid and started the story well. However, when I bought this, I thought it was 4 NOVELS. Don’t get me wrong, I bought all 4 for only 0.99… but still. I just didn’t realize they were not full novels.
Now- I don’t like short stories. You will hear me say this time and again. I like LONG novels, and Series, so the story just goes on and on.
Anyways, like I said, the writing was great, though cheesy at times. I like the way the story is starting, and I feel the Snow has HUGE potential to grow throughout the series. (always a plus to see a character REALLY grow)
I cant really write a full review, because it wasn’t a full novel.
SO- off to volume 2.
(I will rate all of them the same... so check back at Volume 4 to see what the rating is. Ill come back and update this though.)

I've gotta say, the description for this series sounds pretty friggin' metal. And the title, to a similar extent. And I'd almost expect that poem to appear in a Nightwish song.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, I'll be waiting for your review. Let's see if the series is as metal as its particulars suggest.
In the meantime, I'm off to YouTube. Nightwish beckons.
